I have secondary information that Caroline Russell married an Isaac Shockey about 1863 in Indiana (either Tippicanoe County or Montgomery County) and that she may have had a son or twin sons by him names Strander and Stroddard, that she died about 1872. Her Shockey children may have been "adopted" by a relative of Isaac. Does any of this ring a bell?
