Biographical History
James A. Shedd was born February 25, 1804, in Rindge, N.H., and died September 24, 1876, in Denmark, Iowa. He was admitted to the bar in Champaign Co., Ohio, in 1831. He later settled in Dayton, Ohio, where he practiced law and married Eunice Augusta Adams (1805-1846) in 1833, with whom he would have six children. Shedd was founding secretary of an antislavery society with 40 members organized in Dayton in March 1839. After the death of his first wife, he married Caroline Lavalette Brown (1816-1888) in Dayton in 1847. James Shedd followed his two brothers to the village of Denmark, Iowa, in 1847, which had been settled by antislavery New Englanders. His three sons served in the Union army, the youngest being killed at Vicksburg in 1863.
