I am searching for Joseph Andrew SHIELDS (b. 25 Oct 1815 in Tipton, Tipton, IN or Marion,
, OH; d. 1903 in Kokomo, , IN). I am trying to verify three different family histories
for the same family that were passed on to me and the information is contradictory. I
haven’t been able to find this family in my online searching except in some census. He is
the son of Robert and Martha (BROWN) SHIELDS from PA. He and his wife (Gulielma, Gulena,
Julia, and/or Mary) had 10 – 12 kids.

I think that the first wife died before 1876 and then he married Mary but I can’t tell if
any of these children are Mary’s, what his first wife’s name is or if they are all the
same person, where or when some of these kids are born, etc. This has been very
confusing. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks for your help!
