b. Abt.1846 OH

Emanuel Shufflin's date of birth comes from his tombstone in Greenlawn Cemetery in Columbus, OH  His sister, Samantha, is listed in the guardianship papers as also born in 1839.  One or both of these primary sources is wrong.  There is no mention of Emanuel in the guardianship papers.  However, his brother, John Titus Shufflin, in buying out the other heirs of his father's estate, in Pope Co., IL. Deed Book L. pg 486 "I, Emanuel Shuflin, a son and heir at law of Timothy Shuflin deceased..." dated May 28, 1861 is selling his land to his brother. Emanuel would have been 21 if the tombstone is correct.  He is also the correct age in the 1880 census for Portsmouth, Scioto Co., OH where he is listed as age 40, a Canal Boatsman.

He fought in the Civil War Co G 22nd Regiment, Ohio Infantry enlisting 27Apr/1861

He skipped back and forth from Portsmouth to Columbus. He was in prison for manslaughter. Possibly a street brawl gone wrong.

The Portsmouth Times of 23/Jan/1892 has an obit for his wife.  She should have been 47

"Mrs. Emanuel Shufflin died Tuesday night at her home at Second and Madison streets, of consumption, aged 37 years.  The funeral occurred Tuesday afternoon."
