Our Scheiffle/Shively Ancestry

First Generation

Johann Michael Shively was born about 1717 in Germany. His surname originally was Scheiffle, but was Americanized to Shively.

He emigrated in 1738 from Germany. He arrived in Philadelphia, PA on the Palatine ship, the St. Andrew. (he is listed as Michael Scheissle). The ship had come from Rotterdam and Cowes, on the Isle of Wight. He died about 1778/80, based on the fact that he doesn't appear in any records after 1778.


Michael Shively's signature above, and land grant map courtesy of Catherine Paystrup who also descends from Michael.

Apparently Michael was either married when he emigrated or married shortly thereafter, because Margaret Smith, who researched the line found a daughter born to him:

From Margaret's work: In 1740, Michael Schauffle was listed as a member of the Monocacy Lutheran Church Congregation. (PENNSYLVANIA GERMANS IN MARYLAND, 93 by Nead) Here, Michael’s daughter, EVA DOROTHEA, was born March 9, 1740 and was baptized August 10, 1740. Sponsors were George and Margaretta Spengle, and Sebastian Winterbauer. (EARLY LUTHERAN BAPTISMS AND MARRIAGES IN SE PENN, Records of Rev. John Casper Stoever, 1730-1779, p 14) Both Spengel and Winterbauer had arrived at Philadelphia in Oct 1737.

By spring, 1741, the Winterbauers, Spengles, and Michael Schaeufle were in the eastern end of Conewago located in Penn Township, York County, Pennsylvania. On May 18, 1741, Michael Scheufele was a sponsor with Maria Magdalene Winterbauer for a daughter of John Meier. (Conewago Lutheran Parish Records) The same baptism was given in the records of St. Matthew’s Lutheran Church established in 1743 by Conewago area inhabitants. However, the surname Scheufele was spelled here Schrufel.

[obviously Michael's first wife must have died before 1743 as he married Christina Maria Kessler, May 17, 1743 in Christ Lutheran church, York, Pennsylvania, daughter of Jakob Kessler and Maria Traut. Christian Maria Kessler was born circa 1725 and died before 1768]

continuing from Margaret's research

In 1743 Michael Schrufel and wife, Christina, were witnesses for the baptism of a child of Samuel Rabbers born 20 April 1743. Michael Schaufele and wife, Maria Christina, were sponsors at the baptism of Jacob Kessler, born June 1746, son of Jacob Kessler.

On June 23, 1747, Jacob Kessler and wife, Ester, were sponsors for Michael’s son, JOHN CHRISTIAN SCHAUFFLE, born October 25, 1746.

Another son of Michael, JOHN SCHAUFELE, was born April 14, 1749 and baptized May 26, 1749. Witness: Lorenz Stambach. (Although the name of the wife, who with her husband was a sponsor for a baptism, often was given, the name of the mother of the infant being baptized was rarely given.)

According to his 1760 Grantor Indenture, MICHAEL SHIVELY (name Americanized) on June 2, 1748, had a Warrant and Survey for 180 acres near Codorus Creek in West Mannheim Township, Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, this later in York County. The family would have moved to this new area some time after John’s baptism in May 1749 in Penn Township. Since there was no established church in West Mannheim until 1753, this could account for the birth, July 9, 1751, and baptism, May 17, 1752, of JOHN JACOB SCHEIFFLE, son of Michael and Christiana, being in the records of Christ’s Evangelical Lutheran Church, City of York. Possibly, the pastor there performed some early baptisms in the new area of West Mannheim.

The new church in West Mannheim Township was called Sherman’s (St. David’s) Union Church. (See map) It housed both the Lutheran and Lutheran Reformed congregations which met on alternate Sundays. It was here that JOH. HEINRICH SCHEIFELE, son of Michel Scheifele, was baptized March 14, 1759. He was born January 27, 1759. Sponsors: Joh. Heinrich ? Meng and Anna Maria Battenfeldin. Although no other children of Michael were recorded here, between November 30, 1755 and April 8, 1760, Michael and Maria Christina were sponsors for six baptisms. For one of these baptisms, Michael, sponsor, was listed as Joh. Michael Scheifele son JOHANN MICHAEL SCHEIFFLE would have been his full name. Many variations in spelling of the surname SCHEIFFLE have been found in the baptismal records published by Bates and Wright in YORK COUNTY PENNSYLVANIA CHURCH RECORDS OF THE 18TH CENTURY C 1991. All were recorded originally by the German and Swiss ministers in the German language, then translated.

Christina died before 1768 and Michael married third to Hannah Harding, daughter of John "Redstone" Harding and Sarah Moss. Hannah was born in 1745 in Elizabethtown, New Jersey, and died in Perry County, Indiana _________. Michael had at least one daughter by his first wife, Eva Dorthea, four sons by his second wife, Christina (listed below) and at least three sons by his third wife, Hannah Dean Shively, listed below.

There is a booklet written by Margaret E. Shively Smith on this line; and from where I obtained some of this information. I have it in my files. "Descendants of Henry and Mary Banta Shivley " by Lottie Compton McDowell 1972 with a supplement "Johann Michael Scheiffle (John Michael Shively) Immigrant 1738" by Margaret E. Shively Smith 1993, 1997.

YORK COUNTY, PENNSYLVANIA, 1733-1800: CHRIST EVANGELICAL LUTHERAN CHURCH

The ministers of Christ Evangelical Lutheran Church, located in the city of York, began keeping records in 1733. The late F. J. C. Hertzog translated the original entries from German to English in 1919. The records in this database span the years 1733-1800 and include the names of 17,565 individuals who lived in York County. For researchers of German immigrant ancestors who settled in Pennsylvania and their descendants, this database can provide valuable vital statistics not available in other records.

He married Christina Kessler in York PA. 1743. Proven, church records listed above.
Children were born and baptized in York, PA 1746-1759. Proven church records listed above.

Notes from the Shivley Message Board on Roots: The Shively researchers on the early Shively's (Christian, Jacob, and Henry) in Jefferson Co, KY believe that the father of these men is Michael Shively and wife Christina Kessler.

This proof comes from land records in which for the most part are found in Berkeley County, VA Deed Books. The deeds do list Christian as a son of Michael and Christina (I use the name Hannah because in one deed she is listed as Hannah). Mary, wife of Christian, was not examined before leaving Pa-W VA in regards to the sell of their land so there is also a wonderful "paper trail". Mary is examined in Jefferson County, KY and the information sent back to Berkeley County (Berkeley Co VA Deed Book 7, Pages 281-282).

I hope I am giving the correct credit but I believe that Ruth Wandel was the Shively researcher that located the Pauline Bowman papers from the DAR Library. Margaret Smith has been very instrumental also in helping with this information.

In Frederick Co. VA Book 2, Page 14, is a land grant from John and Daniel Kennedy to Michael Shively, 245 acres, 11-Oct-1766

In Berkeley Co. VA Book 4, Pages 453-455, is a land grant in which Michael and "Hannah", his wife, sells 100 acres of the above 245 acres to Christian Shively, 100 acres, 20-21 March 1778

In Berkeley Co. VA Book 5, Page 23-24, land grant in which Michael and "Christinia", his wife, sells the remaining 145 acres of the original 245 acres to Joseph Mitchell, 2-May-1778

On 15-Oct-1778, Christian Shively and Mary, his wife, sell their 100 acres to Joseph Mitchell, Berkeley Co. VA Book 5, Pages 584-585

In Berkeley Co. VA Book 5, Pages 230-231 George Myer sells to Christian Shively 100 acres, 17-March-1779

Here is the information used to prove the relation: Berkeley Co. VA Book 5, Pages 694-696 Christian Shively and "Mary" his wife sell the 100 acres to James Russell. At this time Mary did not sign the deed. On 13 of March 5th yr of VA Commonwealth, Berkeley Co, VA to Monongahala Co.

We believe/know the Philip Shively who inherited the Scott's Mill Run Land, and who died in 1840, will listed above, was another son of Michael and Christina. There is a span of years between the known children where Philip and perhaps others could fit. Apparently his line was tested as to DNA and it matched back to Michael as did Christian, Jacob, John and Henry.

Michael surveyed land in 1748 Mannheim Township, York/Lancaster Co. sold the land in 1760. We also know that Michael and Christina were god parents up until 1760 in Lutheran Church records.

1762-63. Michael has sold land in York and also obtaining a patent to land in Berkeley County, VA. By 1766 Michael has ownership of this land consisting of 245 acres. The Hon. Bryon Martin mentioned in Margaret Smith’s research was the nephew of Lord Fairfax and Bryon did most of the paperwork for Lord Fairfax who didn’t like to write. Also note, that ownership of these lands under Lord Fairfax were considered leases and yearly rent had to be paid.

Since the Berkeley land was in question between 1762 and 1766, most likely Christina died and by 1770, Michael had taken a 3rd wife, namely Hannah Harding. This would account for Christina and 4 Hannah on these deeds.

The Land located at Scotts Mill Run was not found by Margaret Smith. A settlement of this land by Michael was done in 1774. This same land was later listed to John as heir at law. Note: this land was adjacent to Abraham Harding, brother of Hannah Harding. Also, from Revolutionary Pension documents of Stephen Harding, we know this land was 2 ½ miles from the Fork of the Cheat and Monongalia Rivers.

From Larry Shively: Yes, by 1810 my John Shively was deceased and his widow, Susannah Hayden Shively, married for a second time to John Shepherd. Supposedly earlier researchers had written to Fayette County to follow up on the Power of Attorney concerning this land in Fayette County. It appears that the Power of Attorney was recorded in Fayette County but no one has been able to find any further information regarding this tract of land. (CURRENTLY, LARRY DEAN HAS HIRED RESEARCHERS TO FIND THIS INFORMATION.)

From the Monongalia County, WV Deed Book 125, Page 178 we have a deed for my John Shively who sold land to Abraham Harden which was land that Michael Shively, deceased had owned. "This indenture made the 15th day of March in the year one thousand seven hundred and ninety-two between John Shively of Nelson County and State of Virginia (later KY) of the one part and Abraham Harden of Monongalia County and state afsd of the other part....... The land contained 302 acres by survey given to John Shively (more info following)......Neighbors mentioned in this transaction include Thomas Dawson’s land on Scotts Mill Run....Abraham Harden (sic Harding)......The "survey" mentioned was given to John Shively on 8th day of July 1788 for 302 acres "unto John Shively heir at law of Michael Shively deceased a certain tract or parcel of land containing 302 acres .....being in the county of Monongalia on Scot's Mill run waters adjoining lands of Abram Harding and his settlement made in 1774.........
From the sale of this land I believe that my John Shively then purchased land in Green County, KY for his brothers Jacob and Michael Shively. In Green County Deed Book 3, Page 102 a record is made that John Shively purchased 250 acres. John Shively sold later 100 acres of this to Robert Hay. John gave bond to Jacob Shively for the remaining 167 acres which was then sold to Aaron DAWSON.

10 August 1803 Michael Shively & Jacob Shively, heirs of Michael Shively, deceased, both of Green County, appoint William ____ of Breckinridge County, their power of atty to sell & transfer a tract in Fayette County, Pennsylvania, on the waters of George's Creek. Another transaction involving Jacob and Michael Shively, 18 Jan, 1810. John Shively, deceased. So the father of the 3 boys was Michael and lived on George's Creek, Fayette Co. PA.

I am descended from the Green-Taylor-Marion-Washington Counties, KY Shively's. Our first ancestor in KY was a John Shively who we also have a deed regarding land in Monongahela Co., VA (now W. VA) of a MICHAEL SHIVELY. Please see my query on this Shively page. I have tried for years to connect my line to the Louisville Shively's who we now have pretty good proof came from a Michael Shively line. Of the early Louisville Christian, Henry, and Jacob Shively there has been a lot of work done on Christian and Henry. Poor old Jacob Shively is still somewhat of a mystery. Anyway, I hope the above information guides you in the direction to help prove what you were researching. Larry Shively AMRun@aol.com

Johann Michael Shively and Christina Maria Kessler had the following children: The baptisms of four Shively sons were found in the Lutheran records in York County, PA.

i	John *"Christian" Shively* was born on October 25, 1746 in York County, PA. He was baptized on June 23, 1747 in St. Matthew's Lutheran Church, York County, PA. He was married to Anna Marie "Mary" Bashore about 1767. Anna Marie Bashore was baptized in 1755; she was the daughter of Barnard Bashore of Berkeley County, Virginia, more below. This is our line, more below. See the BASHORE genealogy.
i	John Shively was born on April 14, 1749 in York County, PA. He was baptized on May 26, 1749 in St. Matthew's Lutheran Church, York County, PA. He died Unknown. We believe this John Shively was in the Revolutionary War, and Amelia Kelley of Chicago very generously transcribed his pension application here. From Virginia Publick claims Berkeley county Compiled and transcribed by Janice L. Abercrombie and Richard Slatten Iberian Publishing Company, Athens, Georgia Page 8 John Shively alld. 5s for 1 shot bagg & powder horn for Berkeley Militia for state (alld. = allowed) Per Amelia Kelly: I just found out more about John Shively in Tennessee. It appears he came there in the 1820s and settled on Ocoee District, Indian land. He was there when the Cherokee were moved during the trail of tears. Originally he was in McMinn County, then the land was sectioned into Bradley and then Polk County. He was listed as part of the group receiving deeds or grants to this Ocoee District land and I've emailed the Tennessee State Archives to find out how to get the information. The information is stored at State level and not county level. Ocoee means "Apricot vine place" Amelia
iii	John Jacob Shively "Jacob" was born on July 9, 1751 in York County, PA. He was baptized on May 17, 1752 in Christ's Evangelical Lutheran Church, York County, PA. He died Unknown.
iv	Philip Shively, born circa 1753? Phillip was also a son of Michael and Christiana as the DNA is a match, he remained in Monongalia area and married Appolonia Abba Back. (Also found another citation which places Philip at Scott’s Run in 1774: RESIDENCE: History of Monongalia County, WV by Samuel T. Wiley, 1883 borrowed from State Historical Society of Wisconsin on ILL, Apr. 1992). Philip was a settler on the Monongahela River in 1774 and Scott's Run. The settlements were nearly all made on 400 acre tracts, some few on less. When he was 93 he split a hundred rails in a day. He used to say that his father was "his own man for 100 years" he having been 121 years of age at his death.) Larry Shively found some documentation on this Philip Shively as follows: SHIVELY - Zinn. MONONGALIA COUNTY RECORDS OF THE DISTRICT, SUPERIOR AND COUNTY COURTS, Volume 7.

v	John Heinrich Shively "Henry" Shively was born on January 27, 1759 in York County, PA. The Shively Family Bible lists his birth date as June 1760. He was baptized on March 4, 1759 in Sherman's (St. David's) Union Church, York County, PA. A "union" church was one in which both the Lutheran and Reformed congregations worshiped in the same building.

Henry Shivley, above, son of Johann Michael, had a son, John M. Shivley, who wrote the following about his father, which tells the story of the entire Shively brothers including our Christian Shively, brother to Henry whom this story is about ~

Henry and brothers immigrated about 1780 to Kentucky. His son John M. Shively wrote the following:

"It was at Brownsville, PA (my note: Brownsville is in Fayette co., PA, which is very close to Monongalia Co., WV, and the latter place is where court documents in Jefferson Co., KY tie them to through Henry's wife, Mary, more info on that below) that my father first fell in with Daniel Boone, who induced the settlement to emigrate to Kentucky. The parties that came to Kentucky were Christian Shively, (our line) Henry Shively, Jacob Shively, and one other brother who was killed by Indians in Henry County, KY. (my note: Jacob was also later killed by Indians, I believe he was splintered before being burned at the stake).

My father settled at the Falls of the Ohio and they were comparatively secure, when Boone visited them and persuaded them to emigrate to Danville, KY to help strengthen the settlement there.

Boone was leading them when they were surrounded on a stream called Benson, in Henry County, and the greater portion of them were massacred by the Indians. Here one of my father's brothers was captured [and killed. (my note: Jacob) In this vicinity, they also ambushed a brother of my mother's. His name was Banta."

The Bantas of Pleasant Hill, Kentucky on the formation of the Low Dutch Company records the following: "In the Spring of 1784, Abraham Banta secured a tract of three thousand acres in what is now Shelby County and Henry County, KY, from Richard Beard.

In 1785, determined to have a look at their purchase before the main group removed to the new location, Captain Dan Banta, with his brothers Cornelius, Peter, John, Jacob, and their brother-in-law, Henry Shively set out from Harrod's Station for what is now Shelby County.

They went into the dense wilderness and built the first cabin within the limits of the Dutch tract. They were there but a short time when they were threatened with an Indian uprising, and were compelled to flee to the nearest station for refuge. This place was so poorly manned and provisioned that they decided to send to Harrod's Station for reinforcements. Jacob B. Banta volunteered to go alone. While crossing the waters of Benson's Creek at night he was discovered by the Indians who murdered him with his own tomahawk which they left buried in his skull as a token of revenge. He been married only a few weeks to Catharine Voorhees. The others returned to Harrod's Station when it became safe to venture out, and reported it was not safe for the families to attempt a settlement in the isolated wilderness."

The Historical Handbook of the Van Voorhees Family was published in 1935. It was compiled and edited by Oscar M. Voorhees, D.D., L.L.D.. The most relevant statements about Hendrick Banta III follow:

On December 25, 1758, a consistory was constituted for the New Reformed Church at Bedminister in Somerset County, N.J. Hendrick Banta, a man of great force of character, became an elder. A few years later, he took his growing family to Conewago, Pennsylvania, near the present city of Gettysburg and then in 1780-1 he led an expedition to Fort Harrod, later called Harrodsburg, in central Kentucky.

This Banta contingent included twelve of Hendrick's nineteen living children and nineteen grandchildren. More than half of these thirty-one children and grandchildren were under twelve years of age.

Henry Shively purchased Section 22, SE 1/4, T2N, R1E on January 19, 1825 in Orange County, IN. He bought this land from John and Amy Henry for $500.00. He is listed as a resident of Kentucky. An 1828 land sale lists him as a resident of Indiana, so he must have immigrated to Orange County, IN between 1825 and 1828.

He appeared on the census in 1810 in Shelby County, KY. It lists 2 males (under 10), 2 males (10-16), 1 male (over 45), 2 females (under 10), 1 female (10-16), 2 females (16-26), and 1 female (26-45). He appeared on the census in 1820 in Shelby County, KY. It lists 1 male (10-16), 1 male (16-18), 1 male (18-26), 1 male (over 45), 1 female (19-16), 1 female (16-26), and 1 female (over 45). He appeared on the census in 1830 in Orange County, IN. He appeared on the census in 1840 in Orange County, IN, in the household of Michael and Sarah Shively Mavity.

He died on June 14, 1842 in Syria, Orange County, IN. The True American (June 18, 1842) reported "Died at the residence of Michael Mavity, on June 14, 1842, Mr. Henry Shively, aged 82 years. He emigrated to Kentucky at an early age. He was married in Harrods Station in the year 1783 to Mary Banta, with whom he lived until the day of his death. He has been a member of the Baptist Church for many years, and left his friends enjoying the pleasing hope that his spirit is with Him who gave him." He was buried in Johnson Family Cemetery, Orange County, IN.

He was married to Mary Banta (daughter of Hendrick Banta III and Antie Demarest) on March 15, 1783 in Harrodsburg, Mercer County, KY. Mary Banta was born on March 29, 1767 in Somerset, Somerset County, NJ. The Shively Family Bible lists her birth date as December 1766. She appeared on the census in 1830 in Orange County, IN. She appeared on the census in 1840 in Orange County, IN, in the household of Michael and Sarah Shively Mavity. She died on December 16, 1844 in Orange County, IN. The True American (December 16, 1844) reported "Departed this life on December 16, 1844, Mrs. Mary Shively - age 77 years, 8 months, 17 days. Was born in New Jersey and moved to Kentucky, where she was married to Henry Shively at Harrod's Station, when 15 years old. They had twelve children with eleven still living. She was a member of the Baptist Church for twenty years." She was buried in Johnson Family Cemetery, Orange County, IN. John Heinrich Shively and Mary Banta had the following children:

i. Anna Shively (born on September 3, 1784).
ii. Polly Shively (born on June 17, 1787).
iii. Elizabeth R. Shively (born on May 17, 1790).

LIST FAMILY NOTES by Howard M. List, 1986, viewed in the Dallas Public Library ~~ "Henry Shively and his three brothers left Redstone Old Fort below Pittsburgh on Redstone Creek at what is now Brownsville, PA, to flatboat down the Ohio River to Kentucky. It was at Redstone that they first met Daniel Boone who encouraged them to make the move. They arrived at the falls in the spring of 1780 and located first on Beargrass Creek where they joined the Low Dutch Group under the leadership of Hendrick Banta. Subsequently they moved with the group to Dutch Station close to Boiling Springs quite near Ft. Harrod.

Note: In an old letter written by his grandson, William Fletcher Shively, to a nephew, he states Henry Shively and his brothers were "Dunkers". The German Baptist Brethren were known as "Dunkers" or "Dunkards". They formed congregations across the nation from Pennsylvania to California.

DEATH: The following item appeared in the "True American" published in Paoli, Indiana: "Henry Shively died at the home of his daughter, Sarah Shively Mavity, June 14, 1842. He married Mary Banta at Harrodsburg, Kentucky in 1783. He was 82 years old and was a member of the Baptist Church." He is buried in a small family burying ground, known as the Johnson Cemetery in Section 27, Township 2 North, of Range one East (Paoli Township).

Henry Shively, born January 27, 1759, York Co., PA. and died June 14, 1842. He was married to Mary Banta, and she is also buried here. Per his descendant, Marian Callahan Hill, from whom this picture was contributed: "It was Oct. 15, 1961 when this picture was taken. The woman unveiling the marker is Audra McDonald

Qualkinbush. The woman next to her is her sister, Elsie McDonald Morris, and the girl is Pam Morris. Neither Gary nor Margaret knew any of the other ladies (other Shively researchers). We figure they are D. A. R. ladies from Southern Indiana or near Louisville, where both Audra and Elsie lived. Where they are buried is in the Johnson Cemetery which is in Paoli Township in Orange Co., IN. It's in the southwest 1/4 Section 24, per the Orange Co. website. I'm not certain if you can actually get there without going across a farm. I know that Gary Lane was there within the last 5 years, because he was bemoaning the lack of upkeep. Mahala Shively Pierce and George Ricks Piece are also buried there. Henry and his wife came to Orange County, IN circa 1825-28 per land grants". (Mahala is Henry's daughter from whom Marian descends).

Per "Following a Kentucky Trace" by Carol Flaherty

Jacob Shively and John Shively were in Lord Dunmore's War, an Indian campaign. Their names were on a list of militia paid at Fort Pitt in 1775 and indexed in the Virginia state library. They received 6£ 12 shillings for 27 days in Capt. John Wilson's Company. This per a Historic Register of Virginians in the Revolution 1775-1783 by J. H. Gwathmay, Dietz Press 1938. Gwathmay says, "a list of militia paid off at Fort Pitt in 1775 is indexed at the state library. It was probable that these were colonial troops in Dunmore's War late in receiving their pay ... Practically all of them immediately joined the revolutionary forces.

Philip Shively bought land in Monongalia County on Scott's Mill Run in 1774 according to Virginia land records.

and this:

Henry Shively was listed as in the 4th Continental Line, and George Shively in the 3, 7, 5, and again the 7th Continental lines. Two Jacob Shively's were in the Pennsylvania troop records, later records listed them as privates (Pvt. 5793 and Pvt. 4307).

Michael Shively married third to Hannah Dean around 1778? we have no marriage record for them. They had three more children: (one of the sons directly below named one daughter Hannah Dean Shively.)

i	John Shively
ii	Jacob Shively
iii	Michael Shively

Michael Shively died and Hannah Harden Shively married Richard Dean and had:

i	William Dean
ii	Stephen Dean
iii	Richard Dean

Living in the household of Richard Dean in 1792 were three Shively boys: John, Jacob and
Michael. They were living on 200 acres of land in Green County, Kentucky near Pitman Creek.
Richard Dean had purchased this land from James Knox. In 1803, Richard Dean sold the land to a Wm. Dyer and Thomas Harding ( brother-in-law). Richard and his family moved to Breckenridge County, Kentucky. John Shively also moved to Breckenridge. The sale of the Pitman Creek land became a problem later on as it appears Richard did not get a clear title to the land. We have found Hannah Dean, Abraham, Thomas and Stephen Harding and also one of these Shively boys as members of the Pitman Creek Primitive Baptist Church.

Generation Two

Christian Shively (known as John Christian ~ German naming patterns) was born on October 25, 1746 in York County, PA. He was baptized on June 23, 1747 in St. Matthew's Lutheran Church, York County, PA. He was married to Anna Marie "Mary" Bashore, dtr of Barnard Bashore of Berkeley County, Virginia. Anna Marie Bashore was baptized in 1755. Her age at baptism is unknown, and in those times, it was not unusual to be baptized later when convenient and available. She died after 1794, the Bayshore surname is supposed to be Dutch. (per A Kentucky Trace).

Sometime around 1780, the Shively brothers left the PA/VA area and migrated to Kentucky. They were first at Harrods Station I believe, as Henry, brother to Christian was married there. Although Henry could have come first before the others.

Purportedly, Christian died in 1826 reading a bible at 106 yrs old, which makes the story untrue or his birth must have been in 1720 instead of 1746 (which is doubtful). He does not list all his children in his will, why not? Christian Shivley applied for a land patent in Jefferson Co., KY in 1780, he had 1,000 acres patented on Mann's Lick, and he is the one who donated the land for the town of Shivley, KY.

He has a mill on a creek there that he established about 1810 as well as a tavern, the area was called the Pond Settlement. He also established the Mill Creek Presbyterian church located there and now being used for storage. His will is dated Dec 28, 1826 and probated Feb 6, 1826 in Jefferson Co., KY. [1780 Christian and Jacob Shively settled in this area. They purchased a tract of land at what is now known as Seventh street and Dixie Highway.]

Per a Kentucky Trace:

10 October 1808

In Jefferson County, Christian Shively was granted a license to keep a tavern at his own house and mill, and entered into a bond with Worden Pope his surety. Per Jefferson county Kentucky Records, Vol. 2 by Michael L. Cook and Bettie A. Cummings Cook, by Cook Publications 3318 Wimberg Ave., Evansville, IN 47712.

About this same time, Christian Shively's mill was remembered by a Belle Williams Morgan. The time first written in 1898 was reprinted in The Kentucky Explorer, May, 1996, p. 58-62. Morgan wrote, "We often had great difficulty in getting our grain ground into meal and flour as mills were scarce. There was one on Mill Creek ... owned by Christian Shively, but this could only run in rainy seasons. In cold weather when the water was frozen, and in droughts in summer, there was no water to propel it. So my father procured a pair of small mill stones and had erected a hand mill with which two men by hard work could grind about a bushel of grain in an hour." p. 61

I Walter Shively have searched for this cemetery but it has been destroyed many years ago. I have seen maps that mark were it once was located.

1810 Jefferson Co., KY Census showing a Christian and Philip Shively; on the next page is a Jacob Shively

1820 Jefferson Co., KY Census, Henry and Philip Shively

Christian Shivley and Mary Bashore had the following ten children:

i	Margaret Shivley, born 1774? in PA? married David French in 1790... Notes: Margaret is mentioned in her father's will, but on her marriage certificate, it says she is a daughter of Jacob Shivley. We believe her father's will, citing her as Margaret French, wife of David French is to be believed. Nicholas Hospital was built on the Shively land. His dau., Margaret (Peggy) Shively French, was my g.g.g. grandmother. The 10/3/1866 edition of the Owensboro Monitor carried a story about her being 113 years old. This story referred to her father as Col. Shively of Jefferson Co.
ii	Catherine Shivley, born 1776?, married David Crips, November 1, 1792, had son Philip Crips who his grandfather, Christian, mentions in his will.
iii	Philip Shivley, born 1778?, married first to Susannah Lewis, April 1800, Book 1, page 36, Jefferson Co., KY. Philip married second to Elizabeth Bartlett, and he married third to Phebe Logan, February 1815, Book 1, page 79, Jefferson Co., KY. Our line, more below.
iv	Sarah Shivley, born 1780, died 1866, married John Jones (Tanner) September 1808, Book 1, page 62, Bondsman, Philip Shivley, her brother. There is a Susan who is supposed to be a daughter of Christian Shively buried in the Miller Cemetery, she married Roland Lee as his second wife. Could this be Sarah, who first married a Jones? and she married Roland after her husband died? This is all speculation at this point and more research needs to be done.
v	Elizabeth Shivley, born 1782? married Francis Sanders, September 1799, Book 1, Page 34
vi	Mary Shivley, born 1784?, married Daniel Rudy, September 17, 1803, Book 1, Page 45. Possibly was named Mary "Christina" ~ a name from her paternal grandmother.
vii	William Shivley, born April 27, 1786, d. May 5, 1866, married Nancy Erickson, April 26, 1812. His children were Benjamin F., John H., Kitty Ann, Sarah Jane and Norborne. William is buried in what is known as the Smoot Family Cemetery off of Lower Hunters Trace. He is actually buried between two houses on Mariam I believe the street name is. The last time that I was there children were using is grave stone as a kick stone for a swing set. He fought in the War of 1812. The story about Redstone has been around for sometime—Lottie McDowell stated that there was a gravestone in Shively, KY that refer to that town. This grave stone was not in the Shively Family graveyard—she knew the location and I searched for it but was told that it had been destroyed years ago by developers.
viii	John Shivley, born June 24, 1800, died March 9, 1857, married Jane N. Coots.
ix	Henry Shivley, born 1794, married Elizabeth Smooth, August 1817, Book 1, page 94 - married second to Maria Hambleton, widow of James Parker, Feb 1829, Book 2, Page 30. Henry died March 26, 1847.

Generation Three
Location of Fort Burd

Philip Shivley was born around 1778, probably in PA or VA. He was probably a very young boy when his father and uncles came to Kentucky circa 1780. Philip died sometime before his daughter Mary Crane Shively (my line) was married in 1823 to her first husband. The area they lived before KY was VA when they were there but was later part of PA. There is some confusion about Brownsville and Red Stone, the area from whence they came. From some documents I obtained at the Filson this past summer, comes this:

"Brownsville Pennsylvania first appears in history by the construction of Fort Burd in October 1759. This fort became known as Redstone Old Fort from it's locations. It is just above Uniontown on Redstone Creek, now Fayette County, Pennsylvania, but it was part of Virginia when the Shively's lived there. The town of Brownsville was laid out in 1785, several years after we find the Shively brothers in Kentucky."

Philip was married three times. First to Susannah Lewis in Jefferson Co., KY April 10, 1800, Book 1, page 36 . I currently do not know anything about Susannah's ancestry. William Lewis is listed as the bondsman on her marriage certificate, so this is probably her father, brother or uncle. There is also a William Lewis living next to Christian Shively in one of the early census and I am sure it's some relation to Susannah, more than likely her father. I haven't spent a great deal of time on her as she isn't the one from whom we descend.

Philip married second to Elizabeth Bartlett, October 31, 1804 in Jefferson Co., KY. It is through her children we descend. Elizabeth died around 1814, according to the bible records.

Philip Shivley married third to Phebe Logan, February 1815, Book 1, page 79.

On left is the 1810 Jefferson Co., KY census, showing Philip and Elizabeth, they have a son under five, that would be John L. Shivley, and two young girls, our Mary and her sister, Susan.

There is a will in Jefferson Co., KY where a William Lewis and Robert Miller are dividing up a James Lewis' estate & slaves and assigning guardians for the children. I believe this is some relation to Susannah Philip's first wife.

In the 1820 census, (below) but he should have 2 dtrs listed and 1 son, and it's reversed, so I wonder if its a census taker's mistake. I would guess Philip's death between 1820 where he is found in the last census and 1823 when his daughter Mary marries and he is listed as deceased. Mary's middle initial is 'C' and is for "Crane", and ancestor's surname from whom she descends on her mother's side (Elizabeth Bartlett).

Philip is listed as follows in the 1820 Census:
two males to ten (born 1800-1810) (one is John L., who is the other?)
one male, 26-45 (Philip, probably in his early forties)

one female, 26 to 45 (Phoebe? his second wife?, born around same time as Philip)
one female, 10 to 16 (born between 1804-1810, (Mary C.)

From: FOLLOWING A KENTUCKY TRACE C 1999 by Carol Flaherty

On p 153 of book above is this Deed: "In 1811, deed completed 10 Jan 1812, Philip Shively and his wife Elizabeth sold 37 acres in the Pond settlement Jefferson Co.; KY to John Hollis for $187.50."

So Philip was with Elizabeth Bartlett in 1812; so she must have died between 1812 and 1815 when Philip married third to Phoebe Logan.

Children of Philip Shivley and Elizabeth Bartlett, daughter of John Bartlett and Susanna Laubinger. Daughter of George Laubinger and Barbara Painter/Bender.

Mary Crane Shivley, born 1804-07, named for Philip's mother and his grandmother, as I am guessing the "C" as her middle initial is for Crane. Her mother's family had the Crane's in it. This is our line, more below. Child of Elizabeth Bartlett. I don't think Philip and Susannah Lewis had any children together, or if they did, they could have died in child birth.

Susan G. Shivley, (my husband descends from her) born 1809, she married George Heafer. (what does the G. stand for in Susan's name??) an old paper found in an ancestor's home guessed 'Gardner', but I don't know why.

From the History of the Ohio Falls Counties, pg. 59

Mrs. Susan G. Heafer is the widow of Mr. George W. Heafer, who was born in Abottstown, Pennsylvania, in 1791. In 1812 he emigrated to Kentucky, stopping at Louisville, where he lived until 1829. In 1823 he removed to his farm near Newburg post-office, where he lived until the time of his death, which occurred in July, 1877. He was married in 1827 to Miss Susan G. Shiveley, a daughter of one of Jefferson county's earliest settlers - Philip Shiveley. They had two children, one son and one daughter. The son, George R. C. Heafer, was married to Miss Julia Jones, of Jefferson county. Both he and his wife are dead, leaving a family of three children. The daughter is Mrs. Joseph Hite, of the same county, and has nine children. Mrs. Heafer is now in her seventy-third years and still lives on the old homestead.

Notes For Susan G. Shively

I believe this is the couple above listed in the 1850 census, the only discrepancy is the bio above states that George Heafer was born in PA and the census below indicates Maryland as place of birth. I wouldn't doubt a mistake in either or both, or the county/state lines simply changed which was common. I am certain this is Susan and her husband of the bio above.

John L. Shivley, born 1811 - John married Sarah Jordan who was born in 1813 in South Carolina. This family moved over to Daviess County, KY, one or two counties over from Jefferson. A bio from Kentucky - A History of the state by W. H. Perrin edition 1885 from the Ohio County Entrees lists this additional information. That there were 9 children born to John and Sarah, with 7 surviving. They are: James H. Shivley, William Henry Shively, born 1837 of whom more below, Mrs. S. E. Roach, Mrs. M. E. A. Bowman, Mrs. George N. Bowman, Sarah L. (wife of Samuel Norris) and George Shively.

William Henry Shively, born Daviess County, 1837, married first Susan Fuqua in 1860. Four Children: Capitola Shively, Laura Frances Shively, John William Shively and James Louis Shively. William married second to Sarah Ellen Burks, widow of John Wesley Burks, she was the dtr of David and Elizabeth Mosely Waterfield. They had one child, George Everett Shively. Photo on left is of William Henry Shively, his second wife, Sarah Ellen Burks and their son George Everett and his wife. A copy of this photo was graciously provided to me by Shelda Payne of Kentucky who descends from William and Sarah.

William Henry Shively enlisted in the Federal Army, was captain of Company A - 12th Kentucky Calvary, served three yeas mostly in Sherman's army. Taken prisoner in 1864 near the Salt Works in Virginia. He was a Baptist & Republican. His Grandfather, Philip Shivley was a Colonel in the War of 1812 and had command of a regiment at New Orleans, the great grandfather, Christian Shively, was a native of Pennsylvania and removed to Kentucky at an early date. He died while reading the bible at 106. (we have evidence he did not live to 106).

The Shively family cemetery was begun when Henry Shively (son of Christian) and his son, also named Christian, died either on the same day or one day part. They were buried in the garden of the family's home. Their headstones indicate that Christian died on March 25, 1847 and Henry on March 26. One source says they died on the same day. Perhaps they both died during the night, one before midnight and the other after midnight. The Shively family cemetery was originally located on Mans Lick Rd. When Nichols Hospital (which was closed in 1952 when the present Veterans Hospital was opened) was built on that site, at Conn and Mans Lick, in 1942, those graves which could be located were re-interred in the family cemetery. There is a large marker in the family cemetery that says Christian Shively, his wife and 5 generations of his family are buried there. There is no separate marker for the first Christian Shively unless it is one of the old ones that are no longer readable. The oldest headstone with a readable date is that of Polly Shivley (I don't know why the name was spelled differently), who died June 22, 1816, at the age of one year and 6 months.

Generation Four

Mary Crane Shivley was born between 1804-1807 in Jefferson Co., KY. A pictiure has come down a cousin's family of her, and is listed as 'Mary Crane Shivley, circa 1850. She would be in later thirties. She first married George W. Moore on July 12, 1823, she was listed as a daughter of Philip and he was deceased at the time of this marriage and her guardian was a William Shivley, who I am sure was her father's brother, her uncle. I do not believe Mary and George had any children, but I am not certain about this. George died after they were married for about five years.

Mary married second to Samuel Albert, (born 1781, probably in PA), in Jefferson Co., KY in 1828. She was again listed as the daughter of Philip Shivley, deceased. No guardian was listed as she was a grown woman and widow at this point.

After Mary and Samuel had five children, Samuel died February 14, 1847, family bible records. Mary married third to Stephen Ross. They are found in later census records of Jefferson Co., KY

Early Kentucky Marriage Records:

Moore, George W. & Shively, Mary C. 12 Jul 1823 Kentucky ~ Jefferson County
Albert, Samuel & Lawes, Polly 30 Aug 1813 Kentucky ~ Jefferson County
Albert, Samuel; bd. George Heafer; wt. Edm. Pendleton Pope, D.C.
Moore, Mary C.; wid of George W. Moore, Dec. - Bond 5-28-1828

Lewis, Susannah Shively, Philip 10 Apr 1800 Kentucky, Jefferson County
Bartlett, Elizabeth Shively, Philip 31 Oct 1804 Kentucky, Jefferson County

Samuel Albert and Mary Crane Shively had the following children:

i	George P. Albert, January 18, 1830 (he remained in Louisville, does the P stand for Phillip, Mary's father? I am guessing so)
ii	Susan Elizabeth Albert, born June 7, 1832
iii	Julia Albert, born January 25, 1835
iv	Laura Virginia Albert born October 11, 1838 (our line, she marries Patrick Pendergrast)
v	John Samuel Albert, born March 15, 1842

So Mary Crane Shively was married three times, George Moore, for five years, Samuel Albert 19 yrs, and Stephen Ross 5? yrs. Most, if not all, of her children, I believe, were by Samuel Albert. Stephen Ross was her third husband after Samuel Albert died February 14, 1847 per Susan Pendergrast's bible records. I haven't found a marriage record for Mary Crane Shivley and Stephen Ross yet. The are married and in the 1860 census, and she is gone by the 1870 and Stephen Ross is remarried to another woman.

On left is the 1860 Oldham Co., KY Census showing Mary C. Shively with her third husband, Stephen Ross and two of her children, Julia and John Samuel Albert. In the 1870 census for Oldham Co., KY, Brownsboro twp. there is a Stephen Ross listed living with a Sarah A. Ross, age 44, he is 69. I think this is probably Mary C. Shively's third husband who remarried after she apparently died between the 1860-70 Census.

From here see the Albert page and see the Shivley Cemetery I visited in June of 2005 where the founding fathers of Shivley are buried and are my ancestors.
