Joseph Shipman
(abt 1807 – 25 Aug 1864)

I do not think that I have corresponded with your regarding my Shipman family line.   I thought you might be able to help.   Over the last year, a lot of progress has been made on the descendants of Joseph Shipman (abt 1807 – 25 Aug 1864).   However, I still need your help tying Joseph to a Shipman line.   Joseph indicated he was born in Athens County, Ohio.   The census and other data support a birth about 1807.   Based on 1830 census, his most likely father is Daniel Shipman of Athens Co., Ohio.   Joseph named his second child, Daniel and first child, James.   Information from Joseph’s children suggests the Shipmans were from upstate New York, Connecticut, Massachusetts, or Vermont.   If you have any information on Joseph Shipman, Daniel Shipman of Athens Co, OH, or potential parents or grand parents for Joseph Shipman, please let me know.

Thank you for your help!
