Blant (the spelling shown on the death certificate) was a son of John Blant (or Blanchard) Shacklett (1810-1867) and Eliza (Shacklett) Shacklett (1812-1866) of Meade County, Kentucky. A marker was found for Eliza Shacklett at the old High Ground Cemetery At Hill Grove in Meade County, Kentucky where her mother is buried and John Blant Shacklett's parents are buried.
This unusual name, Blant, actually comes from his female ancestor Sarah Blancette, who married Benjamin W. Shacklett, and were both born in France way back in 1710. This information goes on to say that Benjamin was the first Shacklett of this family to arrive in the American Colonies, several years before the American Revolution. A variation of this name, Blancet, Blancit, etc., was carried on generally as a first name by male family members, and as a middle name by some female members. Note that Blant D. Shacklett shown here has a grandson, John Blant Pilkington, buried at nearby Burrton Cemetery, Harvey County, Kansas.
Blant Daniel Shacklett was a brother to Richard H. Shacklett (1841-1914) of Burrton, Kansas and Ben Shacklett of Meade County, Kentucky. If there were other children, they are unknown to this writer at this time. Richard H. Shacklett is buried at Burrton Cemetery, Harvey County, Kansas, with his wife.
Blant Daniel Shacklett was a Confederate soldier during the Civil War joining Company B of the 12th Texas Cavalry early after the outbreak of the war and received his honorable discharge on May 13, 1865.
Blant D. Shacklett was married to Ann Raley Wimp in Meade County, Kentucky on Jan. 22, 1868.
In the spring of 1873, Blant and Ann Shacklett traveled from Meade County, Kentucky to the Patterson area of Harvey County, Kansas with the James A. Wimp and Joseph B. Fulton families. Note that Blant's wife was a sister to Joseph Fulton's wife (Margaret) as well as a sister to James A. Wimp. James A. Wimp and wife Jemima E. Barnes are also buried at Star Cemetery while Joseph B. Fulton, wife Margaret and several of their children are buried at Hillside Cemetery located just east of the town of Sedgwick, Kansas.
From the Burrton Graphic, dated June 1, 1916;
"Mr. Blansid Daniel Shacklett was born in Mead county, Kentucky, on December 12, 1835; died near Patterson on May 23, 1916, age 80 years, 5 months and 11 days.
He was married to Miss Annie Wimp in Kentucky on January 22, 1868. He moved from Kentucky to Sedgwick, Kansas, in 1873 and from there to near Patterson where he remained until his death.
To this union three children were born, two of which survive him; Mr. W. H. Shacklett of Burrton and Mrs. Fannie Pilkington of Burrton.
Mr. Shacklett joined the Confederate Cavalry of Texas early after the out-break of the Civil war and discharged his duty as a faithful soldier for his country. He received a honorable discharge on May 13, 1865.
He was a law abiding and up-right citizen. He professed a hope in Christ in 1870 and joined the Missionary Baptist church and was baptized by Elder Row. He lived an exemplary and consistent Christian life until the end. His favorite song was 'How Firm a Foundation.' Surely it may be said of him, 'Blessed are the dead that die in the Lord.' Rev. 14: 13.
The friends and neighbors extended to the bereaved widow and children their heart-felt sympathy as we laid him to rest in the cemetery. F. H. Southall, Baptist Pastor, Patterson."
Neither Blant D. Shacklett or his wife Ann R. Wimp have inscribed markers at this time (2006), but their death certificates indicate that they were buried at Star Cemetery (Blant D. Shacklett buried May 24, 1916, Ann Raley Shacklett buried June 9, 1917).
As to the location of Blant and Ann's gravesites, there is no record of anyone with last name of Shacklett buying a burial plot at Star Cemetery. However, there are two fieldstones located on either side of their daughter Juliet's marker. Juliet died in January of 1880. Juliet's husband was George McMurry, the person listed as purchasing the lot at Star Cemetery. McMurry family history states that following Juliet's death, George McMurry moved to Oklahoma, died in 1900 and was buried there in Oakwood Memorial Cemetery in Dewey County (see George McMurry's memorial on Findagrave). Therefore, neither of the two fieldstones located on each side could represent George McMurry's marker. Juliet died of pneumonia following the birth of their first child. The infant also died and has a small white marker located behind Juliet's headstone.
