William Jesse Shields and his wife, Sarah Ellen Shields, were distant cousins, he being descended from Richard Shields of the 10 Brothers and she from Robert of the 10 Brothers. The tombstone at Middle Creek Methodist Church Cemetery near Sevierville, Tennessee shows his name as Jesse W. and hers as Sarah E., but Dr. A. Randolph Shields reports he was William Jesse.
Sarah's gravestone identifies her as "Sarah E. Shields, Wife of Jesse W. Shields." Dr. A. Randolph Shields refers to Sarah as Sarah Catherine and her husband as William Jesse.
Dr. Shields says that, with the marriage of William Henry Harrison Shields to Sarah's mother, Emily Ellen Adams Shields, Sarah became her mother's stepdaughter-in-law. William Henry Harrison Shields was second cousin, stepfather and father-in-law to Sarah.

Served in the Mexican War as a second sergeant in Company A, Second Regiment, Tennessee Volunteer Infantry. When he was mustered in 11 June 1846, he received a New Testament as a gift from the last surviving Revolutionary War veteran in Knox County. He was discharged 1 September 1846 at Matamorros, Mexico as a result of illness.
John Tipton Shields preferred politics to farming and was elected revenue collector for Sevier county in 1856.
When the Civil War started, he helped organize a company of men to go to Louisville, Kentucky to join the Union Army. When they arrived at Louisville, John was rejected because a chest cold was mistaken for consumption. He went to relatives in Indiana and "read medicine" for a time with a kinsman. When he returned to Tennessee, he was considered a doctor.
He spent the remainder of his life traveling among friends and relatives in Cocke, Jefferson and Sevier Counties, Tennessee, doctoring, preaching or teaching school. Considered well educated for the time, he was a good conversationalist, although he was outspoken and was considered by some to be eccentric for such things as eating onions for breakfast.
Although reared in a Baptist family, he eventually became an elder in the United Brethren Church.
He rose from captain to brigadier general in the Tennessee militia. Christine Brown says he was a brigadier general at the time the Civil War broke out but tells also of his rejection at Louisville for suspected consumption.
