D: June 1821 DavCoTn D: 1831 DavCoTn M: 1786 Territory South
of the River Ohio
(Dau. of Jacob Castleman, Sr. and Rhoda
Patience Robertson)
Family tradition says Morris came from Ireland to
Virginia, and so far nothing is known of the Shane Family before that
time. He came to Tennessee as a Soldier
in the Continental Line from North Carolina and received a Land Grant in
Tennessee for his services. By all
accounts he was a very colorful and brave backwoodsman. He was a part of the Kasper Mansker group
that came to now Sumner County in 1779 or 1780.
In 1783, Morris was seriously wounded by Indians on
the north side of the Duck River while returning with Capt. Wm. Pruett's
Company from a punitive expedition against the Indians. (Clayton)
(2-16-1784 DavCoTn) Preemption Warrant #291 for 640
Acres on Mansker’s Creek.
In 1786, he married Phoebe Castleman, the daughter of
Jacob Castleman, Sr., and they became the parents of 12 children. He was close to the Castleman and Buchanan
families and accompanied them on many of their exploits on the frontier. They both helped to defend the forts on the
frontier of the Cumberland Settlement. (Haywood, Clayton, Guild.)
In 1787, Morris served in the Chicamauga Campaign
according to Pay Voucher #92 for Davidson County, Tenn. (North Carolina Archive
Records)
(9-26-1791 DavCoTn, Bk. 66-53) No. Car. Grant No. 145,
for 320 Acres on Stoners Creek deeded to John Donelson.
In September of 1792, he and his wife Phoebe were
present at Buchanan’s Station for a great Indian battle, which events are
recorded in the Davidson County history books.
They both lived during extremely dangerous times and lost many of their
loved ones and friends during this time of taming the frontier. He was known as a long hunter and fierce
defender of the Cumberland Settlement.
Phoebe lost two of her brothers, Jacob, Jr. and Joseph, along with
cousin William Castleman, to the attacks of the Indians while they were out
hunting for food near Hays Station around 1791. Her uncle John Castleman, Sr.
survived the attack but was so badly wounded, he had to be dragged into the
station.
Their homeplace was located on what is today known as
Hoggett’s Ford Road on the East Side of Stones River, and their Shane Family
Cemetery is still there in 2011.
(2-25-1803 DavCoTn Bk. 2, p. 339) Will of Jacob Castleman,
Sr. . . . . “To Morris Shean I give and devise all that part of my tract of
land on Stone’s River waters which I purchased of James Robertson that lies
south of Stoners Lick Creek by the same more or less, being the same whereon
said Shean now lives, to him, his heirs and assigns forever.”
(1820 Davidson County Census)
(5-18-1821 DavCoTn Bk. 8, p. 14) Morris wrote his
Will.
(8-18-1821 DavCoTn Bk. 8, p. 24) Inventory of the
Estate of Morris.
(10-15-1823 DavCoTn Bk. 8, p. 282) Settlement of
Morris’s Estate.
(1830 DavCoTn-D-259) Phoebe a Widow, living with her
was James B., Cornelius, Rebecca and Eleanor.
(12-5-1836 DavCoTn Bk. 11, p. 109) Inventory of Phoebe
Shane’s Estate.

Phoebe.
(12-20-1837 DavCoTn Bk. 11, 331-2) Estate Settlement
after Phoebe’s death.
They are both buried in the Shane Cemetery on the
righthand side of Hoggett’s Ford Road off Central Pike in Hermitage, Davidson
Co., Tenn. In January 2008, the public
road is encroaching on their burial ground.

(1-18-1841
DavCoTn) Sam witnessed the Will of uncle James Buchanan.
(1850 DavCoTn-D-437-406)
(In 1853,
Sam wrote a letter to his brother Archibald B. Steele in Mississippi, stating
that Phoebe
and her sister Rebecca had died of Cholera. He also stated there were
ten Steele
children besides him.)
(1860
DavCoTn, CD 4, Samuel living w/son-in-law Joseph Binkley, age 78.)
Samuel and
Patience were the children of Tennessee pioneers, both born during a time
of intense
warfare with the Indians on the frontier in Middle Tennessee. The
Revolution
was just ending and the frontier still had to be tamed. They would be
considered
the middle-class working folks and led a decent life. By all accounts, they
were highly
esteemed in our entire community. Sam’s
signature appeared on quite a
few early
public documents so folks must have depended on his integrity and trust-
worthiness
quite often.

Metro Archives, Davidson County Court Loose Papers. Ca. 1880-1905.
“Be it ordered by the County Court that the portion of
the Hoggett’s Ferry Road from W. H. Binkley’s gate, 4th District,
running 90 or 100 yards in the direction of old road bed be so changed as to
protect the grave of Morris Shane, said road having diverged so far from its
original bed that it is encroaching upon his Family Grave and has already,
almost, by the cutting of the wheels of vehicles exposed the coffin of Morris
Shane and old pioneer of Davidson County.
