Eunice E Shackford the daughter of Jeremiah J Shackford was born about Sept 1844 in Maine. We find her in the 1850 and 1860 censuses with her father, his wife Sarah (who we now believe to be his second wife), and siblings Sarah and John, Sybil, and Increase.
Eunice’s marriage on May 23, 1863 to Nathan Jellison in Waltham, Maine was announced in the Ellsworth American and The Republican Journal.
In Waltham, 23d ult., Mr. Nathan Jellison of W., and
Miss Eunice E. Shackford of Ellsworth
Nathan, a lumberman and Eunice had five children before Eunice died at the age of 31 on November 3rd in Waltham. She was buried in the Juniper Cemetery in Ellsworth, Maine. Eunice’s children who were ages 7-14 moved in with their grandfather Jeremiah some time before 1880 while their father moved to California where he married and had a second family.
CHILDREN:
Ella Jellison (1866-1896) – married George Giles
