      Anonymous Researcher #1:
      Clarifications:

      John Lockett married Martha Thom on the 4th (or 6th) of October, 1864 in Jackson County, Illinois as recorded in the online ILLINOIS STATEWIDE MARRIAGE INDEX, 1763-1900. Martha's birthplace (on the death certificate) supported this conclusion since Martha was born in Jackson County, Illinois in December of 1843. In addition, Martha's brother, John B. Thom, of Jackson County, Illinois, lived in Ripley County before John and Martha did and afterwards. Joe Thom was named as Martha Thom Lockett's father on her death certificate.

      Lucretia Withrow was cited as the maiden name of John Owen Lockett's wife. It is possible John W. Lockett's mother Lucretia is also Julia Ann Lockett Shiverdecker's mother. I was unable to find a Lucretia Withrow who was born at the right time in any records thus far, though, and not a single LURISHA Withrow was found in records searched. LURISHA was named as John W. Lockett's mother in John's death certificate; the informant was his wife, Martha Thom Lockett.

      It seems likely there are ties between Shiverdeckers and Locketts as evidenced by the fact that John lived with Christopher C. and Julia Ann in 1860 at census time. Also, the "strawberries" letter posted on your website [http://forneyclarkgenealogy.com] sent to John LOCKET at Ursa, Missouri showed these people still remained in contact after decades (John Lockett and Christina Shiverdecker in this instance). The "strawberries" letter was sent in May of 1897. An old railroad map (c. 1897-1898) shows that Ursa, Wayne County, Missouri, is located (roughly) half way between Coldwater (where John lived in 1890 according to his surviving soldiers record) and Buchanan in Bollinger County, which is near the area where Shiverdeckers resided for years. By census time in 1900, John Locketts still lived in Wayne County. By this time, Mary F. Shiverdecker Porter Douglas's two children (John Wesley. and Mary Francis.) lived with John and Martha Lockett.

      SHIVERDECKER MARRIAGES FOUND ONLINE

      Another Mary F. Shiverdecker: One marriage record in Ancestry.com's database of Bollinger County marriages is for a Mary F. Shiverdecker who married a Dan T. Edwards on January 2, 1869. Since only one Shiverdecker family was found living in Bollinger County in the 1860 and 1870 censuses, this was rather puzzling. It is doubtful this woman was "our" Mary since Mary would have been much too young to get married--especially if Mary F. were born in 1860-1861 as some records indicate. However, a justice of the peace from Fillmore Twp., Bollinger Co., Missouri officiated at the marriage ceremony of the Dan T. Edwards couple and Fillmore Twp. is where "our" Shiverdeckers lived in 1870. Mary F. Shiverdecker may have been a relative of the Bollinger County Shiverdeckers who just happened to get married there--but that seems a bit puzzling since brides usually were married in their own communities.

      Christina: CHRISTINA SCHEONBORN of Castor, Bollinger County married Elisha J. Kinder of Zalma, Bollinger County on December 12, 1890. A review of the handwriting on the document showed this woman actually was Christina Shiverdecker, not SCHEONBORN. Christina and Elisha were married by T. W. Cooper, a minister of the gospel. This minister most likely was Thomas W. Cooper, farmer and preacher; he was found in the 1900 census for Bollinger County.

      Sarah: I always enjoy seeing things for myself and was happy to finally find the Sarah C. Shiverdecker marriage record in Bollinger County's records under names Sarah A. KRIACEDECK and Marshall EAKLE. In the record was written: THE MOTHER OF THE SAID SARAH C. SHIVERDECK BEING PRESENT GIVING HER NAME AS JULIA ANN SHIVERDECK AND THIS DAY GIVES HER CONSENT TO THE SAID MARRIAGE. Sarah and Marshal were married on August 22, 1886 at the home of a minister of the gospel, C. J. Eaker?--I'm not positive the initials are totally accurate.

      I was not able to find Sarah Catherine Shiverdecker living with Marshall Eaker. She was found with Eaker children after her marriage to Thom. I did find a death certificate for Marshall in Missouri Archives records, though.

      David: David SCHIVERDAKR of Stoddard County and Susan C. Eaker of Stoddard County, daughter of T. A. J. Eaker (who gave his consent to the marriage) were married at Brownwood, Missouri, on October 17, 1894, by R. H. Wolf, Justice of the Peace, according to a Stoddard County, Missouri marriage records database on Ancestry. com. I am not totally satisfied that I have correctly transcribed Mr. Eaker's initials here.

      I'm still curious about David Shiverdecker, Christopher Columbus Shiverdecker's son. D. C. A. in the 1880 census and the David Lysander who married Susan C. Eaker appear to be the same person in spite of their initials not matching. The census of June 1, 1880 showed D. C. A.'s age to be six. This is close to David Lysander's age in many records. It seems curious, though, that he would be called D. C. A. on the 1880 census if his name were David Lysander. David Shiverdecker's year of birth ranged from 1857 to 1875 in records I found so that makes it rather confusing.
