Looking for information on James Parker Shipler born about 1807.
Do not know his wife's name or date of marriage. He was living in Ohio in 1860 and joined an Ohio infantry unit in the Union Army as a private at age 54 in 1861. Do not know what unit.
His son, James Elliott Shipler,who was raised by a Samuel Carr (information unknown)also joined an Ohio Infantry unit in 1864 at age 18.James Elliott is my Great grandfather. I have information on his wife and children, but can not prove connection to Parker and can not get the Shipler line any further back.
If anyone can help please give me an email. I'm at a 'brick wall'.
