Charles,
I can only comment as to my records and my listing for your Susannah
Shanks is not well documented. But I list Susannah Shanks who married
Cornelius Carrico on Jan 27, 1806 in Nelson Co, KY per Nelson Co, KY
Marriage records as a daughter of Thomas Shanks and Susannah Unknown
(Gordon per James Duke). She would be the sister to Thomas Shanks who
married (1803) Sarah Woodherd and Charles Shanks who married (1812)
Lydia A Wethington.
The parents of Cornelius is open for debate, I have no good document to
connect him to anyone. If you have something I would appreciate knowing.
My Ggrandparents on my fathers side were James Michael Carrico and Ann
Missouri Pike. Both are buried in the St Patrick's Catholic Cemetery on
Fort Knox, Hardin Co, KY. James Michael Carrico was a grandson of Thomas
Ignatius Carrico and Elizabeth Kirby. I list Cornelius as b. abt 1772 in
Charles Co, MD where most of the Carrico's lived before coming to KY.
I found him on the 1850 Washington Co, KY census living with his son
Edward and family and was listed as age 78 b. MD. I have no idea when he
died but from one of the members of the Carrico discussion group, it was
shown he died in Nelson Co, KY. Most often I Cornelius listed as the son
of James Carrico (brother to Thomas Ignatius) and Elizabeth Clement but
some find this connection appalling, see cut and paste below. I cannot
be sure but I do show him as the son of James Carrcio and Elizabeth
Clement per the Filson Club Quarterly, also below.
!SOURCE: The Filson Club History Quarterly Vol. 25 The Carrico Family by
Homer Edwin Carrico of Dallas TX pages 235/236. The children of James
Carrico were: James Carrico, Jr., John Martin Carrico, Precy (Percy?)
Carrico, Margaret Carrico, Tabitha Carrico, Dennis Carrico, Cornelius
Carrico, Walter Carrico, Tresy (Theresa?) Carrico, Deborah Carrico,
Vincent Carrico and Alexander Carrico.
WARNING: Some sources give the parents of Cornelius as James & Elizabeth
(CLEMENT) CARRICO. There is no mention of a Cornelius in James's estate
inventory. Some sources give Henry & Susanna (__?__) CARRICO as his
parents, but Henry is too young (b. 1773) and his son is a different
Cornelius CARRICO. Others say Cornelius is Henry's brother, making him
son of Bartholomew & Winefred "Kitty" (PADGETT) CARRICO. However, the
1790 Census shows Bartholomew with only one son born before 1774 — so, if
the only hard evidence you have argues against your case, it's time to
stop making the case, at least until you find something that supports it.
The bottom line is we do not know who Cornelius's parents were, and we
may never know, but until we know, we should stop guessing. It only
makes finding the truth harder. Diana Gale MATTHIESEN

Pat hope the move is smooth!
First of all, the little brown booklet privately published may have
been lost in my own move 4 years ago. It was written by a Shanks descendent
and described the incident in Bourbon Co, KY. I in turn got it from my
late cousin's papers. He wrote the author who replied that he knew of no
connection to our Shanks.
Then, I found in "Memoirs of the Lower Ohio Valley" a biography of
John Shanks, born 1800 in Dearborn Co, Indiana. "His father, Michael
Shanks came to KY in a very early day, and there is parents and all his brothers
and sisters were killed by the Indians except one sister, (Susanna) who
was carried into captivity and was never heard of afterwards." (she
escaped and survived) Michael Shanks served in 1812 under Gen. Wm. H. Harrison.
There's more about John, and the only value is that I believe he is related however distantly.

Hi Pat, I am also a Carrico researcher and know of Susannah Shanks.
She was married to Thomas O'Bryan in Washington Co., KY then to Cornelius
Carrico in 1906 in Nelson Co., KY. From there they went to Fancy
Farm, Graves Co., KY. Any Help? If so, please fill me in on the Shanks
Family.

Pat,
Having not touched genealogy in months, I now have difficulty finding
the John C. Shanks I know I saw. However there is a Daniel Rogers
who acted as bondsman for Susanna Shanks and Cornelius Carrico in 1806,
Nelson County. does that help?
I will continue looking for John. The Shanks family is complicated
by the wipe-out of a Shanks family by Indians. Two escaped, a brother
who wasn't there at the time and wasn't aware of his sister's escape and
survival.

Say, Charles, are you a desc. of Cornelius CARRICO a-n-d Susanna
SHANKS? I am a SHANKS desc. also. Unfortunately I am missing the St.
Mary's Co. - Nelson Co. link. I'd be happy to send you what I have.
Susanna may very well be a sibling of my Elizabeth SHANKS who married
Charles STEWART April 25, 1806 in Nelson Co. Note the dates of
Elizabeth and Susanna SHANKS marriages are both in Nelson Co. 1806.
Also a Thomas SHANKS married a Sally WOODHERD January 09, 1803 in
Nelson Co.
I think her parents are John and Ann SHANKS. Further I suspect that
the SHANKS gentlemen in St. Mary's Co., Henry, John and Peter, may
be other children. I have not found a SHANKS desc. with whom to
bounce ideas! I am half afraid that you may be all too willing! I do
have more and am willing to share.
