The reference on the death certificate to "Susan Freschire" as Letitia's mother is mistaken. Susannah Freshour (Americanized variant of Froschauer) was Letitia's maternal grandmother. Jesse and Susannah Cork/Caulk married in Clarksburg, Harrison County, Virginia (now West Virginia) on 1 September 1825, and migrated to Breckinridge County, Kentucky by 1830. Letitia married John M. Shellman on 15 Feb 1872 at the home of Samuel McAfee, Breckinridge County, Kentucky. The couple had at least 4 children. The informant identified on the death certificate, Carrie Elder, is Susan Carrie Shellman Elder, the eldest child of Letitia Jane Keys Shellman. Letitia is buried in the Shellman (Old Shiloh) Cemetery in Union Star, Breckinridge County, Kentucky.
