sanfordshores65 — 2012-05-06 02:44:00Z

I am, I believe, to the point that some outside help would be appreciated. I am interested in the Shores line through James Sr. b. Baltimore 1793, son of Levin, b. 1762 in Dorchester and so on back to Thomas, b. 1650 in ?. Dames Quarters keeps coming up if that's any help.
Thanks in advance.

Nathaniel Shores, son of James Shores, Franklin Co, Missouri

SandyRagets — 2012-03-06 02:30:28Z

I'm trying to sort out the family of Nathaniel (1868/1869-1944)& wife Missouri Lyles (1873-1951) of Franklin County, MO (Moselle) and St. Louis, MO.
If anyone has information Nathaniel's father, James or his mother (unknown to me) OR on Missouri Lyles parents (who I believe were Stephen & Missouri), please contact me.
All African American, as far as I know, but my line was very light-skinned and "passed" as white in another state.
Thanks

Re: James Shores 1792/3 - 1865

sanfordshores65 — 2012-02-27 22:58:15Z

I'm looking for info on the children of James Sr. My grandfather was Lewis Shores b.1883 in Fulton County Ill. His mother ? died while he was young and he was raised by his grandmother Mary ,husband John killed Kennesaw Mtn in 1865. John's son was I believe William S. Shores, my grandfathers' dad. My problem is that my grandfather was very secretive about his life with my grandmother and I don't know his mother or his first wife. My grandmother was his second wife and they married in 1912. Any help?

Seeking information on Greenberry SHORES who was killed at Fort Laurens in 1779. Fort Laurens was the only Revolutionary War fort in what is now Ohio.It was built in Nov. 1778 near what is now Bolivar, OH, south of Canton. Greenberry was in the company of Capt.

He deserted from that company 6 April 1777.

"Green" SHORES and a Thomas SHORES were in Capt. William HANCHER's company in Dunmore's War in Oct. 1774.

Hi Charlie,

Still looking for more. David SHORES marriage to Martha SISK has John SHORES as bondsman in 1820? Everyone thinks he is from William SHORES son of Reuben? But what if he is from John SHORES instead? Naming first son William Moses is why we think William is his father?

Nice hearing from you on here.

MaryGene43 — 2010-10-25 00:24:59Z

I am searching for a William SHORES who married Mary BRAY and had a son William.

My dates are wildly estimated: the marriage may have been around 1777, and the place may have been Maryland.

William Sr. died and Mary remarried, I believe. I know that one of her subsequent children was born in Allegany Co., MD.

Would any of this have any link to your Williams?

margerice1 — 2010-04-11 02:52:58Z

I have an original Cabinet Card photograph of “Paul Demond Shores – one year old May 12, 1902”, which I’d like to get back to descendants or family members. Photo was taken in Northampton (Hampshire Co.) MA.

I found Paul Shores in SSDI, with birthdate 12 May 1901; he died Dec 1984 and was last of Franklin Co., MA. 1910 Northampton, MA census shows Paul D., age 8, son of Harvey Shores (41) and wife Mabel (40). All three were in the same location for the 1920 census. By 1930, Paul D. (age 28) was living in Bernardston (Franklin Co.) MA with wife Carolyn L. (26) and son William H. (2).

Get back to me at margerice@prodigy.net if you are related to this family.

Re: Shores NC > IN

I believe our two families are connected. I'm from David Shores 1801 - 1854 who lived near John Shores in 1840 and 1850 Randolph County, IN. I agree John didn't die till later I found him living with daughter in later census. But I don't have it in front of me at this time. David Harty later marries Elizabeth Curry who is David Shores daughter. Both David and John name their oldest child William too!

I've just begun a search for Shores ancestry. My grandfather is Benjamen Lee Shores and his mother was Fannie Paten. They both died in Georgia. Think his father was David Shores but cannot find info on him yet. I am searching for the Cherokee blood also. My grandfather was originally from Missouri DOB 1892. The Native American blood is strong in him and his children so believe he was half-Cherokee.

Re: My info on the Shores family (N.C., AR., Al, Ga. )

2009-10-15 11:46:01Z

Actually there are at least two tribes and possibly more within the Shores family just within the last 150 years. While your grandmother may have been Cherokee, my gg-uncle Andrew Jackson Shores married his cousin's(Jonathan Shores) daughter, Jane Shores, who was half Mohawk. Jonathan's wife, Lucy Wilkerson was full Mohawk Indian. Not everyone in Tennessee was fighting the native american people in the early 18th century:)

I have recently received personal y-line DNA test results that indicate Native American blood within the Shores family--father to son, father to son, etc. What the test does not tell me is what tribe, etc. It is most assuredly in our family.

Need help with parents/line of Andrew Jackson Shores of Allen Co. Ky

flawless21 — 2009-10-15 11:40:59Z

I am the g granddaughter of Andrew Jackson Shores who married Biddie Ann Lamb.

I have found in census/death records that his father was named William T. Shores and was born in Macon Co. Tennessee.
William T Shores married Malinda E. Travelstead (Travelstreet,Treffenstate) in 1870. I believe William's mother may have been named Sarah / Sary (1860 census). I cannot find anything about his father.

I am at a dead end in trying to go back farther with this line. I know that William T. Shores is buried at Rough Creek Baptist Church 4-6 miles south of Scottsville, KY (unmarked grave to my knowledge--I couldn't find it!)

All my work has been through Ancestry.com as I am 8 hours away from Allen Co. KY and TN paper records!

I'd appreciate any help on this line!
