I am descended from her sister Mary Elizabeth Shipman who married George Walter Reelhorn. My great-grandmother, their daughter Calla Mariah Reelhorn, got her middle name from an aunt--obviously your Hannah Mariah Shipman Beal. My searches show the parents of Mary Elizabeth and Hannah Mariah Shipman were John Shipman (b. 1819 in Pennsylvania) and Hannah Mary/Mariah Gillet (b. 1816 in Vermont). John Shipman's father was Jacob Shipman (b. 1779 in New Jersey) but I haven't discovered his mother's name yet--Jacob's wife Mary, as of the 1850 census, was John's stepmother. John Shipman had a brother named Lewis Shipman (a next door neighbor in Guernsey County) and a sister named Margaret Shipman. There was also another sister. Hannah Mary Gillet was the daughter of Jedediah Gillet and Martha (Patty) Jagger, both born in Connecticut. I have a list of their children if you are interested. Their daughter Mary Jane Gillet married Lewis Shipman, so the Lewis Shipman children are double cousins with our Hannah Mariah Shipman Beal and Mary Elizabeth Shipman Reelhorn. If you are interested, let me know. Maybe we can trade information. --Kathryn Peters
