The Shemwell Family

Birth date is consistent with her parents being married in 1756 and divorcing in 1769.

Joseph and Milly McGehee - Children's ages Their five children (Suckey, Jacob, Penny, Abraham, Tempy) were listed in the 1794 Will which had certain stipulations when Abraham reached 21 years old. I will assume that a child in the 1790s would therefore be consider a minor if he/she were under 21 years old. In 1795, all five children were listed as being orphans with James Collins being assigned as their Guardian. Based on these dates and legal documents, it appears that the children were born between 1773 and 1794 to still be consider minors in 1795. Actual (and supported birth dates) will be added as they are found.

The Will appears to list two groupings of children. The first grouping are associated with his current wife, Milly; i.e., Suckey, Jacob, Penny, Abraham, and Tempy. There are five other children who are not referenced to any wife; however, based on other records, their mother was probably Mary Terrell Chiles. Those children are Micajah, Elizabeth, Chiles, Judith, and Joseph Jr. Note that there are no other children listed in the Will.
