Shockeysville is an unincorporated community in northern Frederick County, Virginia, United States.

Shockeysville is located at the junction of Shockeysville (VA 671) and Holiday (VA 691) Roads on Winding Ridge southwest of Shockeys Knob (1,873 feet/571 meters) on Sleepy Creek Mountain.

As payment for his care, Daniel and Mary Dailey deeded 358 acres of land to Elizabeth for her sole use.

General George Armstrong Custer was in charge of all the Union Cavalry in the Valley Regions.

Families of Luttrells, Whitacres, Clarks, Horns, DeHavens, Lamps, Nesmiths and others moved in around her land.

A dozen houses, a general store, blacksmith shop, grist mill and farm buildings were built within sight of the present day Church.

The present day Shockey Time Capsule Monument and the old foundation are there as the house burned in 1976 while being remodeled.

During the Great Depression of the 1930s, most of the Shockeysville people moved to Winchester or Martinsburg to find work.

Some stayed like Naomi Shockey (Aunt Maggie) who lived in the house southeast of the church.

This area is part of the 5 acres purchased by the Shockey Family Memorial Fellowship.

Aunt Maggie was getting up in years and was afraid that God would not be able to hear the small congregation sing and worship.

He bought a bell from Clearspring, Maryland High School which had collapsed during a storm.

Shockeysville Church bell still rings calling people to worship and Shockey reunion meetings to order.

I came along in 1951, the 18th child of Harry Lee and Annabell (Mason) Luttrell; ten boys and eight girls.

The church core consisted of Mom, Dad, Burt Mason, husband of Rostella B.

(Aunt Bea) Shockey Mason, Eva (Luttrell) Shaver, Marvin Shaver, Dorothy (Luttrell) Naismith, her husband, Roy Naismith and their family members.

My parents and oldest sister Violet (Luttrell) Moyer's old stories got me interested in family, local and church history.

My father, Harry Luttrell was just able to get the horse stopped as it put its head right through the screen door.

Rostella (Aunt Bea) (Shockey) Mason became Church Treasurer for more than fifty-five years."

Grandfather wanted all the men to go home and get their guns and go over the mountain to stop the Japanese.

Being ahead of his time, Grandfather Place was not around four years later when the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor, Hawaii on December 7, 1941."

Getting my brothers, family members, and anybody who would help, we started remodeling the church by painting the outside.

Ralph Shockey Sr, came and wanted to know how the newly formed Family reunion could help.

From that day forward, the Shockeys, Luttrells, Naismiths, Masons and others with fundraisers and yard parties, we worked to make Shockeysville better.

Siding was put on the church, a new roof installed, new bell tower enclosure, a well, chain link fence, dozens of small painting and repair jobs, storm windows and more.

Elizabeth, John, Aunt Maggie Shockey and many others would be proud to know that we are moving forward.
