Shackelford's

I don't have any pictures of my great-grand-parents on the Shackelford side, but I do have some history. Mama's grand-father's name was Robert Lee Shackelford. Born 10/14/1866, died 7/7/1934. His first wife was Susan Canzady Sellers Shackelford. Born 2/19/1870, died 4/24/1908. She was only 38 yrs. old when she passed away. They were married on 12/2/1888 in B'ham, Ala. They had 7 children. Lee, Skyler known as Moon, Jesse Issac, Nan, Eva, Theodore and Julia.
After Susan passed away he was widowed 13 months when he married Barbara Hamilton on 5/27/1909. She was born in 1867 and died 2/3/1932. They had no children between them but she loved and raised his children as if they were her own. They lovingly called her 'Ms. Bob'.
