Will of Peter Shields 26 Sep 1830 Settled in Oct 1832 Lewis County, Virginia
"West Virginia, County Marriage Records, 1776-1971", database, FamilySearch (https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:Q2ZX-GQDP : 29 September 2021), Daniel Shields and Elizabeth Mills, 1820.
NOTE
There exists a case in the records of the Lewis County Court, from the year 1819 (File No. 1819-37) which charges that Daniel Shields did father a female bastard child on the body of Sarah Donoho. This child is never named; but, the date of birth is given as having occurred at Sarah's mother's home on 17 May 1818. This undoubtedly was the birth of Malinda Shields. Daniel does not try to say that the child is not his; but does try to escape paying for her support. In the end, the judge did award support to Sarah Donoho and her child.
