Peter Shook (Schuck) 1772 - 1855
Peter Shook's parentage is not at present known. There is a Mrs. Shook listed in the 1776 census of Frederick County Maryland with 2 sons that are about the right age to be Peter & a suspected brother, Walter. There is one family story of three brothers who emmigrated together, but we don't know who they were, and this Peter is probably not one of them.
Our Peter was however, instrumental in the founding of the United Brethern Church, in Frederick Co MD, about 1800. He was associated with Peter Kemp, who is considered to be the founding father of the church.
My Shooks are one of those families that have never been connected with any of the other Shook lines originating in Pennsylvania, Maryland, or Virginia. Until now.
Recent DNA testing on myself has revealed that my Peter is related to at least three other Schuck/Shooks from in and around Frederick Co Maryland, mid 1700's.
I was shown to be a perfect match (that's 37 out of 37 markers!) with a descendant of the Isaac SHUCK/SHOOK Sr.(b.c1787 MD - d.1844 OH), migrating from Washington Co. Maryland thru Penn to Ohio, married to Elizabeth WERBEL! I'm also a near perfect match (36/37 markers) with a descendant of the John Shook(b.1765 MD- aft.1850) who went from MD to Ohio then Indiana, and was married to Arrana Porter and Dorcas Ball. All these gentlemen were certainly related; father/sons, brothers, uncles/nephews, or cousins. A third match, another 36/37, which I'm in the process of verifying, is to that of Johann Philip Schuck (7 Jan 1734-24 Jan 1811), who lived in Plainfield Twp., Northampton Co. PA.
Other families with close ties to this Shook line would be Bopbst/Bobst/Bost, Schaube/Schobe/Shoup, Staley, Stull, and Ramsburg. These families are also found in Northampton Co. Pennsylvania before they moved to Frederick Co. Maryland. Some Shook descendants are buried in the cemetary next to the Kemp home in old Shook's Town, on Kemp Lane, just off Shookstown Road, Frederick Co. Maryland.
