ROSCOE G SHAPLEIGH was the son of Levi Jenness and Mary Ann (Lovewell)
Shapleigh, born ca 1842 in Eliot, Maine [Descriptive Roll]. He died 31 Dec 1880, perhaps
in Macon, GA [Old Kittery, p725; NEHGR v95 p330]. His burial place is unknown, perhaps
located in his Georgian residence.
Roscoe is seen just prior to the war in Boston, MA, working as a clerk [1861 Street Dir, p397]. He was a resident of East Boston during 1868, still occupied as a clerk [Boston St Dir, p525]. During the 1870 census, he was living with his brother Jeremiah in Eliot. By 1880, he had removed to Bibb County, Georgia [1880 census]. His brother Levi had also moved there, himself also previously living in Boston.
Though a certificate of marriage intent was filed in the record books of the town of Eliot on 1 Dec 1863, to a Miss Annette C Dixon of Eliot, they never married according to a note written in same source [Eliot VR cd p158/862]. He was listed as single in 1880 census.
