Mr. Shock, was the son of John and Mary Shock, and was born in Fayette county, Kentucky, October 8th, 1800. He came to Howard county, Missouri, in 1820, and to Boone county, in the spring of 1822. He was married August 7th, 1823, to Miss Cynthia, daughter of Martin Gibson. Thirteen children, eight boys and se girls, were born of this union, named: John M., James H., Hawkins G., William T., David H., George W., Robert L., Walter C, Zerelda A., Martha E., Rebecca, Mary C. and Laura A. Mr. Shock settled in 1825 on the farm occupied at this writing by his widow and two sons, David H. and William T. His death occurred March 18, 1880. He was deacon of the Old Rocky Fork Baptist church for many years, and raised a large and exemplary family. Only one — Mary C. — of these children has died up to this time. All the sons reside in Boone county, but one — Hawkins — who lives in Oregon. Mrs. Shock is a member of the church of which her husband was so long deacon, she having been a communicant of that congregation about 44 years.
