David Shimp and Amanda Hitchner

David Shimp (25 March 1854 - 26 July 1930) is the son of David Shimp and Mary Jane Johnson

Amanda Hitchner (January 1861 - 1929) may be the daughter of George Hitchner and Mary Johnson but more research is needed to verify that. 

David and Amanda were married on 18 March 1879 in UAC, Salem, NJ and they had 3 children:
   1. Henrietta (Etta) C Shimp (18 March 1881-30 October 1937)
   2. George Hitchner Shimp (14 January 1886-28 August 1965)
   3. Emma Shimp (born 11 Dec 1889)
   4. Joel Schafeler (foster son) can be found on the 1910 and 1915 census records
The family can be found on numerous US and NJ census records. Both are buried in the Friesburg Emanuel Lutheran Church Cemetery in Friesburg, Salem, NJ
A granddaughter named Caroline Shimp (born about 1914) lived with them on the 1920 and 1930 censuses. I am not sure who she is. More research is needed.

      Henrietta (Etta) Shimp (18 March 1881-30 October 1937) married Frank Bitters Elwell (8 May 1883-11 September 1964) about 1905. Frank Elwell is the son of David Elwell and Lillian. Henrietta and Frank are buried in the Canton Baptist Cemetery in Canton, Salem, New Jersey.
      They had 8 children:
         1. Kenneth Elwell (12 Aug 1906 - July 1968)
         2. David Elwell (b 1909)

         5. Herbert F Elwell (29 June 1915 - January 1931)
         6. Horace C Elwell (19 October 1917 - April 1980) married Lillian ?

         5. born about 1929
         6. born about 1934

      Emma Shimp (born 11 December 1889) -- I have found information that leads me to believe that Emma married Walter Allen and that both passed away in 1919. However more research is needed to verify this information.
