Rosa's Cousins - Shipman Family

For the past 4 days I have written about Rosa's Cousins from her mother's side of the family, the Chases. Next I plan to write about her father's side of the family, the Shipmans.

Her father, Joshua Rodney Shipman, had at least 4 full siblings and 4 half-siblings, as his mother, Mary Carey, died when J. R. was about 15 and his father remarried.

A family history was published in 1962 by the Shipman Historical Society, The Shipman Family in America, compiled by Mrs. Wayne A. Carl (Rita Shipman), Mrs. Egerton Crispin (Angela Shipman), and Mr. & Mrs. William Henry Shipman.

This history shows the following names for those who would have been Rosa's 1st cousins:

Carrie (Wright) Reed

Etta (Wright) Fobes

Ella (Brown) Adams

Jennie Shipman (Conroy) Kelley

Then it lists those who would have been 1/2 1st cousins:

Nellie (Spaulding) Dickinson Wright

Jennie (Spaulding) VanGeisen Howell

Wendell Spaulding

James Lester Shipman

Gladys Anna (Shipman) McDurmon

Alta (Sommerville) Bowling

I plan to choose 4 from these two groups and write about them over the next 4 days. Watch and see who I choose.
