Other information:

Confirmed William Henry Harrison Shasteen as son of James Shasteen S. R. and as grandson of Robert Shasteen both natives of Virginia per William Henry Harrison Shasteen bio - "A Standard History of Ross County, Ohio 1917" (ASHORC) 2 Volume set by Lyle S. Evans, hardbound, 934 pages, everynames index, pages 918-919. Note that this write up listed him as James S. R. Shasteen, perhaps indicating he was the son of Robert? Have digital copy of pages 918 and 919. Digital copies Shasteen WHH bio ASHORC Ross Co pg 918.jpg and Shasteen WHH bio ASHORC Ross Co pg 919.jpg - QUOTE: “Harrison Shasteen is one of the oldest living sons of Union Township, where he was born three quarters of a century ago, and after a long and active and honorable business career is now enjoying peaceful retirement at his home in his native township. Born March 10, 1841, he is a son of James S. R. Shasteen, a native of Virginia, and a grandson of Robert Shasteen, a native of the same commonwealth. Robert Shasteen brought his family to Ohio in 1814, when his son James was seven years of age. They settled in Ross County, and thus established a family that has had a continuous relationship with this county for more than a century. James Shasteen grew up in the county, and after reaching manhood engaged in farming. He was a resident of Union Township until his death, at the age of sixty years, while his wife passed away at the age of fifty-nine. They were the parents of two sons. One of these, Marion, was a soldier in the Union Army during the Civil war, was captured by the Confederates and died while a prisoner in Andersonville. Reared on the home farm, Harrison Shasteen left home at an early age and gained his success by relying on his own enterprise. After the war he went to Pennsylvania, spending three years in the oil fields there, but with that exception has been a resident of Ross County for almost half a century continuously. For twenty years he was grain buyer for the Mansfield Mills. Mr. Shasteen was three times married. His first wife was Nancy Minear, daughter of Solomon and Charity (Noble) Minear. Mrs Shasteen died at the age of twent-three, leaving one son, Walter. His second wife was Mary J. Rowe, a daughter of Thomas Rowe. When she passed away at the age of twenty-eight she left two children, Marion and Harry. The present Mrs. Shasteen before her marriage was Augusta Sauerbrei, a daughter of William and Len a Sauerbrei. Mr. and Mrs. Shasteen have four children: Lena, James W., John Logan and Viola. The family are members of the German Evangelical church and Mr. Shasteen is a republican. ”

The Strange Estate of Johann Ulrich Albrecht - Assumed 1866 Receivables from this man's Yellowbud store list James C. Shasteen owing $13.00 and James Shasteen, Jr. owing $12.50 in notes and William Shasteen $2.95 and James Shasteen, Jr. owing $4.50 on account at the time of his death. In all likelihood, this is James b 1807 d 1866, his son James C. b 1834 or Robert's brother James' son James b 1823. All should have been in Yellowbud in 1866. The William may have been Robert's son William b 1814/1816 d 1902 or James b 1807 son William Henry Harrison Shasteen (except that he went by Harrison) b 1841. No other likely candidates seem to be available.
