He was born in Banbridge, County Down, Ireland; he received a good common-school education; entered the University of Glasgow, Scotland, in 1782 and was graduated in 1786; attended medical college for two years; immigrated to the United States in July 1791 and settled in Frederick County, Virginia, where he taught school. He moved to Butler County, Ohio in 1801, but then returned to Virginia and became a citizen of the United States in 1804. He returned to Ohio in 1807 and was a member of the Ohio House of Representatives between 1806 and 1827. He was elected as a Jacksonian to the 21st United States Congress (March 4, 1829 – March 3, 1831). Shields was killed through the accidental overturning of a stagecoach near Venice, Butler County, Ohio on August 13, 1831. He was interred in Venice Cemetery, Venice, Ohio. He was the uncle of U.S. Senator James Shields.
