MAUCKS, WATSON, LONGBOTTOM & SHIREMAN:
I, too, am related to the Watson and Maucks and can add two more families.
Joseph Longbottom born before 1760 ( my 3rd great grandfather)in North
Carolina had a son Joseph, Jr. who married Rebecca Wiseman in Harrison
County, IN. Their daughter, Appolonia Longbottom married Valentine Shireman
(my great grandparents). A son of Appolonia & Valentine was Henry Hardin
Shireman and he married Addie Huffman. Henry & Addie were my grand parents.
Their daughter, Bessie Lona Shireman married Landon Clifford Minor of Iowa
and I am their daughter Donna Faye Minor Tesch.
A brother of Appolonia was Jessie E. Longbottom and he married Catherine Ann
Mauck, daughter of Frederick Mauck and Elizabeth Mary Ann Snapp. Another
Mauck child, Mary Ann married Filman Roby (the one left out of the will???)
and Margaret Rebecca Mauck married Curtis Roby.
I also show a Margaret "Addie" Mauck born January 8, 1869 married James
Granville Shireman, son of Eli Shireman, son of Jacob Shireman.
My mother was born in Mauckport, Indiana and I have quite a write up about
the Longbottoms donating the land for Mauckport, Indiana and establishing the
first ferry across the Ohio River to Brandenberg.
Would appreciate any corrections of comments.
