| Hello! I'm researching the Shockey family of Western Pennsylvania, beginning with my great-great-grandfather John Valentine Shockey. It is believed that he was born in Somerset Co, PA, in 1819. He does not show up in the federal census until 1870, and then twice, in Clearfield County, PA. John V may have been married twice, although I cannot find a first Mrs Shockey. Hopefully, someone will have the key to my research! He was married to Mary Ann Ort, perhaps in Maryland, one source saying in 1852, the year his 4th child and my great-grandfather, Matthew was born. Other sources suggest she was born in 1819 which would eliminate the alleged first Mrs Shockey. Their children were: Philena Rachel, Abraham Christopher, Frances Ann, Matthew H, Kate Wood, George W, John W, Susannah, Amanda, Samuel Taylor, and Nancy. Matthew H Shockey, born 4 April 1852 in/near Curwensville, Clearfield Co, PA, and husband of Sarah Mary Broadhead of Reynoldsville, PA, was my great-grandfather. He was a coal miner. Their children were: Florence Elena, Ivan Richard, Fernley Thomas (my grandfather), Arden Abraham, Amy Marguarite, Edith Hannah, and Clarence Oliver. All of the children except Clarence were born in Rathmel, Jefferson Co, PA. Clarence was born in Kiskiminetas Twp, Armstrong Co, PA. I hope to meet cousins and share information about my unique and interesting family. Other surnames I'm researching: Bartley, Christy, Kinzer, Campbell, Cumberland, Hall, Duer, Cornell/Corneal, Smith, Wright, Miller, Glendenning, Moore, Upperman, Purnell, Jenkins, Ring, Wolfe, Hollingshead, Baines, Bastard, Tayler, Stone, etc. |
