No proof that I know of (that Paschal James S. is son of Stephen Henry Shackelford, Jr.). And very unlikely. In addition to my research, Judge Edward Smith and his brother, Hester, who combed those counties in GA year after year, thought it most likely that it was Henry Shackelford of Elbert Co.; that Joe Henry Shackelford was named in the old custom of Joseph for Hickman mother's father, and Henry for the Shackelford father of Paschal. Also, there was a Paschal family in Elbert for him he was named (maybe mother).
============================================
Paschal James Shackelford and Zadock Daniel Shackelford (per "Our Colonial Ancestors", sons of Henry Shackelford) first appeared in Jefferson County, Alabama soon after statehood.
============================================
Henry Shackleford, Jr., was set down on the muster rolls at the Mango hick Episcopal Church, in King William County, Virginia, as soon as he was sixteen years of age. The Shacklefords are found in the Episcopal Parish records, and it is most likely that Henry was baptized in the Mango hick Episcopal Church as a baby, since the church was located only three miles from the Shackleford home. However, it is believed that Henry, Jr, later became a Methodist, hence the naming of his son after the well-known Methodist evangelist of that day, Lorenzo Dow. John Jones testifies in the Henry Shackleford, Jr., pension papers that "Henry prayed and exhorted in public for many years."

Sources for Stephen Henry SHACKELFORD, Sr.:

Shackelford Clan Magazine, August 1945, p. 28 This month we have a question relative to the ancestry of one Stephen Shackelford, of Alabama. This Stephen Shackelford is said to have lived at or near Old Elyton, not far from Birmingham. He is said to have had the following children: Paschal J., Stephen, Jr, Zadock Daniel, John and Martha Ann., and probably others. We have a great deal of data of the family of Zadock D., but if any one has any data whatever of the families of Paschal J., Stephen, Jr, John, or Martha Ann, please send it along. We would also like to have the names of the parents of Stephen, Sr, and his wife.
Shackelford Clan Magazine, December 1946, p. 157 This month we are seeking information of one Peter Alexander, son of William Alexander, who is said to have married Nancy Shackelford, daughter of Henry Shackleford, who died in Elbert County, Georgia. Both William Alexander and Henry Shackelford were soldiers of the Revolution. Information of the ancestry of Henry, and the descendants of both Henry and Nancy, is desired, and will be purchased or exchanged.
Shackelford Clan Magazine, February 1947, p. 173 We are also still seeking information of the ancestry of, and data of descendants of one Stephen Shackelford, born about 1775/80, whose descendants, many of them, still live at or near Birmingham, Alabama. Was he related to the Shackelfords of Elbert County, Georgia?
Shackelford Clan Magazine, March 1947, p. 180 And this month we are again asking for more information of one Stephen Shackelford, who was born probably about 1775, and who wife was said to have been Martha, and whose children were Stephen, Jr., Paschal J., Zadock Daniel, John and Martha Ann. Paschal J. Shackelford married Betsy Hickman, and Zadock Daniel Shackelford married Nancy Croft Hickman. Martha Ann Shackelford married Peter Robertson, and all of them married in Jefferson County, Alabama, and some of the descendants live there yet. Information as to the ancestry and descendants will be very much appreciated.
Shackelford Clan Magazine, March 1948, p. 275 Stephen Shackelford is said to have lived at or near Old Elyton, not far from Birmingham. He is said to have had the following children: Paschal J., Stephen, Jr, Zadock Daniel, John and Martha Ann., and probably others.
