I've been trying to track down Artress R Shadoway. It seems like most information in others trees are just copies of copies, i.e. born around 1836 and died around 1889.

Unfortunately for me, I'm a direct descendant but don't seem to know any more then anyone else. I've been picking my grandmother's brain the past couple of days and have been able to attach some information. However, I still don't have too much.

Everyone has said he was a doctor, but there is no one we know of who has seen a medical license for him. There's been stories that he may have changed his name at some point in his youth. That could explain why no one can find him on a census.

Does anyone out there have any specific information about his birth or death? Anyone have any light they can shed on this man?
