Daniel enlisted in the Union army 26 Jul 1862 and was mustered out on 2 Dec 1864. Is it possible the m. date to Sarah Ann Bradley is incorrect? Lucretia Tharp had a sister Minerva, and there is a child Minerva b. 1861; she also had a brother Perry, and there is a child Perry listed, b. 1871. Since Lucretia was named in her father's will in 1876, it appears she was still living.

Charles James Fore was born in Cumberland county, Virginia,
September 16, 1823. His father's name was Silas Fore, and his mother's name Sarah C.
(Morse) Fore, the name and ancestry being of French origin. When Charles was one
year old, his parents moved to Prince Edward county, and there continued till
1834, when the family numbering seven white members and three slaves came to
this State, and stopped in Chariton county, till the elder Fore had found a
permanent location. The latter entered a tract of land two and a half miles north
of the present site of Linneus. Mr. Fore was married October 13, 1848, to Miss Ann
Elizabeth Wills, daughter of Richard Wills, of Kentucky. They have had twelve children,
nine of whom survive at this writing.
From The Shiffletts in America by Edith Wilkinson Jameson, pub. 1965:
James Dudley Shifflett was for many years one of the leading farmers (on Parson Creek) of Linn Co. Missouri. He also held public offices as Probate Judge, and Justice of Peace for many years. He even aided the community by teaching school from 1852 to 1863. James Dudley's father - Hasten Tussey Shifflett - served in Captain Christopher Irvin's Company of Kentuckians. They fought on the Northern frontier and was present at Colonel Dudley's engagement on the River Raisin in Michigan. He joined the American Army at the beginning of the War of 1812 and took part in its most sanguinary battles. He was taken prisoner at the defeat of Colonel Dudley's troops and for some time was held as a Prisoner of War. James Dudley Shifflett never followed the flag of his country to the battlefield but during the Civil War he served nineteen months in the Home Guards.
From a county history:
Mr. Shifflett is a genuine old-timer in Missouri, and has passed the whole of his eighty-six years of life within the confines of the state. He was born in Howard County on April 18, 1825, and is a son of Hasten and Susan (Estell) Shifflett. The father was born in Virginia in 1791, and after reaching manhood farmed extensively in that state. He promptly joined the American army at the beginning of the War of 1812, and took part in several of its most sanguinary battles. He was taken prisoner at the defeat of Col. Dudley's troops and for some time thereafter languished in captivity.
About the year 1802, he left Virginia with his parents in their removal to Kentucky, whither the tide of emigration was then moving in considerable volume, and found a new home with the family on a farm in Madison county in that state. Twenty-one years later, in 1823, he moved to Missouri and took up his residence in Howard County, where he remained until 1846. In that year he changed his residence to Linn County, in the vicinity of Linneus, and there he passed the remainder of his days, dying on his farm on December 2, 1877. His remains were buried in Fore cemetery amid many manifestations of popular respect and esteem.
Mr. Shifflett was married in 1811 to Miss Susan Estell, and they became the parents of fifteen children, three of whom are still living; James Dudley, the immediate subject of this brief review, who resides with his daughter on her farm seven or eight miles north of Brookfield and about five miles due east of Linneus; Hasten Tussey, whose home is at Krum, Texas; and Lorenzo Dow, who is a resident of Arkansas. The mother died in 1872, and her remains were buried in Fore cemetery.
James D. Shifflett became a resident in Linn County in 1846, at the very dawn of his manhood and began farming on Parson creek. During the Civil War he served about nineteen months in the Home Guards, which comprises all the military service he ever saw. From 1852 to 1863 he was a teacher in the country schools of the county, and afterwards he served as judge of probate for a term of four years. After the end of his term as probate judge he served some years as public administrator, and prior to it was assessor of the North East district of the county when it was divided into four assessment districts; and from time to time, when he was occupying no other office, he has been prevailed on to accept that of Justice of the Peace.
On September 5, 1852, Mr. Shifflett was united in marriage with Miss Mary Elizabeth Pace. Eleven children were born of the union and six of them grew to maturity. Five are now living: C. H., whose home is at Milton, Iowa; Ann Eliza, who is the wife of T. H. Barbee, of Laclede, Missouri; Miss Lou, who is at present living on the home farm with her parents; Emma Elizabeth the wife of J. B. Crothers, who also resides in Laclede; and George W., who is living on and cultivating the farm.
