Hi Folks - Been working on this all day. I believe I have found a
"transciption error" in the Smyrna Church Cemetery records:
Shipley, Agnes Dean, w/o J.W., b. New York, d. 23 Feb 1848, age 72 yrs
Shipley, John W., 02 Jul 1810 - 05 Oct 1882
Shipley, Mary E., 13 Feb 1861 - 17 Nov 1919
Shipley, Alice A., d/o J.W. & A.D., 25 Jun 1840 - 15 May 1876
This show Agnes died at age 72 in 1848. That would mean she was born abt
1776.
I just located the marriage record of John W. Shipley and Agnes Dean dated
October 10, 1836 in Clinton County, Ohio.
I believe she was 72 years old when she died.
The Jefferson County Death Records show:
Shipley, Agnes Oct 19, 1890
Shipley, Johm Oct 5, 1882
So . . . . . I think she was born about 1818.
I am curious to find out more about the where the death date of February 23,
1848 came from. Was the 1 misread as a 4?
Now, if that's the case, who is Agnes' father????
Thanks,
Karen
