Richard Shifflett

2. poss. the Blan Shiflett b.c.1763 d. bef. Jan 1827, Albemarle Co. m. bef. 1784 Bruck (formerly read as Rincel). I place this Blan here, as child of Richard and Mary, because we have so little info on Blan and Bruck or their children. Blan's early death would explain the lack of information, but this Blan with wife Bruck and the children proved to be theirs, could certainly be the descendants of one of the other earlier Shiflets. AT THIS POINT IN TIME, circumstantial evidence supports the Bland who m. Bruck (formerly read as Rincel) as being the same man as the Bland who m. Vina.
