Thank you for your reply.I am trying to prove John Grinder as a patriot for DAR.I can document his service, marriage and son Robert Evans.I have pretty good proof of his children, speciafically Bethenia m. Wm. Shipp.My proof gets a little thin with the children of Bethenia and Wm Shipp.In census records, I have found son, Wm. Ira with family but the child whose age corresponds to Parthenia is listed as Cynthia.Could her name have been Cynthia Parthenia?I have the death certificate of Parthenia Shipp, wife of Edward C. Anderson and it gives her parents as Zid and Miss Walker.The Zid may have been a nickname for William Ira and I know from the MauryCo. Bible records that Ms. Walker is Simaria Emaline Walker although in the list of their children neither a Cynthia or Parthenia is listed.The marriage of Edwin C. Anderson and Parthenia Shipp have been accepted by DAR in the Shinn lineage.So, I'm ok from there forward.I have those two generations of William Shipp and son, William Ira, daughter, Parthenia that I have very weak documentation.I am working on this line for DAR with another cousin and would appreciate any help you can be.Our correspendence may be more detail than this board allows, please email me direct to [email protected] thanks, Ramona
