(Between 1770-Bef 1850) |
SHOEMAKER, Elizabeth 1 2 3
This woman and her husband may be the parents of the Butler County, Ohio Curry's. More research is needed to confirm this marriage, but there is evidence of a connection between these two families.
Elizabeth married William CURRY before 1790 in prob. Salem County, New Jersey. (William CURRY was born between 1770 and 1780 in Deleware or New Jersey and died about Nov 1832 in Sullivan County, Indiana.) |

2 1820 US Census (Sullivan County, Indiana). Repository: Ancestry. Surety: 2. Lists William Curry (age >45, b. 1775 or earlier), wife (age >45, b. 1775 or earlier) and children 1 male (age <5, b. 1815-1820), 1 male (age 5-10, b. 1810-1815), 1 male (age 20-30, b. 1790-1800), 1 female (age <5, b. 1815-1820), 1 female (age 5-10, b. 1810-1815) and one female (age 20-30, b. 1790-1800), living in Sullivan County, Indiana. The older male and female children may be a married son or daughter and their spouse (possibly daughter, Mary, and her husband, George Klemm, or son Calvin and his wife), and the youngest children may be grandchildren of William. Living nearby are (we believe) William's sons, John, Elias, Samuel and Robert, as well as Rebecca Daniels (widow of Peter Daniels), whose three daughters married Curry brothers, Rebecca's son, Joseph Daniels, and her son-in-law, Charles Morgan (who married Rebecca's daughter, Mary Polly Daniels). Rebecca Daniels' daughter, Elizabeth, married John Shoemaker, nephew of (we believe) William Curry's wife. The presence of all these family members in Sullivan County lends support to the theory that Shoemaker and Curry families are connected.
