Greetings Moore County List! I am working on my Sheffield line from Southwest VA. I am trying to see if there is a tie in with the Sheffield line in Washington Co VA and the Sheffield/Shuffle line from Moore County North Carolina. My 3rd great grandfather was Whitney Sheffield. He is listed as Shuffle on the 1840 and 1850 Washington Co VA census. I have just recently verified that Whitney served in the Washington Co VA Militia in 1831. Which of course places him in Washington Co VA at that time. Whitney was born in 1801, location has not been verified. Census data states that Whitney was born in VA. When I noticed Whitney Sheffield listed as Shuffle I thought perhaps there were other Sheffield's listed as Shuffle so I began to search. I have verified the info below of of original Census Images from Ancestry.com image collections. MOORE COUNTY North Carolina Everet Shuffle 1800 John Shuffle 1800 Isham Shuffle 1800 Isham Shuffle 1810 Isaac Shuffle 1810 Everet Shuffle 1810 John Shuffle 1810 WASHINGTON CO VA Abram Shuffle 1820 Isaac Shuffle 1820 Witney Shuffle 1840 Whitley Shuffle 1850 Whitney Sheffield married Mary Jane Snyder born 1797 in Carter County TN. I have more info on my web site www.glennsheffield.com on Whitney's family. ------------ Best regards, Glenn Sheffield mailto:SheffGen@bellsouth.net
