According to the 1850 Southern District, Pickens County, Alabama census, John Hillen and Louisa Shockley had a son named James William O. A. Shockley who was 8 months old when the census was taken on 8 December 1850. So that would make his birthday in April 1850. His name also appears in the 1860 Corrs, Pickens County, Alabama census and he was ten years old. That was the last census record I have found for him.
