This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/UeB.2ACI/1671.1845.1849.1.2 Message Board Post: I posted a reply to this message but, somehow, did not attach it to this e-mail so you will not be notified. That message is on this Board under the heading of "William Shelton". The David referred to here held to be descended from a Peter Chilton of Middlesex County, VA, with some of his records being recorded as Chelton and Shelton. The David in Fairfield, South Carolina, is the son of Samuel Shelton of Albermarle County, VA, who was brother to the John Shelton who married Eleanor Parks. Their father was John Shelton, documented to have died in 1725, at "Rural Plains", Hanover County, VA. Please read the message I posted on William Shelton to see details of David's son William. I asked if anyone had data which showed that William Shelton moved back and forth between North Carolina and South Carolina. I see this statement posted frequently on the genealogy sites but I have not yet seen the documentation which shows this. William is in the 1850 Haywood County, NC, census and also in the 1830 Haywood County, NC, census. In 1830 William Shelton, Esq. was in Union County and probably was the son of David. If you have data on William's moves to and from NC which you would have the time to share, this would be extremely helpful. Thank you.
