Note on Find a Grave:
Marriage:
Levi Shook
November 4, 1828
Flat Creek, Bedford County, Tennessee, USA
Note: When I made the tombstone rubbing to enable one to read the inscription on the stone, I was in contact with a descendant living in California, who gave her year of birth as possibly 1809. Although the inscription on her stone shows a birth date of 4 August 1819, I believe this to be incorrect as verified by the descendant. (A closer look at the rubbing indicates the year of birth could have been 1815 or 1813.) Had she been born in 1819, she would have only been 9 years of age when she married and 10 years of age when her first child was born.
Children:
Phinetta Jane Shook
William Kennedy Shook
Sarah Shook
Elizabeth A. Shook
Levi Shook was married first to Elizabeth Kennedy and second to Elizabeth Ann Gammill. Elizabeth Ann was born August 4, 1819 in Tennessee. Southwest Missouri Newspaper Abstracts, Vol., 10, Marionville, Missouri Free Press, Sept. 7, 1894-Dec. 14, 1900, p. 18 lists for Feb. 25, 1897:
"Died on 19th, Mrs. Ann Shook, sister of Mr. S. M. Gammill, at home of her son-in-law, Lige Allen, 3 1/2 miles south of Mt. Vernon. Heart disease, age 77."This isdentifies Elizabeth Ann Shook of Lawrence County, Missouri and widow of Levi Shook as having been a Gammill. The 1880 census of Lawrence County Missouri, Spring River Township, sh. 526B, family 174 shows Elizabeth Shook, age 60 living with Elijah S. Allen and wife, Elizabeth Ann and identifies her as the mother-in-law of Elijah, who is head of the household. The last known child of Levi Shook and his first wife, Elizabeth Kennedy, was Sarah Shook, born 1836. Since Levi remarried in 1844, Elizabeth Kennedy Shook evidently died sometime between 1836 and 1844.Note: The quote above from Southwest Missouri Newspaper Abstracts gives the death date of Elizabeth Ann (Gammill) Shook as Feb. 19, 1897; however, the tombstone inscription shows Feb. 20, 1897 instead. (See tombstone rubbing I just posted which shows birth and death dates for Elizabeth Ann Shook.)
