James Shewmaker and Harriett Malinda Walker were both born in KY according to 1840 IN census. By this time they had 3 sons and 2 daughters.
James b. abt. 1809 and Malinda b. abt. 1810. It has been family legend from my family and from a "New Found Cousin" that Harriett Malinda was a full blood Indian.
I have not been able to trace James back to KY without knowing at least the county. At least 2 children were born in KY.
On the census, his name is spelled Shoemaker but on the tombstone it is spelled Shewmaker and grandaughter spelled maiden name as Shewmaker.
Any one that might have a clue as to where in KY this family might be found please contact me. Thank you. Donna
