Descendants of William De Falaise

Much of the following information is from the Home Page of Leslie Ferguson in her research of the "Descendants of Kemys William Martyn De Tours," a General for William the Conqueror in 1066. Also serving as a General for William was Jacques le Forte, the earliest known ancestor of the Shackelford/Shackleford Family.

These two Generals descendants would unite seven hundred years later with the marriage of John Shackelford and Mary Anne White, daughter of Mary Martin.

Fact 2: Came over from Normandy with William the Conqueror.

Fact 3: Lord of Combe-Martin of Martinshire in the northern part of Devonshire

Fact 4: A direct descendent of Bishop Martin de Tours of France

THE PARENTS OF JOHN SHACKELFORD

As to the idenity of John Shackelford's parents, there has been, over the period of many years, a differance in opinions among many Shackelford researchers.

One opinion has it that James B. Shackelford who married Elizabeth Lewis as the parents of John. Another has it that John Shackelford and Ann Lynn where his parents. Both opinions have merit. However, the exact answer is inconclusive. Regardless of the parentage, John is a direct descendant of Roger, the immigrant. John's ancestors can be viewed on the Web Page of William O. Shackelford.

Children of MARY WHITE and JOHN SHACKELFORD are:

i. GREGORY²⁵ SHACKELFORD, b. Unknown, Virginian; d. Unknown, Virginia.

Notes for GREGORY SHACKELFORD:

Birth, death and marriage unknown, possible infant. Note: Gregory Shackelford may or may not be a son of John and Anne White-Shackelford. I have only been able to find one source that names him as a son, and this source has not been proven. However, due to the fact that many had infant children who died, many were not listed in wills or other family records.
