My Shoemaker clan is closely allied with the Vanderpools and I was told we were of Dutch-German heritage. The first record I have is William Riley Shoemaker 1775-1847 born in Maryland and died in Virginia, married Phebe Ann Spencer. One child Jacob 1816-1902 (in Kentucky) who married Katherine E. Kaiser and had a son Andrew. Andrew 1845-1934 married Margaret Evelyne Baker and fathered David Thomas 1872-1928 (South Lebanon, OH). David was my grandfather. He married my grandmother, Phoebe Evaline Vanderpool and they lived in the Fincastle, Lee Co., KY area.. My mother was Laura Emily Shoemaker Newton. I have more concise dates and other children's names on some of these if you are interested.

My Shoemaker family lived in Rockingham County, Virginia, Brock's Gap and Fulk's Run area.

Hey Claude,

If Shuman/Schumann/Shewman are rooted in Shoemaker (or reverse) then I would say yes. I have not seen a relationship with these names, however. Honestly though, it may be more advantageous to you to create a separate group for these names. cv

My mother's maiden name is Shoemaker. I have traced the family back to the early 1800's. Family tradition has it that the family is of German origin and the name was spelled Shumacher. Still researching.
