Hey, Bill...
Almost seven years later, I notice the middle part of your post re Schacke/Shockey.
My GG Grandfather was Lewis Schacke (changed it to Shockey also) who married Caroline Webber (Weber) in Quincy, Adams, IL on 5-11-1856. On their marriage license, he is listed as being born in Germany while she was born in IL.
By the 1880 Census, she was listed as Caroline Shockey, widow, living with their son John Shockey (age 22), daughter Lulu Shockey (age 19), and her widowed mother C. Annie Weber (who had previously been listed as Nancy) (age 70).
I know next to nothing about the Schacke/Shockey part of my family tree. I'd be interested to see what you might have.
TIA,
diane
P.S. Sorry to all you Chidester branches for the slight threadnap, I just rarely see either of the Schacke/Shockey names and got all excited!
