Licking County Census Records for 1820, 1830,1840, 1850. Johnstown, Monroe Towship, Licking County, Cemetery Records, Greenlawn Cemetery Records, Licking County Historical Society. The History of Licking County states, "The Baptist Church of Johnstown was organized in 1839 by F.R. Freemen. Original members were...(Maria) Barbara Shoemaker..." Pg. 355. Christopher and Maria Barbara (Keller) Shoemaker were early settlers of Licking County, Ohio. They settled near Johnstown in Monroe Township. An earlier attempt at the family history mistakenly listed Christopher Shoemaker as being born in France and Marie Barbara Keller in Holland. This was incorrect as their youngest daughter Pauline Pyles stated in the 1880 census her father was born in New York and her mother in Pennsylvania. The youngest daughter Pauline was incorrectly listed as being married to Joel Pyles. He was her son, not her husband.
