I found Thomas J Shinn's probate packet and noticed that there are some differences in the children attributed to his sons John and Ransom.
See the document dated 26 May 1896, the bottom of image 29 and top of image 30 for the identities of the surviving children of sons
Have you found any records for John's children?
