The Shockey Chronicles
Descendants of Christopher Shockey (Johann Christophel Schacke) (1714- 1796), who was born in the Palatinate area of Germany and came to America in 1737. He landed in Philadelphia on Sept. 10, 1737 and took the oath of allegiance on that day. He later owned land in Cumberland Co., Pennsylvania and Frederick Co., Maryland, which be- came Washington Co., Maryland in 1776. Christopher Shockey and his first wife Barbara (d. ca. 1772) had nine children: 1. Valentine (ca. 1735-1810), married Barbara Bixler (b. 1739); 2. Elizabeth (b. 1738); 3. John (b. ca. 1740); 4. Barbara (b. ca. 1745; 5. Magdalena (b. ca. 1747), married Philip Stombaugh (b. ca. 1745); 6. Jacob (ca. 1749-1810), married Anna Freed; 7. Isaac (ca. 1752- 1801); 8. Abraham (1755-1816), married Margaret (1763-1850; 9. Christian (1756-1829), married Mary Welsh (1757-1844). Christopher married ca. 1773 (2) Anna Maria. He had one child with her, Samuel Christian Shockey born 1774. Anna Maria had one daughter before her marriage to Christopher, Catherine, born 1768. She went by the name of Shockey. She married John Smith (1767-1807). Descendants live in Maryland, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Kansas, Indiana, Virginia and elsewhere.
Tarawa
In the summer of 1943, at the height of World War II, battles were exploding all throughout the Pacific theater. In mid-November of that year, the United States waged a bloody campaign on Betio Island in the Tarawa Atoll, the most heavily fortified Japanese territory in the entire Pacific. They were fighting to wrest control of the island to stage the next big push toward Japan—and one journalist was there to chronicle the horror. Dive into war correspondent Robert Sherrod’s battlefield account as he goes ashore with the assault troops of the U.S. Marines 2nd Marine Division in Tarawa. Follow the story of the U.S. Army 27th Infantry Division as nearly 35,000 troops take on less than 5,000 Japanese defenders in one of the most savage engagements of the war. By the end of the battle, only seventeen Japanese soldiers were still alive. This story, a must for any history buff, tells the ins and outs of life alongside the U.S. Marines in this lesser-known battle of World War II. The battle itself carried on for three days, but Sherrod, a dedicated journalist, remained in Tarawa until the very end, and through his writing, shares every detail.
High-Pressure and Low-Temperature Physics
High pressure science is a rapidly growing diverse fi. e1d. The high pressure technique has become a powerful tool for both the study and preparation of materials. In spi. te of the many high pressure conferences held in recent years, I felt that there was a need for scientists within a well-defined area (not bound merely by the common experimental technique) to meet in an atmosphere conducive to frank exchange and close interaction. In this spirit, the Cleveland State University hosted such a conference from July 20 to 22, 1977, in which the physics of solids under high pressures and at low tempera tures was specifically examined. Both the original and review papers presented at the confere...
Materials Science in Static High Magnetic Fields
Presents the most comprehensive review of the influence of highly intense magnetic fields on materials of various classes.
Neutron Scattering from Magnetic Materials
Neutron Scattering from Magnetic Materials is a comprehensive account of the present state of the art in the use of the neutron scattering for the study of magnetic materials. The chapters have been written by well-known researchers who are at the forefront of this field and have contributed directly to the development of the techniques described. Neutron scattering probes magnetic phenomena directly. The generalized magnetic susceptibility, which can be expressed as a function of wave vector and energy, contains all the information there is to know about the statics and dynamics of a magnetic system and this quantity is directly related to the neutron scattering cross section. Polarized neu...
The Rare Earths in Modern Science and Technology
The Fifteenth Rare Earth Research Conference was held June 15-18, 1981 on the Rolla campus of th.e University of Missouri. The conference was hosted by the Graduate Center for Materials Research, the College of Arts and Science, and the School of Mines and Metallurgy. It was expected that the conference would provide a forum for critical examination and review of the current and important trends in rare earth science and technology. To this end, over 170 papers were presented in both oral and poster sessions by researchers representing some nineteen countries. The program committee was particularly gratified to see the diversity of effort being devoted to rare earth research by different dis...
