Trish, I just saw the message where you had asked Dee about George Shelton. I also noticed that you are in OK. I have a George Shelton ancestor, who started out in Buncombe County, NC (this is circa 1800). My Shelton line eventually moved on to Fentress County, TN, then on to Oklahoma, by 1880-1900. What time frame are you looking at, for your George Shelton? When I've found mine, his last name is also spelled "Chilton" and "Skelton" on several different census reports. If you could email me, I could see if I could help you track your's down. Christine Best, FL Bladen surnames: Kinlaw**Edwards**Allen**Hester**
