List members; please see if you can help. Nadine; The Shipmans are distant relatives of mine, related to me via the Mitchell and Roberts families, whom were my great-great-grandparents. There are many folks who can fill you in on some of this information. I do not know myself. I am forwarding your note to the Taney Co., MO List, at Rootsweb.com, and some of the other folks. Jerry Johnston ----- Original Message ----- From: Nadine Wing To: gerald.h.johnston@worldnet.att.net Sent: Saturday, January 18, 2003 10:19 PM Subject: Shipman I was wondering if there was any way to find out if Daniel Wilson Thurman was shot by your ancestor, High Shipman. Daniel was my G.Grandfather who died in 1919, at Taney Co., Mo. I was told that my G.Grandfather refused to tell where his sons were, apparently they must have been on the opposite side of Mr. Shipman, and Daniel was shot and died. I am also told that your Grandfather had pulled the trigger, and since I have become very interested in my family genealogy, I was very curious about this, and wondered if it was true. I know there are some books out, but I wondered if there was an actual account of this in any of them. Daniel would have been kin on my Dad's side of the family, and on my mother's side of the family, we have Roberts. William Jessie Roberts and Mary Ellen were my G/Grandparents. I know Mr. Shipman was married to a Roberts during his 1st marriage, and wondered if she was any kin to our family. I would be very happy to hear from you, and learn of anythi! ng you might know about this. My Roberts came from Wise Co., Va. My e-mail is: nawing1@ckt.net Thanks, Nadine Thurman Wing
