Samuel Shields married and had two children. He later separated from his wife and was spoken of as "the only Shields known to prove unfaithful to his marriage vows." It is thought that he went to Illinois with Joseph Shields in 1836 or 1837.
Richard B. Groharing, after research in "Shields Family" by John Arthur Shields; "Shields Genealogy" by Mary O. Derrick Coleman, published by Fulton County (Indiana) Historical Society, Library of Congress No. 79-52664; 1820 Jennings County, Indiana Census by Steve Shields; "Genealogy of Samuel Shields, A Pioneer Settler in Edgar County, Illinois" by Howard L. Jones; and research by Wayne L. Shields of Parsons, Kansas, writes:
"In his book 'Shields Family,' 1917, John Arthur Shields commented, 'We know very little of Samuel. He separated from his first wife in Indiana and went to Illinois and later to Missouri, and he and his descendants, if he ever had any, have been lost to the rest of the family.' Shields placed Samuel as the second child of William and Margaret.
"Subsequent research has shown that he indeed moved from Jennings County, Indiana to Edgar County, Illinois, but prior to the time his daughter Elizabeth married there 6 December 1827. His youngest son, Jesse, was born in Edgar County, Illinois in 1828. His wife Susannah is shown in both the 1840 and 1870 censuses of Edgar County. At this point in time (1998), it seems that Coleman's damning indictment of him could be no more than a family myth, a half-truth at best; or an embellishment of John Arthur Shields' comment. Or perhaps a combination of all those things. When both Coleman and Shields wrote, they didn't have the name of his wife or easy access to the census records. An analysis of the 1820 Jennings County, Indiana census reveals much about Samuel's family at that time and confirms other independent research.
"In the 1920s, John A. Shields made more inquiries and concluded that Samuel had not left his family in Indiana but had moved them to Illinois.
"On the other hand, Samuel probably left his wife and family after the move to Illinois, as he doesn't appear in the subsequent census records. The 1830 census of Edgar County shows William Shields, not yet 20 years old, as the head of a family that apparently includes himself, his three brothers, his mother (Susannah) and two younger sisters. One of William's grand daughters stated that William had raised the family consisting of this brothers and sisters because his father (Samuel) ran away and was never heard from again."
