I'm happy to make contact with you.I do know about the death of Audrey Cunningham.I've seen copies of some of her research notes, but perhaps not all.I don't believe they ever got placed in a library.
It's my belief that George was indeed the brother of my Christopher Shake.Do you have George's wife as Rachael Calloway?That is all I know about him.I have the other possible siblings as Jacob, Christian, and Margaret, but there is no definite evidence that they were such; I have not heard of a William in that generation, but I would not be surprised to find there was one.
I am very surprised to hear that the Shakes came from Virginia, as my research has planted their roots in Pennsylvania.I would like to hear the evidence for the Virginia connection, if you would be willing to share it with me.My family history text is on line at:

You'll find a large section on the Shakes there.
