This site was created by Larry Shively who is researching the history of the Shively families. The goal is to have a site where all Shively researchers can share and ask questions in regards to their Shively lines. The largest majority of the Shively family records are located in Pennsylvania, Ohio and Indiana. There are early records of Shively's also in Virginia and Kentucky. There are not many established Shively lineages back to Europe. There are documented lineages to Switzerland and Germany. Through the sharing of information from all of our research it is desired that all can learn about our Shively families.

John B. Shively, Son Of William Thomas Shively And Theresa Hayden

John B. Shively, son of William Thomas Shively and Theresa Hayden,  was born 1-May-1865 in Kentucky and died 2-February-1904 in Texas.  Finding genealogy information is difficult for John because he died at age 39.

Located in the Texas marriage records it is found that J. B. Shively married W. C. Fullington on 29-April-1896 in Grayson County, Texas.   Located in The Dallas Morning News, Saturday, May 2, 1896, Page 3, Column 4 is the following entry:
Shively-Fullington -- Denison, Tex., April 30--John B. Shively of Jonesboro, Ark., was married to Miss Clyde Fullington at 8:30 last night.

Additional information on John B. Shively is found in the biography of his father, William Shively, in The History of Pottawattamie County, Iowa From The Earliest Times To 1907, S. J. Clarke Publishing Co., Chicago, IL, 1907:

Shively, born in Taylor county, Kentucky, May 1, 1865, acquired a public school education and married Clyde Fullington at Denison, Texas.  He died February 2, 1904, and his wife in 1905, leaving two children, Gladys and Brent.  John B. Shively in his active business career was a conductor and he belonged to the Ancient Order of United Workmen and Brotherhood of Railway Trainmen, while his wife was connected with the auxiliary of the latter order.

A newspaper obituary was found for John B. Shively.  The article has the middle initial incorrect and this obituary lists him as John C Shively.  Located in The San Antonio Daily Express, Wednesday Morning, February 22, 1905, Page 5, Column 2 is:

  1. Larry, when I went to put a flag on Capt William Thomas Shively grave. I noticed a Brent Shively headstone. I might have to go back and see if this is John B. Shively son.
