I'm researching Lucinda Shields b ca 1819 Moore Co NC d Aug 22 1884 Hall Co GA. She m 1839 moore Co. NC Everett Maness b 1819 Moore Co d 15 Aug 1876 Hall CoGA Lucinda's father was Cornelius Shields and her mother might be Molly Davis d/o Robert Davis & Nancy Cheek. I think Cornelius had a sister Catherine (Kate) who m. Nathan McManess. Cornelius Shields is in the 1800 Moore Co census on page 239. The only other Shields in that census that I saw were Benjamin Shields and Rubin Shields. Cornelius is not in the 1810 census, but Patrick, Archibald, neill and Ruben Shields are. (This is from some old notes) Lucinda (Lucy) and Everett Maness' children: Milton A. maness Martha Louise Maness Lydia Clementine Maness Wincy Isabella Maness Everett Maness Jr Cornelius E. Maness Lucinda E. Maness David Cincinnati Maness richard Maness John J. Maness Burrell E. Maness Anything anyone has to add will be most appreciated.
