Re: SHOOK--Northwest Ohio

With the name like Lorenzo, we have to be related.My John Shook (born ca 1765 and married to Arrana Porter and Dorcas Ball) came from Baltimore area.About 1808 he migrated to Indiana.He had a son, Lorenzo Dow born June 24, 1808 in Maryland who married Mariah Ludwick.Lorenzo ended up in Ripley County, Indiana with his father.Another of John's sons was Hezekiah and he was in Hamilton County, Ohio for a year or so, then went back to Ripley County.I don't have any information on your Lorenzo, but with that odd name and the nearby locality, we must be working on the same line.
