I'm wondering if you may know anything about a Dorcas Shipley who was born about 1799 - 1800 possibly in Tennessee.
Information I've seen thus far indicates that she married Claiborne Sims about 1820 possibly in Warren County, Tennessee.Claiborne Sims was born abt. 1795 in Lee County, Virginia and may have died before the 1840 census for Warren Co., TN.He is listed as head of the household in the 1830 for Warren Co., TN..Darcus Sims is listed as head of the household in the 1840 census for Warren Co., TN.
1830 and 1840 censuses for Warren County, Tennessee lists five childen, but no names of children included in those censuses:
female; b. abt. 1821
female; b. abt. 1823
male; b. abt. 1826
female; b. abt. 1829
female; b. abt. 1832
Could not find the family in the 1850 census, but did find Darcas Sims; age 61 in the 1860 census for Grundy County, Tennessee.She is shown in that census as living alone.
Her place of birth is listed as Tennessee.Dorcas was very likely the correct spelling, but census listings have her name as Darcus and Darcas.
Thanks for any help.
