Taylor County, Iowa History 1881 by Lyman Evans
GAY TOWNSHIP
(Page 579)
SHEARER, DANIEL S., section eight, post-office Conway. Born in Hamilton
county, Ohio, in 1820; seven years later his parents moved to Indiana and
settled near Indianapolis, where our subject attained his majority and
received an education in the common schools. In 1848 he came west and
settled in Washington county, Iowa, where he improved a farm and remained
five years. He then moved to Wapello County, remaining (page 688) eleven
years; thence to Monroe county, and in 1868 came to Taylor county. He
now owns eighty acres of land, nicely improved, and has a pleasant home.
In 1850 he took unto himself Miss Sarah F. Trailor, a native of
Illinois. Mrs. S. died five years later, leaving three children. Two
are now living: Nancy E. (wife of Frank Drew, of Creston), and William
H. In 1856 he was married to Miss Mary Williams, of Kentucky. They are
the parents of five children, living: John S., Laura I., Leonora E.,
Martha J. and Eddie K. Mr. and Mrs. Shearer are members of the Methodist
Episcopal Church.
Notes
Note for: Peter Shearer, 1825 - 11 JUL 1864 Index
Burial:
Place: Alexandria National, Rapides Parish, LA
Individual note:
In 1860, Peter was farming near his brothers, Daniel and John in Wapello
Co., IA. His wife Lucy, sons Daniel, Henry and 15-year-old Artemus
Shearer were in his household. Artemus, son of Peter's cousin was listed
as a farm laborer.
Note* Family stories tell of Valentine Shearer b. 1850 calling Peter and
Lucy his parents. Valentine's mother had died when he was three, so the
possibility is that Artemus and Valentine (brothers) were raised by Peter
and Lucy.
Note* In "Dear Companion"
Silas states that he saw Uncle Andrew, Pete Shearer, and Henry Hufman (a
cousin by marriage) while in Camp Schoefield, St. Louis, MO October 5,
1862.
