Those who are resea rching Shipman family; I don't know if this will be of
any help or not, but I have a little on them. The Shipman's were related
to the Frizzell family in Izard County. I have:
Billy Shipman and (looks like) Peggy Shipman, had children:
Elydia L. Shipman (md. R.N. Frizzell), John, James, Polly (md. a Duke),
Liza, Nancy (md. a Hemery) Hilly, Sar ah, Lettie and Letta.
