I am researching the surnames Shinn, Wigfield, Baughman, and Swails in Pennsylvania and New Jersey.Job Shin was born 1793 in New Jersey and moved to the Bedford and Huntingdon Counties area where he died in 1862 and is buried in Orbisonia, Pa. His first wife, Nancy, is buried with him, as is his second wife, Sarah Flanigan.His son, Job Shinn, married Susan Elizabeth Swails in Juniata County. They both died in 1914 in Bedford County, Pa. Their son, Walter Woodward Shinn married Anna Elizabeth Wigfied, and I am their grandson. Anna Wigfield's parents were Adam Wigfield, son of Joseph Wigfield, and Eliza Belle Baughman, daughter of George Baughman and Mary McCahan. Any information on any of these ancestors will be appreciated, but I especially need the county in New Jersey in which Job Shin was born and the location of his marriage to his first wife, Nancy Chambers. |
