167 CLEMENT SHINN(4) --CLEMENT (3), JAMES (2) JOHN (1)
(More information on this family can be found at A Migration to Virginia) Clement Shinn does not appear on any of the records, and was content to
live an obscure life. He was in Harrison County as early as 1779, with a wife and children. He took up a farm near where Shinnston now stands, cleared it and lived upon it until he died. His adventures with the Indians
would be interesting, but he did not commit them to writing, and his descendants have nothing but the traditions common to pioneer life. His children are taken from the family Bible and their marriages from the court
records of Harrison County. Children of Clement and Ruth (Bates) Shinn. 488. (1) Joseph Shinn, b. 9/23/1775; m. Mary Mathis in Virginia, 7/3/1800. 489. (2) Moses Shinn, b. 2/10/1779; m.
