Robert Edward P.T. Shipman, son of Samuel Shipman, was born April 09, 1847 Hot Springs AR. He died Aug. 11, 1930 Real Co., TX He married Sarah Elizabeth Kiser, born Oct. 07, 1859 Hopkins Co TX. She died Sept. 26, 1929 Real Co. They are both buried in the Hackwood Cemetery in Edwards Co., TX.
They relocated quite frequently and lived in Travis, Somervell, Callahan and finally Edwards Counties. They moved to Edwards Co about 1900 and settled in the community of Hackberry. There's a story which has been told for years that Robert rode by Sarah's house one day, picked her up and rode off. None of the Kiser family was to see Sarah again for 49 years. They were married for 57 years.
Neither of them left a will. The seized property possessed a real and personal probable value of $7000, which was cumminity property in Edwards County. The Administrator of their estate was B.J. Stewart. Inventory and appraisment
was on 25 May 1931. The final disposition was not made until October 10. 1941.
CONFEDERATE PENSION APPLICATION STATE OF TEXAS ARCHIVES :
R.E. SHIPMAN, Ed, County. Campwood, TX Filed OCT.20, 1927
Letter from the state comptroller to Mr. Gray explaining why the pension was rejected. He states
that no military record can be found, but if he can supply more information as proof of his service, his application will be futher considered.
OBSERVATION ON PART OF SHIRLEY RUNNELS, Researcher: On checking the BATTLE OF PACKSADDLE MOUNTAIN involved 8 cowboys from the Duncan Ranch in Llano and 21 Indians. but the battle took place in 1873-well after the Civil War. He also states that he had been in Texas 76 years. This would have
put him here in 1850. He would have been only 7 years old at the time. He also states he was born in Tennessee and all census that I have found as well as what the family has always stated has him born in Arkansas. He says he had been in Edwards Co for 29 years, and this is pretty close to when we can put him there. He also says he did not own any property or home at the time-1927. Where did he put the 1260 acres that he owned since 1906. The land was supposed to have been sold about 1940 at least that is
when his son, Pearl got his inheritance of $195. This whole pension may have been fabricated.

(Daniel Shipman's Inventory included three slaves: Dick, Beck and Sampson. The complete inventory was filed in the November Court, 1799, Warren County, KY)
Daniel Shipman, Sr. was born about 1720 and died Nov 8, 1798 in Barren or Warren County, Kentucky . Researchers on this line have differing opinions as to whether he was born in Wales or New Jersey or Germany. Daniel Shipman, Sr.'s first wife was Elizabeth Burleson who was born in Lunenburg, Virginia to Aaron and Sarah Burleson . Aaron is found on the 1748 tithe list for that county. Elizabeth died before 1782 in North Carolina. (See the web page for the Burleson Research).
A few North Carolina primary records exist to give us an idea how Daniel conducted business during his lifetime:
Daniel and Elizabeth Burleson Shipman had the following known children:
His second wife was Phoebe Staton. They had two known children:
Jacob Shipman was born about 1746, Brunswick, Lunenburg, VA to Daniel Shipman. He died about 1794 in Asheville, Buncombe, NC. He married Sara McMinn about 1750 in North Carolina. Jacob owned land on both sides of Sandy Run
adjoining land owned by his father Daniel and his brother Edward. Jacob and his family were members of the Sandy Run Baptist Church until he died in 1794 and believed to be buried in the Ebenezer Baptist Church in Buncombe County, NC.
The 1790 U.S. Census , Morgan District, Rutherford County, lists a Jacob Shipman with one male 16 years of age and over; 7 males under 16 years of age and 2 females. Also listed under same Company were Edward, Daniel Sr., and Daniel, Jr.
Jacob Shipman served as a private in the 10th Regiment of North Carolina during the Revolutionary War. He enlisted July 20, 1778 for a period of 9 months in Quinn's Company.
After Jacob's death in 1794, Sarah Shipman relocated to Warren Co., KY with some of her children. Here is where she met and married George Saling late in the year of 1800. By 1815 the Saling's were relocated in Illinois, and by 1830 believed to have relocated again to Washington Co, MO where her son Matthew Shipman can also be found.

Daniel Shipman was born about 1780 in Rutherford Co., NC to
Jacob Shipman and Sarah Gage McMinn. He married Zilpha Macom about 1802 in North Carolina, d. between 1850-1860. Their oldest child Hiram was born there in 1804. After Hiram was born, they moved West going first to Tennessee where Isaac was born in 1806 and John in 1813. They then moved toward Goloconda, Illinois near Big Bay Creek where Moses was born in 1819. The next move was to Missouri where their last known son was born in 1822. We have no records of any daughters but some sources say there were five.
It is known that the Shipman family lived in Wayne County, MO (probably near Poplar Bluff) before 1829 as they are recorded there in the 1830 and 1840 census. The Weekly Citizen Democrate, Poplar Bluff, MO, dated April 19, 1917 stated the following: "Draw back the curtain hiding the pictures of the past to 1832 and standing at the summit of the great Bluff that skirts Black River and nestled in a forest or great poplar trees which grow abundantly along the Bluff stood a small frontier log cab. It was the home of the Shipman's.
Butler County was a part of Wayne County until 1840 and was sparsely settled before that time. The first settler came around 1820. The Shipman's came soon after. Daniel was 70 years old on the 1850 census for Butler County, MO. His wife Zilpha was 64 years old at the time and the census said she had been born in Tennessee. His occupation was listed as farmer.
Records for the county state that on July 26, 1853, "Daniel Shipman was appointed Road Overseer on 2nd Division of road from east line of county to the Military Road." It is not clear if this was Daniel or his son Daniel.
Daniel again appears in the 1860 census at age 79. His wife is not listed so we assume she has died by this time.
Children of Daniel and Zilpha:
At the death of Franklin Shipman, his children Elizabeth, Isaac, Palina and Daniel G. Shipman were raised by their Shipman grandparents. (Daniel G. was born October 28, 1832 in Wayne County MO. and died March 18, 1928 )

The occasion of this writing was the celebration of the golden wedding
of Mr. & Mrs. D.B. Shipman, more familiarly known as Uncle Dan and Aunt
Nancy. Fifty years ago, March 4, this remarkable couple were married at
Peach Tree Village, in Tyler County, Texas. They now reside two and
one-half miles west of Vera.
At this celebration there were present five children, fourteen grand
children, one great grandchild and a large number of relatives and
friends to enjoy the excellent dinner which had been prepared by willing
hands and to wish them many more happy years together.
These dear old soldiers of the cross cast their lots together while the
bloom of youth was fresh upon their brow, sharing each other's joys and
sorrows alike. Thought their form is bent with the burdens of many
years of toil, their brows furrowed with age and their hoary heads show
the snow of many winters, they are still cheerful and it is a feast of
pleasure to be in their company.
Aunt Nancy has been blind for more than two years but she bears her
affliction with great fortitude, always trusting in Him who doeth all
things well. They have lived such lives that when their last moments
are spent on earth they will only be transplanted in that celestial city
where there will be no more sorrow, pain or tears, but all will be one
bright, happy day. A Friend"
