SHUFFETT descendants of Hartwell B. SHUFFETT confirm that this Thomas
SHUFFETT (mentioned below) is NOT son of James H. SHUFFETT as stated on p.
33 in the below mentioned excerpt, but that he is son of Hartwell B.
SHUFFETT. In the SHUFFETT information he is known as Thomas G. SHUFFETT who
married Lucy J. BISHOP. So...please make sure you change this information
in your CHAUDOIN Family book.
Thomas SHUFFETT b ca 1855 Green Co., KY, m 15
Mar 1876 Green Co., KY to Lucy BISHOP, & was a
farmer. (Source: SMITH, Gloria J. Cowan,
CHAUDOINS of VA, 1750-1900, Gateway Press,

Hope this helps.

Hello, All,
James posted this to the new upcoming Gen-Connect Bulletin Board for
CHAUDOIN, so thought I would forward it to the list. Possibly someone can
help him. I believe he has now subscribed to CHAUDOIN-L.
I will tell you more about the kinds of Bulletin Boards that will be
available, as soon as Gen-Connect corrects some errors that need to be made.

Subject: Origin of surnames
ORIGIN OF SURNAMES OR FAMILY NAMES
Family or surnames did not exist before the 10th or 11th centuries, being
started by the patriarchs of Venice. The practice then spread over Europe,
and by the 14th century were common in England. However, in certain areas
of England, and some of the Norweign countries, the use of surnames came
later. Surnames became necessary to distinguish persons with the same given
name from each other. For example, two persons named John.
Mabel McFartridge McCloskey, author of the book "Some Decendents of John
Endecott, Gov. of the Mass. Bay Colony", noted that the name Endecott meant
"an end cottage", which distinguished John who lived in the end cottage from
another John who lived elsewhere. Eldon C. Smith, author of "New Dictionary
of American Family Names" also makes this same observation.
By-names
Prior to the requirement of a family or surname, the lower classes had only
given or first names, such as William, Robert, etc. They lived and worked
on the lands of the nobles and great landowners. When the vassal appeared
before the clerk who kept the records of the manor to pay fines and
assesments, it would do no good for the lord's clerk to ask the peasant what
additional name he possessed. He didn't have any other name and hadn't
thought about the manor record matters. Therefore when the clerk entered the
vassals name in the records, he added on his own a brief description, to
distungish between two or more persons having the same first name. This
became a by-name, but the particular individual was not know among his
neighbors by this name.
The early forms of most descriptive by-names were with prepositions, such as
"atte Hill(at the hill)"; "de Bedeford(from Bedford)"; etc.
English surnames have, generally, dropped the prepositions, except for a few
like Atterbury, Underwood, and Bywater. Many French and Italian surnames
have retained the prepositions, such as, Dupont, and Lo Bello.
Sources of Family or Surnames
(1) From the man's place of residence, either present or past
(2) From the man's occupation
(3) From the father's name
(4) From the man's most prominet characheristic. Physical or otherwise.
I will now give some examples of each category.
(1) Place of residence
a.When a son of a noble or great landowner inherited his father's land,
it was only natural for him to inherit the name of the land.
b. Close - dweller in an enclosure or fenced yard; Cox - dweller at the
sign of the cock, a common signboard; French - one who came from France, a
Frenchman.
c. Endicott - dweller at the end cottage.
(2) Man's occupation
Every town or village had one who ground grain, a miller(Miller);
There was also one who made and sold shoes(Shoemaker).
(3) From father's name
Anderson - the son of Andrew; Johnson - the son of John.
(4) Physical characteristics
Reed, Read, Reade - the ruddy or red-haired man; Crookshank - the
bowlegged man or one with a crooked leg.
Corruption of Names
As surnames have undergone various corruptions and changes in the countries
where they arose, it is not surprising the change was greatly accelerated
when brought to America. For the unlettered pioneer, names took on a
roughly phonetic spelling. There was and still is a propensity to alter the
name into a familiar word with a similar sound. For example, the Dutch
Roggenfelder became the American Rockefeller; the German Dietz became Deeds
in America. The number of alterations of this kind is endless.
A personal experience. I met a man named Hammer. His father was from
Germany, but when he entered America, and gave his name to the customs
official, the official said that that name would never work here, and said
"Your name is Hammer".
The bulk of the material above is from the Introducton to "New Dictionary of
American Family Nanes" by Elsdon C. Smith.

I don't know for sure, but this sounds like it may be my Thomas SHADOWENS
(b.1822 Simpson Co., KY.) He "disappeared" in 1862, I assume he died, but
have no death information on him. However, in 1866 a marriage bond exists
between a Sarah SHADOWENS and Elias SUTTLE in Sumner Co., TN, which borders
Simpson Co., KY on the south. This same couple is found in the 1870 Simpson
Co. KY census along with James SHADOWENS (the son of Thomas SHADOWENS) and
wife Mary, And infant son Arthur Elias. I am interested in exchanging more
information.

Hello, All,
Robert RIGHTER was a fellow member of the CHAUDOIN group, but due to a very
busy schedule he finds he does not have the time he once had to fully
participate at this time. However, he will be monitoring the Discussion
List via the Archives time to time.
I am forwarding information from Bob that he wanted to share with all.
Thanks, Bob, for thinking of us. We appreciate your time and trouble.

If any of you have some titles of the books you think we researchers of the
CHAUDOINs and connecting familes should check out at libraries, that would
be very helpful. I know several times, Gloria mentions books in various
responses, so maybe she will share the titles or authors of these books.
Helping others find those resources is essential. With all of us living in
different states we need titles and authors to find the books hopefully in
our locale.
Maybe that's the teacher in me. I was always helping others find this and
that and was a resource for my students as well as fellow teachers. I had
all kinds of books & information that they were always borrowing. But you
see, I believe all of you are all teachers, as you go about helping others
find their CHAUDOIN connections and sharing what information so many of you
have searched out in your decades of living. I APPLAUD you all. THANK YOU.
YOU are the ones who make this CHAUDOIN link a success.
Everyone on the list is appreciated. We have so many wonderful people who
have researched the CHAUDOINs over decades and who have contributed freely
to the
knowledge about this family. They may not have written a book about this
family, but I find them VERY knowledgeable and VERY helpful and extremely
resourceful. And...there are some who know only a little, but who help by
giving the tidbit they know. THANK YOU ALL for your contributions...whether
large or small. Every tidbit helps.
Love & Friendship,
Audrey
Gloria, I really need your help here and others may also...
We need your help when you reply to our queries, since there are so many
queries directed to you. So...we kindly ask your help to do it this way
when you respond, if you will.
PLEASE press your "Reply to Author" button when answering queries...then
place answers directly below the question/query. It is becoming more and
more difficult to know what the questions were and what e-mails are being
responded to when all questions are answered in one note and mixed together.
PLEASE respond to each e-mail separately for us to understand who & what
you are referring to, if it is your desire to help...otherwise it only
serves to confuse the issues/situation more. Possibly my questions below
will show how confusing things can be sometimes. If answered this way, your
answers will certainly be of more value and helpful, as I am sure you intend
them
to be.
I have copied parts of your last e-mail that are confusing to me. Then I
asked questions under them, so hopefully you can "Reply to Sender" and give
your answer under my last comments/query. Thank you for your consideration
and help.
>Re: I sent each one that had purchased a book as to the >correct
lineage..."
I purchased a book and never received such a printout, and so I suspect
others didn't either, that is why we need the addendum to appear on
CHAUDOIN-L. If your book is to be of a scholastic value, corrections need to
be made somewhere...and CHAUDOIN-L for now is the place to do it.
>Re: "I gave each of the girls a husband..."
You don't say who the girls are of whom you are speaking.
>Re: "...but if you don't have the information I will just say >that there
were two Benjamin's..."
You will need to clarify further what you are saying about "two Benjamins."
Two...Benjamin CHAUDOINs or what? I only know of Benjamin S. CHAUDOIN, s/o
Francis (Jr.) & Judith (???) CHAUDOIN. So what two Benjamins are you
talking about? Is there another Benjamin CHAUDOIN which is not mentioned
elsewhere that you know about and that we should be made aware of?
>Re: "...the Elizabeth is not right"
What Elizabeth is not right? Who is this Elizabeth? There are many
Elizabeths. I have Elizabeth CHAUDOIN, dau/o Benjamin & Henrietta (GUPTON)
CHAUDOIN, married to James H. SHUFFETT & then W. R. MOSS according to your
book. Are you now saying now that this is incorrect?
>"...it is proven to be Emily Jane who married the John
>Wright.19 Nov 1838,..."
Who is the Emily Jane that is being spoken of here? I have an Emily Jane
CHAUDOIN, dau/o Benjamin S. & Henrietta (GUPTON) CHAUDOIN. Is this the
Emily Jane CHAUDOIN who married John WRIGHT or another Emily Jane?
>Elizabeth Shadowen is the d/o John and is Judy's Gt.
>Gt,Gt,G.M. she married Joseph Jennings
>and moved to IL with her family.
Elizabeth is the dau/o which John and who is her mother? Had she been
listed the daughter of someone else originally? This needs to be clarified.
>James Tanner will note that there is a
>Written genealogy of the Shuffet family within the Bloyd >family line.
>This is
>another copywrite book, but check it out of the library.
Why should James Tanner note this? It was my question not James Tanner's,
and if you don't mention the title of the book, it doesn't do anyone any
good on the CHAUDOIN-L, even if it is copyrighted. Copyrighted books are
meant to be read and parts used for information, otherwise why write them.
I'm the one who wants to know about the SHUFFETTs, not James Tanner.
I hope you can understand what I mean about being confusing.
Will appreciate your help.

Oops, Gloria,

Yes, it is very difficult to look through the books in a county when they

I would like more info on this.I live in White Bluff Tn.What graveyard
is Reubin buried in?I have said this before and I think it needs
repeating,the name Shadowens was changed to Owens by some of the family
here in Dickson Co.Tn.My grandfather's grandfather was W.A.(Warren
Allen)Owens.He had a brother J.B.(Jesse Buck)Shadowens.They kept the
different spellings,but were on good terms.I don't know why the name was
changed,but this was told to me by my grandparents who knew both of them
personally.Also many older members of the family here say this too.I
believe these 2 brothers are the sons of Lewallen(spelled different
ways)Chaudoin,who married Eliza Jones.

There was a divorce and second wife is Karen Leah Evanrow b: ? WASH.
last three children must be hers.
S. Shuffet, was a Minister and had been married prior to the marriage to the
Elizabeth Chaudoin. She might have had other children but that's all I had
found to have any records. The real problem in identifying these children is
the fact they all carried nicknames, as well as there middle name, and when
they married gave there prober name. I really have no positive identify marks
on the Shuffet line. As I said in prior reports that this is a very fluid
family, part of them are already on the move and part are deceased. We relied
very heavily on the people of Green CO, KY. Court House and the county Clerks
as well as Barren CO, were the connecting family's came out of as well as
Nelson CO, KY. When county's were redrawn is where the problem comes in. So
you thought just to say that it was in error and not the right person is
alway's an easy say so. As far as Elizabeth's children with Moss, I was
cramped for space and time to do a second copy which was mainly unedited with
a lot of the previous documents and foot notes erased so it would print. My
new printed is now emitting ink all over the page, it's only 3 years old, and
worn out.
Problems are many with not a stitch of help. I think I lost what small
measure I had
of courage to say anything I might regret. That nut in California, WestieGS

don't have the information I will just say that there were two Benjamin's and
the Elizabeth is not right it is proven to be Emily Jane who married the John
Wright.19 Nov 1838, Elizabeth Shadowen is the d/o John and is Judy's Gt.
Gt,Gt,G.M. she married Joseph Jennings
and moved to IL with her family. James Tanner will note that there is a
Written genealogy of the Shuffet family within the Bloyd family line. This is
another copywrite book, but check it out of the library. WestieGS
Quite right, Audrey, it is Dickinson, CO, TN. A very hard County to search.
Books written but not index and that's where Ruben Shadowen died at, and is
buried there.
