His sons, John, Samuel, William, Abraham, Henry B., Isaac, and two daughters are all living and married. He found the country an uninhabited region and only one or two white families between where he located and Wapakonetta. The first white families in this region were Francis Stevenson and family, Tolson Ford and family. He knew nothing of the McCluer settlement, except what was stated at subsequent meetings. The same leading Chiefs and hunters among the Shawnees of whom Mr. Stevenson speaks, also visited the Shockeys. The Shawnees accompanied the new settlers to point out and select lands. They were aware of the quality of the lands desired by the purchasers, and could point out the best selections. Mr. Shockey states that the lands upon which he now resides were thought to be excellent by the Indians. There are several fine springs, often visited by the Indians, while they made sugar from 1826 to 1832. The farm his father selected on Section 30 and now occupied by Alexander Kerr, has a fine spring of water, often resorted to during the days of the old Shawnees. Mr. Shockey found the Indians good judges of land and very kind neighbors. He has often been at their camps and their wigwams, and stayed at one Indian Cabin in Lewiston. He asked his bill the next morning, and the Indian charged nothing but seemed offended because he desired to pay for his lodging. It was always the custom of an Indian to give the alarm before entering a house. His way of gaining admittance was by first giving a sort of low whoop.
