He was married to Aurura, but I don't have her maiden name. My Grandmother, Bertha, was born in Lincoln County sometime around 1900-1910... Does anyone have us on their family tree? Thanks My grandfather is Martin Luther Shelton married to Aurora Eaton Shelton. They had a daughter Bertha Prudence Shelton b.23 Sep 1900 who was my aunt. You referred to a Bertha P? in your message. According to your message your great grandfather and great-grandmother are my grandparents and we are cousins. I believe this is a match and we should exchange information off the list. you can email me at [email protected]

I knew him when I was 17 and he was my first love. Just wanted to contact him and see how he is, I am now in Texas too. I know he sang an Air Supply song on his school album in Texas, he went to school in Jenks, OK to NDS testing, that's where I met him.

* * * * The Sheldon line is breaking away from our group and forming their own Sheldon DNA project. Hopefully this will bring more DNA participants into their line. I'm looking forward to their success. This DNA project is open to any male with the last name of Shelton, Skelton, Chilton or any other spelling that may have been written in records where there is some confusion. This is a cheek swab test, no needles. A kit is sent right to your home. The results take up to 6 weeks from when the kit is returned. Having your results published is optional. You can keep your results totally private. Please start with the 25 marker test as there is not enough information given in the 12 marker test to separate you out from several of the lines. To see if your DNA matches anyone who has already tested, you can order a kit here: http://www.familytreedna.com/surname_join.asp?code=D75896&special=true Thanks to one of our support testers, Tina Hall, we also have a web page that may answer some of your questions . http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~thall/dna.html The information on this page is only accurate on this particular date using information that has been received and is subject to change at any time with more and continuing information.

I remember reading somewhere that this description was included in a genealogy written by members of the Crain family, apparently as a story passed down from generation to generation. It isn't so improbable that a family could have lived in a burned-out hollow of a tree at that time. When the first settlers arrived (and even into the 1920s and possibly 1930s, there were standing trees with diameters of 6 or 8 feet. I was told that the natives had been using such burned-out (usually set afire by lightning) trees and the settlers learned the usage from them. BTW, as much as I appreciate Mr. Paludan's work, much of the history of the earliest Sheltons was received by word-of-mouth from people who were not alive at the time of the massacre. Those who were alive at the time of the massacre were mostly not alive or not in the area when the earliest settlers stopped in Shelton Laurel.

Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/wNHBAIB/2842.1.1.1 Message Board Post: For what it's worth -- Phillip Shaw Paludan in his book "Victims -- A True Story of the Civil War" about the Shelton Laurel, writes that "in the early 1790's, just after the land was taken from the Cherokees, two brothers named David and Martin Shelton came to the palce from Virginia. Martin chose to live in the burned out insides of a hollow tree. David sought more humane surroundings, but both brothers were living in the wilderness when the boundary commissioners came through in 1799...." This particular paragraph is not source cited, although the next one is. It is unclear if that citation, which has 4 separate sources, is meant to cover both paragraphs. However, this particular paragraph is rather embellished -- the "burned out insides of a hollow tree" -- which tends to suggest a specific history or remembrance that was recorded somewhere.
