Paul, I recently sent this message to the mailing list and got no response. The following is an e-mail I received from a webmaster who posted Shockey Indians of Indiana. There seems to be a parallel with my ancestors through Isaac Shockey, son of Christopher and his two sons Isaac Jr and Abraham who moved with Isaac Sr. to KY then Isaac Jr. and Abraham moved on to OH. Webmaster: "I don't know much about the Shockeys at all, they were listed as living sometime in the Indiana region. I did a quick search for more information and came up with a few sites, but information about them is very patchy. It seems they were related to the Miamis.". http://www.brookston.lib.in.us/WhiteCo/chii.htm http://www.gbl.indiana.edu/archives/miamis12/M59-60_2a.html http://www.rootsweb.com/~indian/indnat.htm http://www.gbl.indiana.edu/archives/miamis12/M59-60_13a.html http://www.geocities.com/kentuckyindian/indian.list.html I have followed the discussions regarding Shockeys who might have been part Indian. My ancestor may have married one in KY. It was reported that Isaac's son Abraham was in a picture where he was dressed in Indian garb. This family has been recorded as having very good relations with the local Indians of Champaign and Allen Cos. in OH which is an area where the Miami Confederation Of Indians once lived. Do you suppose a group of Shockeys or even a Shockey intermarried with Indians and came to be called Shockey Indians? Then again, perhaps the name of this tribe simply sounded like Shockey and Shockey is the English version of their tribal name. It could be possible for a tribe to be re-named after a Shockey Patriarch when the group may have splintered off from an earlier group. Then again, there is a reference dated 1759 mentioning the Shockey Indians who met in Pittsburg. Isaac Shockey was not even born until 1751-2 so it does look as though the group who may have migrated from PA to OH to IN was a tribe with a similar name an unrelated to the Christopher Shockey Family. Here are some excerpt from the links posted above: A Standard History of White County Indiana An Authentic Narrative of the Past, with an Extended Survey of Modern Developments in the Progress of Town and Country Under the Supervision of W. H. HAMELLE; VOLUMES I and II; ILLUSTRATED; THE LEWIS PUBLISHING COMPANY CHICAGO AND NEW YORK 1915 INDIANA AS A PART OF NEW FRANCE ... As shown in his "History of Indiana," published six years before his death, it is unfolded in this wise: "In 1670, and for many years previous, the fertile region of country now included within the boundaries of the State of Indiana, was inhabited by the Miami Confederation of Indians. This league consisted of several Algonquin tribes, notably the Twightwees, Weas, Piankeshaws and Shockeys, and was formed at an early period—probably in the early part of the seventeenth century—for the purpose of repelling the invasions of the Iroquois, or Five Nations, at whose hands they had suffered many severe defeats. By the frequent and unsuccessful wars in which they were compelled to engage in self-defense their numbers had been greatly reduced until, at the date mentioned, they could not muster more than fifteen hundred or two thousand warriors. They dwelt in small villages on the banks of the various rivers in Indiana and extended their dominion as far east as the Scioto, north to the Great Lakes and west to the country of the Illinois. Their principal settlements were scattered along the headwaters of the Great Miami, the banks of the Maumee, the St. Joseph of Lake Michigan, the Wabash and its tributaries. Although once important among the nations of the Lake Region they had become greatly demoralized by repeated defeats in war, and when first visited by the French their villages presented a very untidy appearance. They were living in constant terror of the Five Nations, practicing only sufficient industry to prevent starvation and indulging all their vicious passions to a vulgar extreme.

I would like to know more about any Indian connection with the Shockeys. I have pictures of my Grandmother's twin sisters dressed as Indians. My Grandmother Henrietta Belle Shockey Dyer had several fruit jars full of different colored beads like the Indians put on some of their clothing.

Surnames: Shockey/Schacke/Spencer/Webber Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/ZVHBAIB/304 Message Board Post: My gg grandmother, Caroline C. Webber (Weber) married a Lewis Schake in Quincy, Adams, IL on 6-11-1856. Caroline was the daughter of Charles Webber (born in Germany) and Nancy (Annie) Unknown (born in PA). Sibs are Julia F., Charles F., Sarah, Frank, & Henry Webber. On the 1880 Adams Cty Census, she is listed as "Caroline Shockey, Widow." Her children living with her at that time were: John Shockey (22) and Lulu Shockey (19). Under Lulu's info her father is listed as being born in Germany. Lulu married Frank Edward/Edgar Spencer and gave birth to William George, Frank E. (Edward/Edgar), Emmett F. (allegedly Francisco), Nina Eva/Elizabeth, & Carter "Carl" Harrison Spencer (my maternal grandfather). They must have lived in Chicago, Cook Cty, IL for some period of time because my grandfather was born in Cook Cty in Oct 1884. I have been scouring everything I can here on the boards, in Illionis, Quincy & Adams Cty records but it seems like my Webbers & Shockeys just vanished into thin air! Most likely, the Webber girls (Julia & Sarah) married some unknown heart throbs and left the area. Family lore has it that Julia married a Harvey, possibly w\the first name of William, and moved up socially and possibly even moved to Kansas City (not sure if KS or MO). Evidently, he was a prominent man active in Kansas City society, mucky muck in the Masonic Order and a Knights Templar. Family story has it that he sang at Lincoln's funeral. I saw a photo years ago that seemed to support the story but unfortunately didn't pay attention to the details. Supposedly, Julia & Sarah were babes & socialized with the John Wood family. He being the former governor of IL & a highly respected citizen of Quincy. I haven't been able to track down John Shockey or his uncles, Charles and Frank Webber. Lewis Schacke is a complete mystery to me. I'm not sure when Schacke became Shockey within our family but it seems to have occurred between 1856 when Lewis & Caroline married and 1880 when she appears as a widow. A funny sidebar...Caroline's mother appears variously as Nancy Webber, C. Annie Weber, & Anna Webber in various census reports. Her age seems to vary from census to census also. She claims to have been born in PA but some of her children claim that both she & her husband Charles were born in Germany. Go figure! We still have family in the Quincy area: Keil, Speckhart (sp?), Spencer, Moore, & Blatter. Anyway, I'm trying to fill in some gaps and thought perhaps some of this might resonate with other Shockey searchers. Sorry if I've gone on a bit long here but it just seemed to lengthen as I filled in the gaps with what I've been led to believe as well as what I've researched. Thanks, Diane redcat@domocities.com
