Notes for Mary E. GREEN
Braxton County, West Virginia Death Register entry for Mary Green Shock. While it is true that Braxton County was a part of the state of Virginia at the time of Braxton County, West Virginia Death Register entry for Mary Green Shock. While it is true that Braxton County was a part of the state of Virginia at the time of her death, it's records are now part of the state of West Virginia and I have shown Mary's death as ocuring within that jurisdiction.

Jacob Shock, a son of Henry and Elizabeth (Holsable) Shock, was born September 4, 1789. On October 6, 1810, he married Mary Green, a daughter of Benjamin and Isabella (Evans) Green. Mary died August 4, 1854 and Jacob May 7, 1876. They are buried in the Methodist cemetery at Rosedale, WV.529

From Sutton’s History pages 437-438
Jacob Shock, son of Henry Shock, was born near White Sulphur Springs, Greenbrier county, September 4, 1789, and about 1807, he with his father came to the place now known as Twistville in Braxton county where his father died soon after.
At the age of fourteen, he joined a hunting and trapping party, and came to the woods at Steer creek where they camped, hunted, and trapped for a considerable length of time. While there, he discovered that the land was very rich and fertile, and always after that he had a strong desire to make a home in the Steer creek valley.
In the year 1810, he married Mary Green, and soon afterwards, he prevailed upon his brother-in-law, John Green, to go with him and make a home there. In the month of September, 1815, they came to the place where Rosedale is now situated at which place they took possession of a boundary of land, and each of them built a house. Green did not stay long. He went back to the Elk valley after selling his improvements to Shock who built a home in the land of wilderness, the land of his adoption.
In speaking of the fertility of the land in after life, Mr. Shock said that he had cultivated the land where Rosedale now stands, and raised forty consecutive crops of corn on the bottom near where the Elk and Little Kanawha depot is now located. The same land has been cultivated many years since the death of Mr. Shock. Here was the average bottom land of the Steer creek valley.
Jacob Shock never became wealthy, but was an independent liver. He had twelve children, and gave them all a comfortable start in life. His wife died on August 4, 1854. He lived twenty-two years a widower, and died at the home of his youngest daughter, Tabitha Bourn, on May 7, 1876, being nearly eighty-seven years of age. He was an honored and respected citizen, and was for many years of his latter life, a member of the M. E. Church
