We did take a sneak peek at some of John's probate records which have helped us find a source of John's death date (12 or 13 August 1866), let us know that he died without a will, and helped us verify that he was the father of Benjamin B. Shackford, Charles W. Shackford, and John L. Shackford, and grandfather of Maria Shackford, Silas T. Shackford, Edward W Shackford, and Joshua Shackford. Our next step will be to transcribe each of these documents (that we can find) and interpret any genealogy information contained therein.
