I just received copies of the Death Certfiicates on Agnes Dean Shipley and
John Shipley from JCHS. I now believe the DAR information on Agnes Dean
Shipley is in error.
It shows
Smyrna Church - Smyrna Twp, May 5 2000
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
Agnes' Death Certificate shows she was 70 years old when she died Oct 19,
1890. That would mean she was born abt 1820.
John shows he was 73 when he died Oct 5, 1882. (Born abt 1809).
I now believe Agnes is the daughter of John Dean b. 1781 in NY and his wife
Mary Ann b. 1793 in England. Agnes was probably born in NY.
I can not locate John or Agnes Shipley on the 1860 Census.
In 1850 I believe Agnes and 2 daughters are living with her father John Dean.
Can anyone find the Shipley's on the 1880 census???
Any help on this Dean and Shipley family would be appeciated.
