I’ve encountered conflicting information about the Samuel Shillito gunsmiths of McConnellsburg and Chambersburg, Pennsylvania that has been published in various gun collecting books. To reduce my own confusion, I put together some detailed Shillito biographical information that is based largely on contemporaneous 1800s and early 1900s documents, and put it online here: https://korns.org/gunsmiths/Samuel-Shillito-5232025/Samuel-Shillito-5232025.html (https://korns.org/gunsmiths/Samuel-Shillito-5232025/Samuel-Shillito-5232025.html)
If you have copies of any other Samuel Shillito-related documents from the 1800s and early 1900s, please let me know.
