Research Notes
There are conflicting death dates , no record of her death date can be found , she is not found in the census records after 1850, the link for her find a grave maybe wrong as stated there are conflicting dates also I do not believe that this was the wife of Jacob Shipman Jr. (1779 - 1845) dates , locations do not match up
