(Research):PIONEER WOMAN ANSWERS CALL
Mrs. Sarah Shook, Widow of David W. Shook, Died During Night
MANY DESCENDANTS
Mrs Sarah Shook, 93 years of age, widow of David W. Shook died at the home of her daughter, Mrs Ira Melson north of Hobbs Wednesday night at 10 O'clock, death ending an illness of several weeks from heart trouble and a general breaking down due to her advanced age. The death of this splendid woman removed from the community a mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother who lived to see many changed in this state and county. For the past fifty-four years she resided in Tipton county, coming here with her husband from Ripley county. "Grandma"Shook , as she was known to relatives and friends, was one of the beloved women of this county, a devout Christian who reared a family of splendid children and leaves many descendants who will be influenced by her teachings throughout their lives. For many years she was a member of the Baptist church and a woman whose religion was practiced in her every act and deed. Mrs. Shook was born in Ripley county, Nov 12, 1840, being one of ten children born to Samuel and Mary (Waters) Jackson. She was the last surviving child. She was married in Ripley county to David W. Shook, the ceremony being performed by Rev. John Walters, a Baptist minister of Versailles, and she and her husband lived there until their removal to this county in 1880. Of the eleven children to this couple, three daughters and four sons survive: Mrs. Ira Melson, Mrs . Mort Losey and Mrs. Nora Smith, all of the community northeast of Tipton; Rev. Albert Shook of Windfall; Elmer Shook of Fountain City; Willard Shook of Bunker Hill, and Renzo Shook, residing near Muncie. Mrs . Shook and her husband spent most of their married life on a farm, removing to Windfall when they retired from the farm, where the husband died in 1917. Aug 4, 1928, Mrs. Shook met with an accident at the home of her daughter , when she fell and struck her face, injuring her left eye in a manner which ruined the sight . She recovered from that accident and up to a short time ago was able to be up and around the home. Funeral services have not been arranged at this time, but the body will lie in state at the home of the daughter and friends are invited to call any time.

Notes:

Sarah was married previously to William. I believe her previous husba nd was John Kenny/Kenney. There are two children within the househol d of William and Sally in 1870 which I believe are her children. Sara h is deceased by 1908 when William remarried to Maranda Rhodes. I hav e done a search on Ancestry and Family Search and the only thing I ca n find is the marriage record of two of her daughters that indicate th at her last name is CoxIn the 1900 Census, Sarah states she is the mot her of 13 children with only 8 living. I only have 7 recorded. Of th ose 7 there are 2 that are already deceased by that time. Who are th e other 8 children?

Notes:

Depending on what record you look at, John's last name is spelled all sorts of different ways. Houston, Huston, Hueston, etc.
Due to the death record say Hueston, I am going with that spelling due to the fact that his death was probably reported by the kids.
Also to note, is the different ages in the census records. 1815, 1819, and 1818. I choose to go with the age at death due to not have a birth record to go by. They did not start recording births until the early 1900's and unless i can find the Hueston bible, I can only go with what i see.
All census records indicate that John was born in Indiana but there is a Pennsylvania, U.S., Arriving Passengers and Crew Lists, 1800 - 1962 that lists a John Huston that was born in 1818. This could most likely be him. Which means the Hueston line could descend from Ireland.

Although John was born in Indiana, I think it is prudent to put the history I found on Gallatin County here as he married it Gallatin County and his children were born in Gallatin County. The information was found on Wikepedia.

Gallatin County is a county located in the northern part of Kentucky. The county seat is Warsaw. The county was founded in 1798 and names for Albert Gallatin, the Secretary of the Treasury under President Thomas Jefferson.
The county was formed on December 14, 1798. Gallatin was the 31st Kentucky cournty to be established. It was derived from parts of Franklin and Shelby County, Kentucky. Later, parts of Gallatin county were pared off to create three additional counties: Owen in 1819, Trimble in 1836 and Carroll in 1838. Today, Gallatin is 1/10 of its original size. Its northern border is the Ohio River.
Adjacent counties to Gallatin are Switzerland County, Indiana on the north, Boone County on the northeast, Grant County on the southeast, Owen County on the south, and Carroll County on the West.
My thought is that Switzerland, Boone and Grant are all Indiana Counties where Owen and Carroll are Kentucky counties. Most of the children ended up in Grant County. And John died in Boone Township in Madison County, Indiana. John's wife died in 1888 in Grant County. One of the children were in Madison County and that could be why John ended up passing away in Madison due to the fact that his wife Elizabeth died 9 years previously.

John married Elizabeth Jane Shafer on 14 May 1840 in Gallatin County, Kentucky, United States. Elizabeth (daughter of Living) was born on 10 Mar 1823 in Kentucky, United States; died on 3 Jun 1888 in Grant County, Indiana, United States; was buried in 1888 in Green Township, Grant, Indiana, United States.
