One artifact from George Allison Shields has survived to the present. It is a straight razor with a few words scratched on the wood handle. On one side is scratched "Bought 1790 by G A Shields in Baltimore." The other side has "1790/1861 Presented to W C Shields by his father." In 1790 George was about 14, so my first question is what was he doing in Baltimore, Maryland? Perhaps he (and /or the family) was visiting relatives in the area. Remember those "several brothers" that came to America with Christopher? Could it be that this connection to Baltimore is a clue about them?
