Jacob Shively (Scheiffele) And Mary Swindler In Jefferson County, KY

A Shively researcher recently ask for information on Jacob Shively who was found in the Kentucky records in the late 1790s.  The research on Jacob Shively has unanswered questions. Any additional information on Jacob Shively who was in the very early records of Jefferson County, KY would be appreciated.  

John Jacob Scheiffele (Shively) was born on 9-Jul-1751 and baptized on 17-May-1752 at Christ Evangelical Lutheran Church in York, PA.  According to the record he was a son of John Michael Scheiffle. From the research of others it has been found that Jacob's name apears in the various records until 1826. Jacob Shively was married to Mary Swindler on 23-Dec-1800 in Jefferson County, KY. (Recorded in Jefferson County, KY Marriage Book 1, Page 38).

Mary Shively is listed on the 1830 Jefferson County, KY census (Page 167, Line 1) as being 70 to 80 years of age with 1 male age 20 to 30 and 1 female age 20 to 30.  Who were the male and female listed with Mary on this 1830 census.  

From research done by Gary Lane he wrote "it looks like Jacob Shively was clearly the first one of the Shivelys to arrive in Kentucky, in 1780. He pretty clearly was the prime mover with respect to obtaining land, getting land grants for himself and for Christian Shively and later was involved in the acquiring of Henry Shively's farm in Shelby (now Spencer) County.  The fact that Jacob Shively is listed in Jefferson County, then Nelson, then Hardin may simply be an artifact of the times the counties formed and he could have been living in the same place all the time."

"Jacob Shively received a grant of 361 acres from Virginia on the Rolling Fork of Salt River. This grant was confirmed and reissued by the state of Kentucky on 30-Sep-1797. Jacob's land by 1797 lay in Harding County on Clear Creek (a tributary of Rolling Fork). Jacob first appears in court records on 5-Jun-1780 when he was listed as a voter in Jefferson County."

Extracted from Kentucky Grants, Book 8, Pages 325-326 "James Garrard esq Governor of Commonwealth of Kentucky to all whom these presents shall come...Greetings  Know ye that by virtue and in consideration of a Land Office Treasury Warrant No 4233 there is granted unto Jacob Shively a certain tract or parcel of land containing three hundred and sixty one acres by survey bearing date thirtieth day of September one thousand seven hundred and ninety seven and being in Harding County on Clear Creek a branch of the Rolling Fork bounded as followeth......

A deed found in Jefferson County, KY Deed Book 6, Page 377 mentions the sale of the above 361 acres from Jacob Shively and his wife, Mary, to Jesse Swindler. The deed states this indenture made this seventh day of March one thousand eight hundred and three. From the deed "also one other tract or parcel of land situated in Hardin County and State aforesaid on Clear Creek a branch of the Rolling Fork and on the Hunters Path and southside of the big clay lick containing three hundred and sixty acres be the same more or less entered surveyed and patented to the said Jacob Shively......

From the Shively history it is believed that Christian Shively, Jacob Shively and Henry Shively in early Jefferson County and Shelby County, KY were kin to Phillip Shively who remained in Monongalia County, now WVA). There are deeds in Jefferson County, KY that indicate Jacob Shively clearly knew Phillip Shively in "Monongahelia" County, VA (now WVA).  From Jefferson County, KY Deed Book 8, Page 717 is a deed "This indenture made this seventh day of August one thousand eight hundred and ten between Jacob Shively and Polly his wife of the County of Jefferson and State of Kentucky of the one part and Michael Shively, son of Philip Shively of Monongahelia County and State of Virginia ......

George Smoot, aged 78, a farmer, was seriously injured at 9 o'clock last Wednesday night when the stairway of his residence in Pleasure Ridge Park gave way, carrying Smoot, who was standing on the landing at the time, with it. Smoot fell fourteen feet and was rendered unconscious by the fall.

Mrs. Saltmarsh has been suffering from consumption, and her sister came to visit her. A week ago the latter was attacked by acute diarrhea, which resulted in death last night. Night before last Mrs. Shively took too heavy an injection of laudanum, but her physician, Dr. Ray, thinks it had nothing to do with her death, as the injection was not heavy enough to make her lose consciousness.

A will was probated in Jefferson County, KY for Parmelia Williamson Shively's sister, Ellen D. Williamson Saltmarsh.  The following was extracted from The Courier Journal, Louisville, Kentucky, Tuesday, August 25, 1885, Page 8, Column 2:

Mollie Allene Shively Lewis, Daughter Of Lloyd Shively And Mattie Hubbard, From Taylor County, KY To Jefferson County, KY

John Q. Shively Death Certificate

A descendant of Mollie Allene Shively requested the help of the Shively researchers to see if additional information could be found. Mollie Allene Shively was born 1-Jan-1921 in Taylor County, KY and died 8-Dec-1977 in Jefferson County, KY. Mollie Shively was the daughter of Lloyd Shively and Mattie Hubbard. Lloyd Shively was born 16-Sep-1891 in Taylor County, KY and died 26-Dec-1930 in Taylor County, KY. He was buried in Miller Cemetery. Lloyd Shively was the son of John Q. Shively and Mollie Carlile. John Q. Shively was born ca. 1850 and died 31-Jul-1914 in Taylor County, KY. He was buried in Miller Cemetery. The death certificate for John Q. Shively lists that his parents were unknown.  This is a problem many researchers working on African American genealogies encounter. An attempt to find further information on the parents of John Q. Shively, who was most likely born in slavery, was done and the following information might be used as a guide for further research.

In the early history of Green and Taylor County, KY it is known that there were 3 Caucasian Shively males who established families in the area.  The men were Jacob Shively, John Shively and Michael Shively.  Some of the descendants of these men did own land which was worked by slaves.  Jacob Shively married Sophia Davis. They had a son, John W. Shively who was married on 24-Aug-1843 in Green County, KY to Mary Jane Roach.  Mary Jane Shively was the daughter of Price Roach.  Price Roach is listed on the 1850 District No. 2, Green County, KY slave schedule with 25 slaves. His daughter, Mary Jane Roach Shively, died ca. 1846, but she and John W. Shively did have a son born who was Price R. Shively and daughter Sally W Shively.

Barbara Wright compiled and published many of the Green County, KY records. Located in her Abstracts Of Circuit Court Cases, Volume 17 is located additional information regarding the Price and Shively history.  From Circuit Case #188, 21-Nov-1865, John W. Shively, Guardian for Price R. Shively and G. W. Buchanan vs. Petition to sell land: John W. Shively as guardian for his son, Price R. Shively an infant under 21 years and George W. Buchanan and his wife, Sally W. Buchanan (late Sally W. Shively) state that Price Roach departed this life in Green County, Kentucky leaving as his only heirs at law John J. Roach, Thomas G. Roach and the children of Mary Shively, deceased (late Mary Roach) to wit: Price R. Shively and Sally W. Shively, now Sally W. Buchanan. The case continues to describe the land owned.

From the Report of Comm 22-Nov-1865:

W. B. Carlile, F. P. Gaines and J. J. Roach, Comm appointed by the court report under oath that the following is a correct report of the real and personal estate of the infant Price R. Shively, to wit:

One slave named Rhoda valued at $25.00

One slave named Betty valued at $25.00

One slave named John valued at $25.00

One slave named Sally valued at $25.00

And one equal undivided half of 266 1/2 acres of land in Green County on Green River valued at ____ and that the yearly profits of the estate is nothing.  That the interest of the infant does require the sale of the undivided half of the tract of 266 1/2 acres of land upon the terms set out in the petition. 

Rhoda Shively is located on the 1870 Precinct No. 1 Green County, KY census. She is listed  in the household of Cezar Griffin age 55, Black.  Listed is Rhoda Shively age 50 Black, John Shively age 21 Black works on farm and Sallie age 14 Black.  John Shively is listed as age 21 which would mean he was born about 1850 which matches the information on the death certificate for John Q. Shively.  The relationship between Rhoda Shively and John Shively has not been proven and will require further research.

Shot Down

Dr. W. N. Alsop Victim Of Three Assasins

Enticed From His Home

Filled Full Of Bullets And Buckshot In A Woods

Sequel To An Old Quarrel

Body Brought To Louisville From Cleveland, Miss., Where The Tragedy Happened

Formerly Practiced Here

Dr. W. N. Alsop, who for many years practiced medicine in Louisville, was most foully murdered at Cleveland, Miss., Wednesday morning about 11 o'clock.  The circumstances surrounding the killing are remarkable for the cold-blooded way in which the victim was shot down.

The body of Dr. Alsop was brought to Louisville last night, arriving here at 10:25 over the Illinois Central.  The widow and a son accompanied the body.

Dr. Alsop had for the past ten years been practicing his profession at Shaws, a small Mississippi town. Wednesday morning he received a telegram from Cleveland, a small town fifteen miles distant from Shaws, summoning him to that town.  The telegram said that the case was an urgent one, and requested him to come as quickly as possible.  When he arrived at Cleveland he was met by an unknown man, who drove him to the outskirts of the town.  There they were joined by two other men, who drew their revolvers and calmly told the doctor that they intended to kill him.  Dr. Alsop pleaded with them and tried in every way possible to pacify them.

They were determined, however, that he should die and would not listen to his entreaties. Dr. Alsop told them that he was unarmed and could not fight them and that it would be a plain case of murder if they killed him.  They then told him that he would be given an opportunity to fight for this life.  They gave him permission to go and arm himself upon his solemn promise to return.  When he returned, all three opened fire upon him.  One of them was armed with a shot gun and their victim fell at the first volley.  The men escaped and the body of the dead man was found a few minutes later by a passer-by, who was attracted by the shooting.  Life was already extinct and an examination showed that twenty-two buckshot had entered the dead man's right side.  Three pistol balls also struck him, two in the right side and one in the neck.

One of the men named Williams was afterwards captured and after a cross-examination confessed.  He refused, however, to tell who the other two men were. The body of Dr. Alsop was removed to Shaw's and when his former fellow-townsmen heard of the cowardly assassination public opinion ran high, and it was plain that the indignant citizens would organize a posse and lynch the guilty parties if caught.

The cause of the shooting is said to date back several years.  Some years ago, Dr. Alsop was conversing with an old man who conducted a grocery store near Shaws. The son of a rich old planter with two companions came to the store, and after a quarrel with the old man assaulted him.  Dr. Alsop interfered and administered a severe chastising to the rich young planter.  The latter left the store swearing vengeance.  Early next morning, he called on the doctor and informed him that one of the two "would eat breakfast in he_ _".

At this, both drew their revolvers and opened fire.  The shot fired by the doctor struck his antagonist and killed him instantly.  At the trial which followed, Dr. Alsop was dismissed.  The young man's father said that he would yet be avenged.

The deceased formerly practiced medicine in Louisville and had ann office at Fifth and Walnut streets.  About ten years ago he left Louisville, going to Shaws, Miss., where he purchased a plantation.  He developed into quite a hunter, and many of his Louisville friends visited him yearly to enjoy the hunting about Shaws.  He was a son-in-law of W. H. Shively, who formerly had a position in the County Sheriff's office.

The body was brought to Louisville last night and the funeral will take place this morning from Cralle's undertaking establishment.  The burial will be in Shively's private burying ground at Mill Creek.

In A Duel

Dr. Alsop Was Killed After A Quarrel

Slain By Harry Williams

Latter Used Shotgun While Alsop Had A Pistol

The Story In Detail

Harry Williams, the slayer of Dr. W. N. Alsop, was given a preliminary hearing at Cleveland, Miss., the scene of the killing, last week.  The story which was brought out at the trial differed in several ways from that heretofore published.

The testimony showed that Dr. Alsop was killed by Harry Williams, and not by three or four unknown men, who decoyed their victim to Cleveland.

The following account of the murder is taken from the Cleveland, Miss., Enterprise:

"A preliminary hearing is in progress here for the killing last Wednesday afternoon of Dr. W. N. Alsop, a prominent citizen of Shaw, by Harry Williams, of this place.

"The details leading up to the tragedy, insofar as we have been able to discover them, place the origin of the trouble some months back, and constitute certain criticisms and reflections upon Harry Williams, of this place, made by Dr. Alsop, together with the threat to kill him.  These remarks were made in the presence of a friend of Mr. Williams, who repeated them to  him.  Later, however, they were denied by Dr. Alsop, and the three men met in the City Drug Store here last Wednesday, when an understanding was sought.

"Failing to satisfactory adjust the trouble, Mr. Williams demanded of him to draw his gun, and they would settle it then and there.  Dr. Alsop stated that he was unarmed; whereupon he was told to go and get a weapon.  He went away, saying that he would do so and return.

"About an hour later he came down Main street with Hon. Oscar McGuire, of Rosedale.  At the corner of McCorkle street, they turned off to the railroad track and walked toward the station.  As they came from behind a flat car, which was standing in the yards, Dr. Alsop was seen to have a pistol in his hand.

"Mr. Williams, who was standing in the door of his butcher shop, stepped out upon the sidewalk and called to Mr. McGuire to get away, as he did not wish him to be harmed.  Mr. McGuire immediately ran on down the track, and the two shots rang out at about the same time.  There is no doubt but that Dr. Alsop was fatally wounded by the first shot, as he was seen to stagger forward a few steps and sink to a stooping position, with his pistol laid across one arm, in the attitude of taking deliberate aim.  It is the opinion of those who saw him, however, that he did not discharge his weapon.  He raised to his feet, reeled around, and fell.  Williams used a shotgun loaded with buckshot, and Alsop had a 45-caliber Colt's pistol.

"At some time during the fray Hon. Oscar McGuire was struck twice, once in the left elbow and a glancing shot on the forehead.  Just when and how he received them is not known to anyone save him.  Neither is supposed to e of a dangerous character.

"Mr. Alsop was picked up in an unconscious condition and carried into the station. Dr. L. B. Sparkman made an examination of him, but before he had completed same he died."

Still Another Account

Eye Witness Tells Of The Killing Of Dr. Alsop -- No Chance

To Defend Himself

There are so many conflicting stories concerning the murder of Dr. Alsop that it is almost impossible to distinguish between the true and false.  The last and one which is believed to be the true account of the murder was published last week in the Bolivar County (Arkansas) Democrat.  The article is headed "A Foul Assassination," and was written by O. G. McGuire, who was with Dr. Alsop when he was killed.

The article says that Dr. Alsop, who lived at Shaw, went to Cleveland to assist McGuire in obtaining the candidacy for State Senator.  He and Harry Williams had a quarrel shortly after the arrival of the doctor, and the latter had fears for his life.  A short time after this Dr. Alsop and McGuire passed a grocery in which Williams and several of his friends were sitting.  They and proceeded only a short distance when several shots were fired, and Dr. Alsop fell, mortally wounded.  He lived only a short time.  His assassins kept on firing after he had fallen, and McGuire was struck by several shots.  There were several in the party who fired on Dr. Alsop, and McGuire says they were armed with revolvers, shotguns and rifles.

Harry R. Shively And Wife, Jennie Fertig, Of Jefferson County, Kentucky

The following newspaper article was located in the Fort Worth Star Telegram, Friday, June 17, 1910, Page 7, Column 6:

Signature On Will Reveals Secret Of Girl's Elopement

By Associated Press. Louisville. June 17.--Fate conspired against pretty Jennie Fertig and willed that the secret of her elopement two days before last Christmas should be wrung from her yesterday afternoon.  Miss Fertig is a stenographer in the office of an attorney here and she was called on to sign a will as a witness.   Fearing that she might invalidate the will by signing her maiden name she resolutely laid aside her pen and declared that she could not sign it.

  Her employer did not ask any questions but comprehending that the situation looked a bit mystifying, she took the pen again and singed "Mrs. Jennie Fertig Shively".

  Then she admitted that she eloped with Harry R. Shively, an electrical worker, last Christmas. She is the daughter of Martin L. Fertig, assistant traffic manager of the Louisville & Portland canal.

Harry R. Shively was born on 14-Sep-1886 in Jefferson County, KY and died on 15-May-1958 in Jefferson County, KY.  Jennie Fertig was born about 1883 and died in Jefferson County, KY on 19-March-1960.   The information on the time of their marriage differs from the public records as their marriage can be located in Clark County, IN records dated 7-June-1910.  Jennie Fertig was the daughter of Martin Luther Fertig and Katherine Cassandra Barmore.  Harry R. Shively was the son of Harry Shively and Mary "Mollie" A (last name unknown).  

Harry and Jennie are listed on the 1920 Jefferson County, City of Louisville census record.  In the household are Harry age 33, wife Jennie B age 36, son Raymon E age 9, daughter Dorothy May age 6, son Floyd age 4, and son Walter C age 1.  This family is also listed in the 1930 Jefferson County, City of Louisville census record. The consists of Harry R age 44, wife Jennie age 46, son Raymond age 19, daughter Dorothy age 16, son Floyd age 14, son Carl age 11, daughter Elizabeth age 8 and daughter Jen age 6.  Also in the household are two boarders; Emma E Reese age 43 and Katheryn Reese age 18.  

Harry R. Shively's grandfather was William Shively who who born about 1830 and died on 19-Jan-1906 in Jefferson County, KY.  He was married to Margarett J (last name unknown).  William Shively was the son of Henry Shively (1794-1847) and Maria Hambleton.  Henry Shively was the son of Christian Shively (1746-1826).  Christian Shively was an early pioneer in Jefferson County, KY.  

George Rudy Shively From Jefferson County, Kentucky To Pettis County, Missouri

It interests me to think about how many of our ancestors did move and to think of what they had to endure prior to the days of moving vans and interstate highways.  One Shively ancestor that made a move was George Rudy Shively who traveled approximately 450 miles from Jefferson County, Kentucky to  Pettis County, Missouri sometime between 1860 and 1868.

George Rudy Shively was born in Jefferson County, Kentucky on 22-Jan-1847.  He was the son of Christian Shively and Susan Jane Rudy.  Christian Shively was the son of  Henry Shively who was the son of Christian Shively.  This Christian Shively was one of the early settlers in Jefferson County.    It is known that George Shively's uncles, Samuel Rudy and John  Fredrick Rudy, moved to Pettis County, Missouri and that George's mother, Susan Rudy Shively, may have wanted to be close to her brothers and followed them to Missouri.

George Shively and Margaret "Maggie" Wright were married on 22-December-1868 in Pettis County, Missouri.  Maggie Wright was born on 31-May-1850 in Cooper County, Missouri and was the daughter of Andrew M. Wright.   On the 1900 census George and Maggie note there were 3 children born to their union and two children were still alive.  The two children that survived were daughters,  Anna Jane Shively and Susan M. "Susie" Shively.  Anna Jane married Samuel W. Coleman and Susan M. Shively married Frederic "Fred" Benz.  

This Shively family seemed to stay in the Pettis County as there are records from various sources for their passing.  Susan Jane Rudy Shively Powell, mother of George, passed away on 1-September-1887 in Pettis County.   The brother of George, Samuel Shively was born 11-January-1845 in Kentucky and died on 1-December-1863 and buried in Salem Cemetery.  George Rudy Shively died 24-March-1914 in Pettis County.   Margaret "Maggie" Wright Shively died on 5-February-1920.  

George Shively is found on the 1850 and 1860 Jefferson County, Kentucky census records.  By 1870 he has moved to Missouri and is located on the Pettis County, Missouri census record.  George remains on the Pettis County census records in 1880, 1900 and 1910.

Benjamin E. Shively Who Lived In Jefferson County, Kentucky and St. Louis, Missouri

While doing research for the St. Louis, Missouri area the name of Benjamin E. Shively was located.  Benjamin E. Shively was born in Kentucky and was the son of Benjamin F. Shively and Margaret J. (last name unknown). The grandparents of Benjamin E. Shively were William Henry Shively (1786-1866) and Nancy Earickson (born 1791) of Jefferson County, Kentucky.  The following newspaper article was extracted from The Republic, St. Louis, MO, Sunday morning, March 21, 1897, Part III, Page 2, Column 4:
