James is the son of Revolutionary War Patriot James Shields b. 4-14-1732 ( ? ) in West Strabane Twp area, PA, d. 4-13-1847 E. Mahoning Twp, Indiana Co. PA > > My Uncle is trying to join SAR and tho we have all sorts of historical records of James and Robert, we cannot find documentation stating they are father and son to complete the SAR application. I attempted this for DAR quite a few years back with the same results. There are several that have became members of both DAR and SAR thru Robert's brother George, but so far we have not been able to find any certification for Robert to James. > > Caldwell's History of Indiana Co. states that James and his son Robert moved to Indiana Co. in the early 1800's from Ligonier Valley. Census from 1850 lists Robert and family in N. Mahoning Twp, Indiana, PA, but I cannot find anything on record showing the two are father/son. > > Any help/advice would be appreciated. I had burned out on this several years back and my Uncle is pursuing it now, so there may be more leads that I am not aware of since I had worked on the Shields lineage last. I had been working on several branches, and was hitting brick walls on my Shields, Shankle, Sexton and Dunlap's and needed to take a break! > > Thank you in advance, > Pamela-Shields Patty > > ------------------------------- > To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to PAINDIAN-request@rootsweb.com with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message _________________________________________________________________ Hotmail: Trusted email with powerful SPAM protection. http://clk.atdmt.com/GBL/go/201469227/direct/01/ ------------------------------- To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to PAINDIAN-request@rootsweb.com with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message --- Get FREE High Speed Internet from USFamily.Net! -- http://www.usfamily.net/mkt-freepromo.html ---
