Daughter of Frederick Barbarick and Mary Elizabeth Walter, Matilda Barbarick was born in NC circa 1810. Settling in Gasconade County, MO, with her parents and siblings, Matilda/Mathilda married Uriah Shockley on 06 May 1830; she was the second wife of Mr. Shockley. His first wife was Rebecca Cox. The daughter of that marriage, Rebecca Shockley, was raised by her grandmother, Mary (Dillard) Cox, in TN after the death of her mother in 1828 or 1829. Known children of Matilda and Uriah Shockley follow: Elizabeth, David, Thomas, Barbara, Joshua, Sarah Sally, Alexander, Joseph, Isaiah, Frederick and Samuel.
Because Matilda was not present in the Uriah Shockley household of 1870, it is believed that she died prior to the 6 August 1870 date on that census. Her parents were buried in Barbarick-Goers Cemetery: her mother in 1860 and her father in 1863. Her husband was buried there in 1870. She must rest there, also.

***There was a mention of another daughter, Rutha Shockley, whose name appears in a 1987 letter between Cecil Shockley and Charles Shepperd. Charles was a direct descendant of Uriah and first wife, Rebecca, whereas Cecil Shockley was a direct descendant of Uriah and second wife, Mathilda.
In this letter, Cecil informs Charles that Rutha S. Shockley's name only appears one time as a mention in a will referencing the estate of Isaiah Shockley in 1867. If Rutha S. Shockley is Uriah and Mathilda's daughter, then we will have the names of all the 12 children.***
