DIED
Columbia Statesman, January 1, 1847, page 3 col 3On the 27th ult. [of last month], MRS. JANE, wife of Morgan Shackelford, of this county.
-------------
Jane Monroe Shackelford was the wife of Morgan Shackelford, with whom she and her children moved from Virginia to Boone County, Missouri, in approximately, 1841. According to a biography of her son Cumberland that was printed in 1884, "His mother was Miss Jane Monroe, a scion of the old Monroe family whence sprung the president of that name, to whom Mrs. Shackelford’s grandfather was first cousin."
Her birth date is said to be 1800 by other genealogists, but I have not found that date in any records.
