I take these trees with a lot of skepticism and try to prove what is on them before I go taking it as fact. The one I found has 13 user submitted trees that ancestry had combined into one..see what I mean by skepticism! At least one might have the missing key but you still have to search for it's proof. Anyway, they have this: John Franklin Shoaf 1844-1928, son of John Shoaf and Mary F. Binkley. spouse, Louisa Astzmann, b. 1839, Davidson, NC, d. 1906, Davidson, NC, does not list her parents. It only covers one child and that is Sallie Catherine Shoaf, b. 9/13/1873, Yadkin, NC, d. 7/10/1958, Forsyth, NC, married on 2/23/1895 in Yadkin, NC to Robert Franklin McNeil, b. 10/4/1873, Wilkes, NC, d. 7/30/1963. Sallie and her husband have a slew of children listed and they're all shown born in Courtney, Yadkin, NC. This tree covers at least three generations back on the Shoaf lineage. Let me know if you want the whole thing. Pat Beaty Webster http://beaty-cox.org Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
