Go West Young Man, Go West!
Western Shahan Branch:
The following is another TN Shahan, Daniel of Roane Co. The only record found showing place of birth are census records. Earliest census was the 1830, but he was in the area as early as 1820 as his marriage was in Blount Co. in 1820. Several of the list are descended from this TN Shahan. If members will post, starting with Daniel and Martha, then list the child they are descended from and bring that child forward, that would be a tremendous help with compiling Daniel's family. The knowledge of the migrations of these families is a great help in locating the whereabouts of children, etc. Please post areas the families moved to and from.

Children for Daniel and Martha Hussong-Shahan: (Unconfirmed)
1) James H. b. 1821 TN m. Adelia LINE. He is believed to have stayed in the
Roane Co., TN area. One daughter is believed to have married Henry C.
WILKERSON. One son may have migrated to KY when the families left TN.
Adelia Line is believed to have died early and James H. possibly remarried.
Adelia Line connects to the Line family of Anita Hinson. Searching for members
of James H. family.
2) David B. b. ca 1822 Roane Co., TN m. 1842 Mary "Polly" HURT. This family
moved to KY ca latter 1850s when several families moved from the area. Some of
David B.'s family moved over to MO and settled. David B. d. 1893. Several on
the list are descended from David B. Karla Shahan's husband, Bev Stach, Dorothy
Rudd, Vena Da Procida are just a few.
3) George W. b. ca 1830 TN m. Susan Jane LINE 1850 Roane Co., TN. This family
moved to several different areas of TN before moving to Grayson Co., TX in the
latter 1890s. George W. died ca 1908 Grayson Co., TX. We have been unable to
find George and his family on any 1860 census; he was in Bledsoe Co., TN 1870,
Hamilton Co., TN 1880 and then on to TX by 1900. Several of the TX Shahan lines
descend from George W. and Susan Jane. Sandy Talen is descended from this line.
Susan Jane Line connects to the Line family of Anita Hinson.
4) William A. b. 1833 Roane Co., TN m. Lydia Elkins 1852 in Roane Co., TN. He
moved, along with his parents and several siblings to Bond Co., IL latter 1850s.
He joined the Union Army in IL and moved to Smith Co., TX after his return from
the war. His first wife apparently died and he married twice more while in TX.
James "Happy" Shahan is descended from William A. I have been in contact with
descendants of William A. and have put together quite a bit of the family. I
should be getting his military records any time now from the National Archives.
5) John W. Shahan b. 1833 Roane Co., TN, twin of William A. Nothing found to
date on this child.
6) Andrew Jackson b. 1834 Roane Co., TN. Andrew Jackson came out to TX when
the other family members left TN and headed for MO and IL. He fought for the
CSA and was in Smith Co., TX on the 1870 TX census, along with brother William
A. and sister, Louisa. Andrew Jackson then came down to Blanco Co., TX and
settled. Several of his children lived in the Blanco Co. area and Stephens Co.,
TX area. Sue Shahan's ancestor. Quite a bit has been put together on this
family.
7) Mathew Franklin b. 1838 TN. Shown on the 1860 Bond Co., IL census with
family as Frank, living with a Reims family. More needs to be done to find his
descendants.
8) Martha b. 1840 TN m. George W. WILKERSON, brother of Henry C.
Wilkerson. Imogene Wells ancestor.
9) Lafayette b. 1844 TN. This child's name is believed to be Daniel Lafayette.
He is believed to be the Daniel L. Shahan who joined the Union Army within one
day of William A. Shahan in IL. Both men joined at the same location. William
A. was injured in the Atlanta campaign and Daniel L. died in the Atlanta
campaign. His pension was applied for by his mother, Martha. I am awaiting the
records for Daniel L. from the National Archives. Any day now.
10) Louisa b. 1846 TN. She is believed to have come to TX with brothers William
A. and Andrew Jackson. She is in the household of Andrew Jackson on the 1870
Smith Co., TX census. Nothing has been found on her since.
There is a possible 11th child, Julia, who died at the age of one in Roane Co.,
TN. William A. Shahan named one of his daughters, Julia. Because of the gap
between David B. and George W., compiler believes there were other children
of Daniel and Martha.
1) James H. b. 1821 TN m. Adelia LINE. He is believed to have stayed in the
Roane Co., TN area. One daughter is believed to have married Henry C.
WILKERSON. One son may have migrated to KY when the families left TN.
