Lori,
You may want to check on the 1900 Wise County census on page
137B & 138A. There are several Wells families on the pages that
David & Amanda Shook are listed on. Amanda uses these named
as names for her children.
Hello list,
I just recently found some new information from my husband's grandmother. We
found her husband's death certificate. Her husband was John Mathew SHOOK,
b.04/20/1901 and d.02/07/1974 in Wise Co., VA. I had been looking for
information about his mother, whom I thought was Amanda Elizabeth STUART.
Well, on his death certificate it lists his parents as Dave SHOOK and Amanda
WELLS. Then I remembered some marriage licenses that someone had sent to me
on SHOOKs from Wise County, VA. I went through them again and I found the
marriage license for Wiley D. SHOOK (evidently he went by his middle name
David) and Mandy E. WELLS, m.08/11/1893 in Wise Co. VA. It lists her parents
as ______ WELLS and Ellen STIDHAM. It also lists Amanda's age as 15 at the
time she was married, which would mean she was born about 1878 in Wise Co.,
VA.
Does anyone have a connection or any information on this family? Please
contact me either through this list or at my email uni62corn(a)hotmail.com .
Thank you,
Lori in TN
