_____________________________________________________________________________
The Georgians by J.H. Austin lists James as the first born in 1782 which is 20 years before the Shuman Family shows his birth. And Jordan -Woodard places his birth at Orangeburg, SC not in Georgia,

Elias Shuman
In the 1830 Census of Bryan Cty., Ga., Elias is living with hisfather and mother and brothers Elijah and Wm. Henry and sister Eliza.Brother Martin lives with wife and baby daughter a couple of housesaway.
Temple Smith
Since she was married in 1834, it seems unlikely she wasless than 14, thus the choice of this year as an approximation.
On the 1820 census of Bryan Cty., GA are Joshua Smith,Solomaon Smith, and David Smith. One of these must be Temple's father.
Elias Calvin Shuman
In the 1850 Bryan Co, GA Federal Census, Elias is staying with step-mother, Pharabee, on her farm to help out as she is very old and frail.
Elias was in the Civil War. He was in Co. B, 61st Regiment, Georgia Volunteer Infantry, Army of Northern Va., Tattnall Rangers. He was in the Civil War having inlisted on 8-31-1861 and died in 1862 in Virginia.
George Henry Shuman
1830 Bryan Co, GA Federal Census:
1 White Male 20-30 (George)
1 White Female 15-20 (sarah)
2 male slaves 5-10
1 female slave 36-55
1840 Bryan Co, GA Federal Census: George is now 30-40.
1850 Bryan Co, GA Federal Census:
36 196 196 Shuman Geo. H. 62 M W Planter 1,000 Ga
37 196 196 Shuman Sarah Ann 30 F W Ga
38 196 196 Shuman Martha J. 19 F W Ga
39 196 196 Shuman Henry H. 15 M W Ga
40 196 196 Shuman Henry F. 11 M W Ga X
41 196 196 Shuman George H. 9 M W Ga X
42 196 196 Shuman Elvy Ann 6 F W Ga
1 196 196 Shuman William 17 M W Ploughman Ga
2 196 196 Shuman James E. 7 M W Ga
3 196 196 Shuman Kelsey Ann M. 6/12 F W Ga
George is listed as 62 here but that is not in keeping with the two previous census records and appears to an error. Similarly, Sarah Ann is listed as 30 which would mean she gave birth to Martha when she was 11 which is highly unlikely. The numbers are probably meant to be 42 and 40 respectively.
_____________________________________________________________
Carolyn Barbar Jarrad's book notes that he was living in Meldrim, Effingham Co, GA when he died, where his will is probated.
Sarah Ann
The 1830 Census of Bryan Cty. Ga. shows George living with a white female betw. 15-20. This must be Sarah.
James E. Shuman
James is staying with William Wiley Shuman and familysince both his parents have died in the last four years. Sisters,Helsyann and Elvy Ann, are with other families. They were all splitup.
James Ser ed in the Civil War according to ShumanGeneology.
John William Butler
John(29) and Martha(29) have a fine farm valued at $700and net worth of $1385. They have, at this time, the followingchildren: William G.(8), Horace(6), and Harmon(1). Daughter, Emma(3),should be here but is not. They are next to the family of WilliamStrickland on one side and James Lewis on the other side.
It appears this is the same John William Butler whomarried Sarah Ann Shuman on 10-11-1877, a year after Martha JaneShuman died.

William Anderson Shuman
1860 Bryan Co, GA Federal Census:
Anderson(25) and Susan(24) have a fine farm valued at $600and net worth of $1180. There are no children yet as they have onlyrecently married. They are living next door to cousin James S. Shuman,son of John Martin Thomas Shuman, Anderson's uncle.
Susan Gibson
Anderson(25) and Susan(24) have a fine farm valued at $600and net worth of $1180. There are no children yet as they have onlyrecently married. They are living next door to cousin James S. Shuman,son of John Martin Thomas Shuman, Anderson's uncle.
This could be Susan Shuman (# 314)
Adeline is on the 1870 Bryan Cty. census with Andrew Jackson Englishand his wife Susan Gibson. But the Southern Marriage record show SusanSHUMUN married A.J. English. I think this shows that Susan Gibsonmarried a Shuman by whom she had Adeline. That fellow died and Susanthen married Andrew by whom she had several other children.
