Person:James Shores (8)

No record of James SHORES in found in Somerset County subsequent to his listing in the 1821 will of Levin SHORES. The author assumes he moved from the State seeking greater opportunities and has discovered a James SHORES residing in Ohio at the time of the 1840 US census of the approximate correct age and birth in Maryland to be the James SHORES who was the son of Levin. More investigation is needed to establish this possibility.
