Not found.
James Madison Shackelford was a ship's "captain" but of what type vessel is unknown. Pershaps, he and his wife were "at sea" during this period. Records from the Association of Maryland Pilots do not show any James Shackelford. Therefore, apparently, he was not a harbor pilot like his father. He may have been an officer or captain of a Bay vessel of some sort, or he could have been a captain of a sea-going vessel.
However, see #3 below.
