Thought I'd ask here because I've seen Samuel Shelton and Prudence Miller as possible connections. My tree has a Lenora Elizabeth Shelton, b. abt 1870, d. abt 1894, both in Tebbetts, Callaway County, Missouri. She married Braddock B. Beasley when she was about 16, Mar 16, 1887. She had two daughters, Lottie and Ethel, and died in childbirth. I've found a few possible candidates in census records but nothing conclusive. One of the more likely candidates is an Elizabeth Shelton, b. 1870, daughter of Samuel Wayne/Wade Shelton (who was son of the above mentioned Samuel Shelton of Franklin Co). Does anyone have a Lenora/Nora/Elizabeth Shelton in their tree that could be this person? Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.

Sorry for being too vague, Gloria In the mid 1820's when McMinn was first settled John Shelton is found next door to John Scrimsher in east McMinn. He's married to the dtr of John Scrimsher....Elizabeth. Their dtr, Anna, married Josiah Childers, Jr. Josiah and Anna's dtr gave testimony year later that John Shelton was a doctor and came into McMinn with his brother who was also a doctor.
