Vol. 2, p 125 [Unknown County] MAHALALEEL SHACKLE was in the organization of North District Association, in 1802. From whence he came to Kentucky is unknown. He was an elderly man of very moderate gifts, it appears. He was the minister at Locust Creek church, a few years. But when David Barrow was expelled from the Association, in 1806, on account of his Emancipation principles, Mr. Shackle adhered to his party, and became a member of Licking Locust church, and of the Association bearing that name. He continued to preach among the Emancipationists to a good old age. Shackle Barrow = none http://www.rootsweb.com/~kygenweb/kybiog/unknown/shackle.m.txt
