John R. Shinn's parents were John Shinn and Elizabeth Asay of Burlington Co., New Jersey.  It is from this point on that the family is documented in the book The History of the Shinn Family in Europe and America.  I have a copy of the book and am willing to do look-ups in it, you can also find it online in various places in its entirety.
