Shadrack Kimbrough, Jr. is the son of Shadrack Kimbrough, Sr. and Mary (maiden name unknown). In his obituary it states that he was born in Putnum Co, Georgia, but that didn't exist at the time of his birth. Tracing the counties, when they came into existence, he appears to have been born in Baldwin Co.
Here is his obituary, written by his daughter Elizabeth Frances Brogdon:
My father, Shadrack Kimbrough was born in Putnam County, Ga., October 7, 1805; and died in Tallapoosa County, Ala. May 28, 1887. He was coverted and joined the M. E. Church in early life, and remained a faithful member until his death, having been a class-leader of the old type for many years. He loved the Church and her institutions, and was always in his place to take part in her worship. He suffered much from rheumatism, and often visited with Rev. L. Dowdell, to whom after recovery, he said "I think your prayers did me more good than anything else." He was in deep sympathy with the suffering, and loved to minister to the wants of the sick and dying. When the messenger came for him, he was ready to go. Among his last words were: "There is nothing in the way. I have been preparing for this for a long time." We sorrow in hope. E. F. Brogdon
