Sandie, here is some info on Pardon Thornton Shorkley (and thanks for giving his middle name, which I didn't have).
Pard was born in 1833 or 1834 (sources differ), son of James C. Shorkley and Julia A. (Shorkley). He served in Company E, 9th Regiment Artillery (Heavy), New York Volunteers according to the list for Scipio Rural Cemetery. Pard married Alice M. Rumsey, daughter of Reuben Rumsey and Sarah Johnson, ca. 1871 and was father of Freddie (died young), Glenn A., and George E. Shorkley. Glenn and George were well-known Scipio residents. Pard died in 1907 after a life as a farmer, as well as a carpenter and joiner. Interestingly, the 1875 Atlas map shows Pard living where the Scipio Town Office is presently located!
