This DNA project is open to any male with the last name of Shelton, Skelton, Chilton, Sheldon 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.

Looking for parents and siblings. Richard Shelton married Frances/ Fanny Barnett in about 1807 in the area of Stokes Co., North Carolina where the Barnetts own a mill by about 1813. Fanny's parents were William and Frances/ Fanny Jones Barnett who settled near Leaksville, North Carolina.. The Barnetts are from Louisa Co. , Virginia as well. Did you find the parents of James Shelton who married Letittia Duggins? My line is living in Greensboro, NC when Richard and Fanny Shelton die in the 1840's but the children do not move on until after this time. Some of the families that the children marry: Gillispie, Young, Davis, Chapman. I am descended from Damaris L. Shelton Chapman. She married John H. Chapman, a furniture maker from Huntsville, Yadkin Co., NC in 1852. My Shelton cousin did the DNA test for Sheltons and we were placed in the maroon group that is classified as New Kent Co., V! irginia. Louisa Co. Virginia was formed from New Kent County in 1720 . We believe the mother of Richard Shelton was a Winston but we are unable to document this. I am open to any suggestions. <[email protected]> My sister: <[email protected]>

This man appears in the records as Chilton, Chelton and Shelton over the next 30 years. Three of his sons’ births are recorded in the Christ Church Parish Register as Chilton, but his own name occurs in his 1718 will as Chilton, Chelton and Chellton. There is no data in either the Parish Register or the county records to support the claim of Mildred Campbell Whitaker in her book entitled THE SHELTONS OF ENGLAND AND AMERICA that Ralph Shelton of Middlesex County, VA, was a son of this Peter and that Peter was a descendent of the non-existent James she cliamed to be son of Sir Ralph Shelton of Norfolk County, England. Mrs. Whitaker asserted James came to Virginia where James' sons included Peter. Peter's will names as his sons Peter (deceased), William, Thomas and Zebulon, and no others. A fifth son, Henry Chelton is noted in the Christ Church Parish Register, as having predeceased his father, ! at age about 26 and probably unmarried. Absolutely the first known record -- of any kind -- for Ralph Shelton who died in 1733 in Middlesex County, Virignia, is dated on October 10, 1702, recorded in Essex County, VA, Deeds & Wills, Book No. 10, 1699-1702, p.133, which is a record of Thomas Meriwether claiming land for having imported Ralph into the Colony of Virginia. Ralph served no indenture and he witnessed the will of Thomas Meriwether, in which Meriwether left Ralph land in Middlesex County. In light of the fact that Meriwether left Ralph land and the further fact that all other persons named in Meriwether's will can be identified as his relatives, it has been speculated that Meriwether and Ralph were kin. A Meriwether has done a genealogy Y-chromosome DNA test which has been compared to similiar DNA tests of descendants of Ralph Shelton. These tests did not match, meaning that Thomas Meriwether and Ralph Shelton were not kin through their male genealogy lines. There has been discussion of the fact that Thomas Meriwether might have been related to Ralph through Meriwether's mother's family who married into the family of Sir Ralph Shelton in England. This too has been proven not to be true. There has also been speculation that Ralph Shelton was the brother of the wife of Thomas Meriwether. No one knows the surname of the wife of Thomas Meriwether nor whether or not she came from the Colonies or from England. This seems highly unlikely, however, as Meriwether did not marry until a year or two before his death, which means Ralph had been in Virginia for some years at the time of Meriwether's marriage.

If you search this board and other websites, you will note that researchers now know that Ralph Shelton of Middlesex county was not the son of Peter Chilton, was not born in Virginia but transported there before 1702. His date of birth is most likely 1670-1680 and certainly earlier than 1685. His wife was Mary but there no evidence of their marriage, no evidence of surname and no evidence to assign her any parents. The information you have is based on a very bad genealogy written by Mildred Campbell Whitaker in the early 20th century and since then propogated by others. Ralph Shelton of Middlesex county is currently of unknown parents and origins based on the available evidence.

Mr. Shelton lived and died deeply proud of his unique American heritage. Throughout their lives, his family carried the responsibility of nurturing and preserving what they knew of their family history and graciously opened their door and hearts to countless men and women seeking their Shelton roots. He gave the ultimate gift to Shelton Genealogy when he participated in Family Tree's DNA project by contributing his Y-Chromosome sample so that other male descendants of his line may know their true genealogical lineage. His DNA sample in the Shelton Family Tree database is SH-58. William Shelton understood well the idea that many of us carrying the surname Shelton have romanticized a connection to his renowned ancestry. He believed that we should seek actively to clarify a cloudy genealogy by encouraging our families to follow his example and use science as a tool to make clear our individual Shelton Family Lineage. In addition he also made clear to me, he understood without question, that Mildred Whitaker was faulty in her research and that her composition of his family tree was inaccurate. His only sister, Mary Winn Shelton, based her memberships in genealogical societies on the assumption that Mrs. Whitaker was correct in her research. However, shortly before she died in 1967, Mary Winn became aware that her Shelton ancestry as Mrs. Whitaker proposed and published was far from the truth. Mary Winn Shelton knew that there was no evidence of proof for many of Mrs. Whitaker’s assertions. WILLIAM ROBERT SHELTON JR. William Robert Shelton Jr. a beloved citizen of Hanover County died Friday, May 5th. Born at Studley on June 14, 1920, he was the son of William Robert Shelton Sr. and Maud Greenlee Shelton. He grew up at Rural Plains, the historic Virginian home and land where the Battle of Totopotomoy Creek was fought in May of 1864. Mr. Shelton was a man proud of his American heritage. His three hundred year old home was also the birthplace of his great-great-great-aunt, Sarah Shelton, the first wife of the patriot Patrick Henry. The National Park Service plans to preserve the ancestral home and land as a National Battlefield Park. Our friend “Bill” was schooled in agriculture and operated Rural Plains Nursery for fifty years. His dearly loved sister Mary Winn Shelton died in 1967. Cherished wife Hollie Bailey Enroughty Shelton preceded him to Heaven in February 2004. He leaves behind devoted cousins and many loyal friends who are blessed to have known and loved him. The memory of his unique spirit will live on in our hearts and continue to be whispered on the wind by the countless trees he planted during his lifetime. My Father’s Home! A golden star Is burning o’er the mountains crest; Its ray of beauty points afar To that dear home, the land of rest. Victoria Anne Toms May 5, 2006

Pittsylvania County was not created until 34 years after Ralph's death. Pittsylvania County was created in 1767. So Ralph was not, could not, have been born in Pittsylvania County.

Unfortunately, there is no record of a "Shelton County" in the Archives of Virginia. You can determine this by consulting the site of the official Archives of Virginia, as follows: Go to http://www.lva.lib.va.us/whatwehave/ and scroll down to and click on "City and County Records" and on resulting screen, click on "A Guide to City and County Records on Microfilm". There you will find a listing of the names of all Virginia counties. This is the site of The Library of Virginia, of which the Archives Department is the official Archives of the State of Virginia. I think someone has gotten hold of the book by April Miller about Shelton genealogy which she entitled SHELTON COUNTY. She was referring to Pittsylvania County, Virginia. I am sure that you have seen ad infinitum the data that you have posted. The problem is that someone has estimated Ralph's birth date which has morphed into fact and someone posited the surname of Ralph's wife but no one can produce a record -- not even a datum on which to hang the argument. There has never been a marriage record found for Ralph nor has there ever been information found on the parentage of Ralph Shelton nor on his date of birth. According to the Christ Church Parish Register plus the wills of Ralph and his wife, Mary, there were 11 children, two of whom died as infants. Also, no marriage record has ever been found for Ralph's son, Crispin. The given name of his wife is known from an Amelia County deed but no one has ever been able to produce a record proving her surname. Hildred
