David Shonk 4th child of Jacob and Magdalena Shonk was born 10 July 1825 d. 19 April 1892
m Christena Sherreth 6 Aug 1831. They migrated to Indiana in 1855 with his parents and
other members of his family. He had one son Jacob born in Ohio in 1851.
So your David Shonk is not a son of Jacob and Magdalena--could he be a brother of Jacob
Shonk b. in Pennsylvania 1794. We have further genealogy of Magdalena but they could not
trace further on Jacob.
The man who compiled the book spent many years gathering information. He was from Dover,
OH. 30 years he came to Indiana researching. He made more than one trip here and many
trips to PA.
