Looking for the parents of FRANCIS SHACKELFORD who died in Caswell Co. abt 1779-1780. Will witnessed Feb 18, 1780. Wife was EUNICE TERRY. Children were REBECCA, ARMISTEAD, NANCY, HENRY, ABSOLOM, ABNER and BETSY. Appears in Orange Co. deed books in 1769. Had a lot of dealings with families named DICKERSON and TERRY. After he died, his wife and some of his children moved to Pittsylvania Co., VA. Is this where he is from? This FRANCIS SHACKELFORD is not the son of JOHN SHACKELFORD of Onslow or Carteret Co., NC. The marriages of some of his children were as follows: ABSALOM married NANCY HOLCOMB, NANCY SHACKELFORD married RICHARD COLE, ABNER SHACKELFORD married FRANCES WRIGHT, HENRY SHACKELFORD married MARY SHIELDS, JOHN SHACKELFORD married JEANE SHIELDS. I have no proof that his wife's name was EUNICE TERRY, but executors of his will included OLIVE. or OLIVER TERRY, and ABNER SHACKELFORD named his only child, ABNER TERRY SHACKELFORD. I would appreciate any information on this particular family.
