THE SHRUM FAMILY

Peter Shrum was the father of: John, Newt, Gid, Moses, married Elizabeth Nichols; Asa, married Harriet Dixon, and it is said that he walked all the way to Arkansas to make his home; Pleasant Shrum, married Emily Nichols, a sister of Elizabeth; Peter Shrum, Jr.; Tillman Shrum, married a Gifford; Carroll Shrum, married a Leath; another son, name unknown, who married a sister of the two Nichols women above referred to; two other son’s names, not known; Sallie Shrum, married Jerry Brawner, Sr.; Tilda Shrum, married John Brawner, a nephew of Jerry. Sr.; Becky Shrum, married Pate Dixon; and Nancy Shrum, died as an old maid. Here we have most of the 18 sons and daughters of one of the county’s first settler’s. We are sorry that three names are missing from the list and we have no record of two of them. The son was married a Nichols and whose name is not known, had one son, known as “Jiner” Shrum, who married Sallie Eden.

About child Ursulia A SHRUM Wilson:

The marriage of Ursulia BURNS to Peter SHRUM, 26 December 1851, in Pope, Illinois would indicate WIFE Ursula A BURNS is mother to CHILD Ursulia A SHRUM. They were married the day after Christmas and the child was born in February. The timing seems rather short notice, but not unheard of.

Death certificate (on find-a-grave) for CHILD "Ursula A Schrumm Wilson" does not show a mother.

About child Peter:

Find a grave for "Peter King Shrum" shows a son Peter born to Telitha, but can't find on census.

Find a grave also says Ursula Ann Shrum is daughter to Elizabeth Ethel Austin.
