Note
According to the Mayfield Monitor newspaper, January 13, 1877, "Mr. Pink Shemwell died Monday at age 22." He was killed by a falling tree. Per Elizabeth Shemwell Skerritt, he was born in 1849. Other records show his date of birth as April, 1850. The newspaper death notice, however, places his date of birth at ca. 1855.
