I do not know if they are one and the same but I will list the data. Mastin M. Shelton was the son of Stephen Shelton died 1822 Pittsylvania County, VA, son of Armistead Shelton died 1844 Pittsylvania County, VA, son of Crispin Shelton died 1794 Pittsylvania County, VA, son of Ralph Shelton, d. 1733, Middlesex County, VA, who is recorded as a headright of Thomas Meriwether in Essex County in 1702, meaning that Ralph arrived in the Colony of Virginia about 1702. Mastin M. Shelton married Polly Shelton in Pittsylvania County in 1827 in Pittsylvania County, recorded in Pittsylvania County Marriage Register, page 89. Polly signed her own certificate which means she was at least 21 years of age at the time of the marriage zand some sources give her proper name as Mary L. Shelton. She was the daughter of Young Shelton, son of Daniel Shelton, Sr., uncle of Armistead Shelton, father of Stephen Shelton who was father of Mastin M. Shelton.

Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/wNHBAIB/2976 Message Board Post: If you are referring to the book entitled The Sheltons of England and America by Mildred Cambell Whitaker, perhaps you should know that the genealogy in this book has been totally refuted. This book can only be used if one has a sufficiently wide background in Shelton genealogy to weed out the erroneous parts. This is not a book to be used by a beginner. When Mrs. Whitaker published her theory on Shelton genealogy -- that all persons in the Colony of Virginia who were name Shelton, Chilton, Chelton and Skelton were actually Shelton because people didn't know how to spell their surname --- in the genealogy journal, The William & Mary Quarterly, the Chilton and Skelton families very quicky published information which discredited Mrs. Whitaker's work. The death knell of Mrs. Whitaker's theory/book is the Shelton-Chilton-Skelton DNA database, the results of which are posted on the Rootsweb Shelton Mailing List. Sheltons, Chiltons and Skeltons have submitted DNA tests and no Shelton line matches Chiltons or Skeltons. There are also a number of individual Shelton lines. If you want to check this out, the results for May have just been posted.

I am curious if they are relation or just a namesake of friendship. Also, on Teri Pettit's Rowan Co Ky pages, it says Mary Shelton married an Adkins sometime before 1868, does anyone know who this Adkins man was? Thanks. Glenda Palmer [email protected]
