Additional Information
  1. Josiah H. Shinn writes:
    This son of James and Abigail (Lippincott) Shinn first appears as a witness upon several marriage certificates. He married Elizabeth Webb, a woman not of Quaker faith, in 1740, as is shown by the secular register. Burlington Monthly Meeting records disclose the interesting fact that he made acknowledgments to the society at that place on November 3, 1741. Little is known of his life. From family records of his children in Harrison County, Virginia (now West Virginia), from other records of his descendants in Philadelphia and Ohio, and from Friends' records of Burlington, Mt. Holly, Chesterfield, and Evesham, N. J., we are enabled to present his children and their marriages:
    Children of Clement and Elizabeth (Webb) Shinn.
    1. Hannah Shinn, b. 1742, married at Evesham, N. J., 1762.
    2. Peter Shinn, b. 10/20/1744, married Grace Gaskell June, 1779.
    3. Clement Shinn, b. 1746, married Ruth Bates 1774 in New Jersey.
    4. Levi Shinn, b. 1748, married Elizabeth Smith 1772 in New Jersey.
    5. Jonathan Shinn, b. 1752, married (1) Mary Clark 1778 in New Jersey; married (2) Mrs. Edwards in Frederick Co.,Va.
    6. David Shinn, twin of Jonathan, b. 1752, married (1) in New Jersey; married (2) Mary ___ in Virginia.
    7. Elizabeth Shinn, b. 1754. 35
  2. New Jersey Marriages, 1665-1800, Genealogical Publishing Co, Baltimore, MD has a secion entitled Index to Marriages Bonds and Marriage Records in the Office of the Secretary fo State at Trenton. Page 347 of the book lists a _____ SHINN and Elizabeth WEBB, both from Burlington, married 30-Aug-1740. 36
  3. "SIMS Index to Land Grants in West Virginia" was found by this compiler in the State of Ohio Library, Columbus, OH 10/23/01. It has the following entries:

    Name Acres Location Year Book Page
    Shinn, Clement 180 Shinn's Run 1801 5 92
    Shinn, Clement 26 1/4 West Fork 1817 3 589
  4. Web page http://worldconnect.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=aeelpn&id=I71 written by Amy Estes (aeelpn@aol.com) shows Clement Shinn's middle initial as "I". I have seen no other sources to verify that, but all of the other genealogical information that this compiler has for Clement matches what Amy has. Amy also states, and it is widely accepted, that Clement was a Quaker.
  5. Elizabeth Webb was one of seven children. There is a will for a George Nixon (d: 15Feb1793, presented to Hampshire County VA (now WV) ??Apr1793). His wife was Rachel. He listed 7 children - one listed as Elizabeth Webb.
