Well, in 1870, James Shockley (age 16) and Solomon Shockley (18) are in the same household as James, Sarah H, Clarissa, Christiana M. Lettila, Leonidas, and Lucetta Rounds in West Jersey Twp, Stark County (near Toulon PO). Presumably that means they're orphans.
James' probably father was John R. Rownd, and John's most likely parents were Jesse James Rownd and Tabitha Holloway. I wonder if your Tabitha Shockley was a sister to John R. Rownd? There's some Maryland marriage records out there someplace that might shed light on this question. If so, that would make James Rounds and James and Solomon Shockley cousins.
Of course, a James Round did marry Sarah Shockley 06/27/1845 in Knox County, IL, which makes them brothers-in-law....Would James have married his first cousin?
