Margaret B. (SHIPLEY) COBLE told her grand-nephew, Theodore Roosevelt SHIPLEY, when he was a boy, that a big colony of the Shipleys left Tennessee just before the Civil War (they knew the war was coming). Some stopped off in Arkansas close to a place called Silome Springs. close to Calico Rock.
Grandad John Tidence Shipley came to Missouri and settled in Douglas County and later near Dora, Missouri." "The family split up over slavery. Grandad was trying to stay neutral. A band of bushwackers (led by Grandad's cousin) came up from Arkansas and took Grandad prisoner. They were takinq him back down there to hang him when he escaped from them down by Althea Springs. He was barefoot as they had taken his shoes and there was a snow on. He hid out for about two weeks. Margaret S. (SHIPLEY) COBLE was about 16 at this time, and she would take food and leave it around for him as she went after the milk cow every day." "The bushwackers came back and burnt the house down. Just gave Grandma and the kids one peck of shelled oorn for them and the old ox team to eat til they got to Horton in Douglas County, somewhere around Rice Ridge' where the women and children went to a neutralist camp. All the bushwackers let Grandma have out of the house before it burnt was just what they could haul in a two-wheel cart they gave them and the old ox team. It took three days for the trip."
"Later Grandad joined the Union Army. In later years some of the relatives in Arkansas wanted Grandad to come visit, but he wouldn't -- was bitter over them trying to hang him and didn't want to see any of them again."
