Notes for John J. SHOCK
John J. Shock was born March 19, 1771 in Shenandoah County, Virginia, the son of Henry Shock and Elizabeth Holtzapfel-Shock. Sometime between 1792 and 1796, John served 3 years under General "Mad" Anthony Wayne in the wars against the Indians. He gained a Captains' rank.
On February 25, 1798 he married Mary "Polly" Shely. In 1816 or 1820 John, Mary, & nine children migrated to the Missouri Territory, settling in what was then known as Howard County.
On November 16, 1820 Boone County was organized from limits of Howard County. John and Mary were on this land before Missouri was officially a State, being admitted to the Union in February, 1821. In those days the families were buried on their farm. John J. Shock set aside a place for the Shock Family Burial Grounds.
In later years this cemetery had to be moved. The City of Columbia moved it to what is known as Smiley Lane. Again developers wanted to buy the ground where the Shock Cemetery had been moved. The developer at his expense moved the cemetery a third time! The original cemetery which was on John J. Shock's homestead is now located at Rocky Fork Baptist Church Cemetery where many of his children and grandchildren were buried. May they finally all "Rest in Peace"!

Old Northwest Indian Wars 1790-94 Sol, at Battle of Fallen Timbers;
President George Washington sent General Anthony Wayne in 1794 along with his well-trained forces devastated a band of Indians supported by Canadian militia at Fallen Timbers, almost within earshot of the British Fort Miamis on the Maumee River, not far from present-day Toledo. Wayne avoided conflict with the British regulars, who in turn disappointed Indian expectations by taking no offensive action. Wayne destroyed impressive quantities of goods belonging to British traders, however, and established Fort Wayne. At the ensuing peace donference, held at Fort Greenville in 1795, the chastened Indians agreed, in exchange for gifts and the promise of annuities, to open new territories to american settlement. The memory of Fallen Timbers helped to secure peace for many years on the northwestern frontier.517

John and his wife Mary originally settled land located in the Columbia, MO area. The “patented” this land in 1825; the Patent is signed by President John Quincy Adams. They were required to live on the land for 5 years before it could be patented.
John Shock served 3 years under General “Mad Anthony” Wayne, fighting the Indians in the Ohio Territory. the biggest battle of note was the “Battle of Fallen Timbers” in August, 1794. He earned the rank of Captain, and was probably known by that title the rest of his life, as his obituary is headed: “Captain Shock Dies.”518

The Battle of Fallen Timbers (August 20, 1794) was the final battle of the Northwest Indian War, a struggle between American Indians and the United States for control of the Northwest Territory (an area bounded on the south by the Ohio River, on the west by the Mississippi River, and on the northeast by the Great Lakes). The battle, which was a decisive victory for the United States, ended major hostilities in the region until "Tecumseh's War" and the Battle of Tippecanoe in 1811.
Background
The Western Lakes Confederacy—one of the strongest Native American alliances to date—had achieved major victories over the United States in 1790 and 1791, alarming the administration of President George Washington. In 1792, Washington called upon Revolutionary War veteran General "Mad Anthony" Wayne to build and command a new army. Wayne believed the previous expeditions against the Indians had failed because of the poor training and discipline, and so he began rigorous preparations.
Wayne had plenty of time to train his new army, as peace negotiations were undertaken in the summer of 1793. The Americans sought to confirm possession of lands north of the Ohio River that they had claimed from Great Britain after victory in the American Revolutionary War. Indeed, the Americans were already moving into the Ohio territory.
However, Shawnee war chief Blue Jacket and Delaware (Lenape) leader Buckongahelas, encouraged by their recent victories over the United States and the hope of continued British sponsorship, pressed for the Ohio River boundary line established by the Treaty of Fort Stanwix in 1768; they rejected subsequent treaties that had ceded lands north of the Ohio River to the United States. A faction of Indians led by the influential Mohawk leader Joseph Brant attempted to negotiate a compromise, but Blue Jacket and his allies would accept nothing less than an Ohio River boundary, which the United States refused.
Battle of Fallen Timbers
Wayne's new army, the Legion of the United States, marched north from Fort Washington (Cincinnati, Ohio) in 1793, building a line of forts along the way. Wayne commanded more than 4,600 men, with some Choctaw and Chickasaw Indians serving as scouts.
Blue Jacket's army took a defensive stand along the Maumee River (in present-day Maumee, Ohio and not far from present-day Toledo, Ohio), near a number of uprooted trees ("fallen timbers") that had been leveled by a tornado or heavy storm. They reckoned that the trees would hinder the advance of the army, if they came. Nearby was Fort Miami, a British outpost from which the Indian confederacy received provisions. The Indian army, about 1,500 strong, consisted of Blue Jacket's Shawnees and Buckongahelas's Delawares, Miamis led by Little Turtle, Wyandots, Ojibwas, Ottawas, Potawatomis, Mingos, and even some Canadian militia.
The battle did not last long. Not only were the Indians greatly outnumbered—many were getting provisions from the fort when the battle began—they were also outflanked by American cavalry. The Indians were quickly routed, and fell back to Fort Miami, only to find the gates closed. The British commander, not authorized to start a war with the Americans, refused to give shelter to the fleeing Indians. The American troops destroyed Indian villages and crops in the area, and then withdrew. Wayne's troops lost 33 men killed and 100 were wounded. The victorious Americans claimed to have found 30-40 enemy dead on the field. According to Alexander McKee of the British Indian Department, the Indian confederacy had 19 men killed. McKee's figure may or may not include the casualties of a group of Canadian volunteers under Captain Alexander McKillop, who fought alongside the Indians.
Aftermath
The defeat of the Indians led to the signing of the Treaty of Greenville in 1795, which ceded much of present-day Ohio to the United States, paving the way for the creation of that state in 1803. One veteran of Fallen Timbers who did not sign the Greenville treaty was a young Shawnee war leader named Tecumseh, who would renew Indian resistance in the years ahead. from Wikipedia519

To: johnjohnson@mac.com
One of my regular correspondents, Belva Tichenor wrote me that she thought Mary Bealor might have been John's FIRST wife. This is a possibility, I suppose, because John's service ended around 1795 and he didn't marry Mary Shely until 1798. So, there are about 3 years unaccounted for in that time span. It would be possible that Mary Bealor died and he later married Mary Shely. Also, Belva said Mary Bealor was born in 1775 and we know Mary Shely was born in 1779.
Belva doesn't remember where she got the information. We have tried every web site we can think of, referencing records in Kentucky, Virginia and West Virginia, but can't find anything on a Mary Bealor. And, you know, there are a world of John Shocks, so its' possible Mary Bealor married another John Shock, not our's.
Our information about Mary Shely came from the Shely family Bible, listing Mary's birth, marriage to John and children. The birth and death dates correcpond to her tombstone.
It's a puzzle!
