Samuel Hunt -- on the 1850 Owen Co census has in his household = a male, Wilson age 26, a female Nancy age21, and a HAYDEN SHELTON male age 11. This Hayden Shelton I believe to be the one born 1839, my husband's gr gr grandfather, William Hayden Shelton. James Shelton and wife Mary had a dau Ruth who married a Samuel Hunt. -(according to Blue Grass Roots, Volume 18, p. 34) Does anyone know of a further connection of Hunt and Shelton -- to put Hayden Shelton into the Hunt household? According to death cert. of Wm. Hayden, his father was Frederick Shelton, of whom I have not a clue as to birth, death. I find two marriage of a Frederick Shelton, one in Lincoln Co. in 1837 to Ann Blythe, and one in Owen Co 1842 to Deodora Gillock, I don't connect these to the Frederick I'm looking for.
