Notes |
- (Research):Col Robert B. Shackelford, of Cismont, Virginia, published his book--"The Shackelford Family", in 1940. In his examination of the records he went to great lengths to discover the origin of the family in America, and in his book he quotes letters from a Mr Anthony R. Wagner, of London, who made the search for the name over there. And among the many letters, wills, deeds and other records, Mr Wagner enclosed the Will of John Shackelford, a butcher of New Alresford. Will dated March 26, and proved in Bishop's Court, Winchester, March 30, 1647. And in this Will he mentioned his cousin Richard Shackelford and five children of his cousin John Shackelford, deceased. And the five children of the deceased John, were as follows:
(1) John Shackelford, baptized Old Alresford, December 23, 1647.
(2) Roger Shackelford, baptized Old Alresford, April 23, 1629.
(3) Charles Shackelford, baptized Old Alresford, January 25, 1630.
(4) Christopher Shackelford-baptized Old Alresford March 10, 1632.
(5) Ingram Shackelford-baptized Old Alresford, October 12, 1636.
Of the eighteen wills and documents sent to Col Shackelford by Mr Wagner, the name of Roger appeared only one time--that mentioned in the Will of John the butcher, of New Alresford.
