Misc. Notes
Nancy Doumar has a copy of his death certificate217

His birth year is listed as 1808 in 160

In the 1850 census on the page before James and Sally Shields, there is a Joshua and Maria Shields (Joshua is 42 years old - b. 1808). I went to Danville last summer to the Virginia/North Carolina Piedmont Genealogical Society and obtained some information on him. His parents are listed as William and Nancy Shields. I am assuming that James and Joshua were brothers.131

Misc. Notes
This marriage was listed as being in 1852 by 129, but this seems unlikely given Joshua’s death date and number of children.
