Barbara:
My father, John William Shanabrook, was born in Fredericktown, Ohio in 1913.He passed away in April of 1997.
His father was Willis Shanabrook. Willis was married to Clara Zolman of Palmyra, Ohio.I never knew Willis and Clara since they both passed away in 1925.My father spoke of his father having two brothers.Evidently the family came from Philadelphia, PA. He knew one uncle who lived in King of Prussia, PA.His name was Park or Parker. My father referred to him only as his uncle Park.Park had two daughters.Their names I do not know.The third brother was never mentioned.I do know that my father lived in north Canton until the death of his parents.He moved back to Fredericktown and graduated from Fredericktown High School in 1932.I'm wondering if Marshall may be the third brother.I'm on a passionate search to find information on the Shanabrooks.Please reply if you have further information. I will definitely keep in touch.
One more thing.I think my father - on the Shanabrook side -was related to the Strebys and Franks of Fredericktown in some way.Also, Robert Levering(deceased - former Congressman)was a close cousin through Robert's father's mother - I believe. Usher and Roberta are Robert's son and daughter.I believe they both live in Fredericktown.Usher is the director, or something official of the Fredericktown Historic Society. Roberta is a lawyer I believe practicing in Mount Vernon.
