One of our cousins sent the following information to me so thought I'd forward it on to see if it helps someone other than myself who is a descendant of Christian Shuman. It has a lot of great information. She advised me that she obtained this information from several sources. "Torchbearers of Freedom" by Amanda Elizabeth Fullenwider a two volume book, only 100 copies printed, is where she obtained the birth and death dates for George Shuman and it also listed Union Church Cemetery in Salisbury. The information on Barbara Shuman came from William Thomas Mitchell. She found it in the LDS Ancestral Files. Catharine Shuman was in an article by Paul Dillow in "The Saga of Southern Illinois". It is a quarterly publication of the genealogy society of Southern Illinois. Hope this helps someone. It certainly helped me out a great deal. Has anyone been able to find out who Christian Shuman's wife was as I still do not know who my GGGgrandmother was at the present time? Have a Wonderful Christmas! -----Original Message----- From: EEnteman@aol.com <EEnteman@aol.com> To: tara13@gateway.net <tara13@gateway.net> Date: Tuesday, December 21, 1999 12:24 PM Subject: Re: [SHUMAN] Christian Shuman of Rowan County, NC - (b)1730 (d)1807? >Judi, > >I have a few bit of info that may be our Christian Shuman, but is not proven. > > Christian Shuman took the Oaths of Allegiance in Northampton County, PA >in Marcy of 1778 > > Christian Shuman is listed in Graves of Revolutionary Patriots and Sons >of American Revolution as being buried at Rose Hill Cemetery, Hagerstown >County, MD.
