According to oral family history, James Elliot Shipler (1847-1922), son of James Parker Shipler (born abt. 1087), was raised by a Samuel Carr in either Indiana or Ohio. There is some confirmation of this by one of James Elliott's children being named Samuel Carr Shipler.
If anyone can shed some light on this or infromation on Samuel Carr and his family would be most helpful. Wolud like to find out what happened to Parker's wife and how James Elliott came to be raised by Samuel Carr.
Also any information about Parker or Samuel Carr's family. I suspect that one of Samuel Carr's daughters was Parker's wife, but who knows?
Please email me with any information. James Elliot Shipler is my Great grandfather and I'm at a 'brick wall' in research.
