Shields and Knoxs were connected and some later moved to MO. Members of the Knox & Shields were noted in the "Shakers of OH", a Shaker journal. Some of them were involved in the movement in KY.
Moved north across Ohio River onto land on Eagle Creek in what then was Adams County, later to become Brown County, Ohio. He moved to Missouri by August 1844.
Per Vicki Knox Larson, Ancestry.com, Find a Grave 1/15/2011:
Robert was 9 years old when his family joined the Shakers. It is not known when he left the community, but he married Jemima Ann Shields on November 18 1819, in Brown Co., Oh. This was after his mother and father, John and Esther Luckey Knox had died. It is not known where his parents were buried as they were with the Shaker community. There were journal entries, however, that gave John Knox`s death date as Nov 10, 1815 and Esther Luckey Knox`s death date as September 8, 1814. It is believed they died at West Union Village, Knox Co., IN.
DOB could be 7/4/1796 per PANGBURN family bible. Robert`s sister Nancy married a PANGBURN."

They became located in Eastern Indiana at an early days lived there until 1844 and they settled in this county and township, here spending the remainder of their lives. Twelve children were in their family; they were recognized as industrious, kind-hearted people, and bore their part of the hardships and privations of pioneer life without flinching, and to them, among others, is due the credit for opening the way to civilization hereabouts.
