The state of Ohio was admitted to the Union in 1803. Many of our Shively families can be found at one time or another in this state. On the 1820 Ohio census records there are at least twenty-one Shively families listed. This article is a guide to help those doing research on the Shively families in early Ohio. Information from the “Descendants of Christian Shively of Warwick Twp., Lancaster Co. and Later York Twp., York Co, Penna.”, 1941, by Arthur G. Black and “Schaublin (Shively) Families from the District of Waldenburg, Baselland, Switzerland”, 1978, by George W. Andrews was used to help determine the lineages. Thank you to Alice Shively Freed and Imogene Sawvell Davis who also gave support to this project.
From the Arthur G. Black information we know the Shively families in Columbiana County were descendants of Christian Scheibly (Shively) baptized 25-Dec-1718 in the village of Oberdorf, District of Waldenburg, Canton of Baselland, Switerzland and Esther Naffin (Naff or Neff). Christian died ca. 1773 in York County, PA. Their son John Shively born 24-Jul-1748 married Eve. John was never heard from again after an Indian raid in 1781. Three sons of John and Eve are found in Columbiana County, OH in 1820. Christian Shively and Conrod (Conrad) Shively are listed in Middleton Township and it is believed that the third son is the John Shively listed in Fairfield Township. A grandson of Christian Shively and Esther is listed in Knox Township. Daniel Shively in Knox Township is the son of Christian Shively and Catherine Sophia Smith. Daniel married first Mary Boyer and second Sally Metz. The lineage of Jacob Shiveley in Fairfield Township and John Shiveley in Middletown Township could not be established. If you have information from your research regarding these families, and would be willing to share, the information could be included in a future issue of the newsletter or blog.
