There is an older James Shelton listed on the same page with William, Joel and Gideon Shelton in the 1830 census for Perry County, TN, so it is possible that James is his father -- but that is just a guess at this point.

There was an Abraham, John and Joseph Davidson in that Pittsylvania Co., VA family, apparently, and there is no known connection whatsoever between them and the one in Amelia/PECo. I suspect that it was the John Davidson in the Pittsylvania Co., VA Davidson family who married Rachel Shelton/Chilton there in 1786. I also suspect that this Rachel was the daughter of Mark Shelton, and hence, the Rachel Davidson mentioned in Mark Shelton's will. Abraham and John (and maybe Joseph, as well) were also in TN. Do you think that your Levi Davidson was a member of the above Pittsylvania Co., VA/TN Davidson family, or do you believe that he was from yet a third Davidson family?

I see that my friend Hollis Davison also posted there. From my brief review, it appears that the Davison family out of Middlesex Co., VA (1600s), Spotsylvania Co., VA (about 1720s to 1740s), and then Amelia/Prince Edward Co., VA (1740s and beyond) was a different family then your Levi, Alvoree , Josiah, etc. Davidson family, correct? I know that some members of both families ended-up in MO, but that was apparently just a coincidence The Amelia/PECo Davison family had a Joshua Davison, and they were associated with an Owen, McDearmonroe and Brackett family, among several others. The known "patriarch" of that family was John Davison (b. abt. 1693-d.1754). John's wife was Ann Son/Soanes. Have you determined the parents of Levi Davidson yet? Do you know how/if Joel Shelton who married Mary Davidson was related to the Mark Shelton family in Pittsylvania Co., VA? I think you posted that Mary Davidson was a sister of Josiah Davidson, Senior. Does that mean that both were children of Levi Davidson (and siblings of Alvoree Davidson)? Thanks!

We also know that a Nancy Davidson was listed in that same will as a daughter. I do not know which Davidson man she married. The recent posts on this message thread now show that a Mary Davidson married a Joel Shelton. I can only assume that Mary was from the same Davidson family as Rachel and Nancy, IF Joel, and his apparent relative Josiah, were related to to Mark Shelton and his daughter Rachel and Nancy. Do you know for sure if Joel and Josiah were from the same Shelton/Chilton family as Mark Shelton? I went to a Shelton/Chilton DNA website a minute ago, and I think I saw a Joel Shelton out of MIddlesex Co., VA Sheltons. I am told by a researcher of that group that they are not related to the Pittsylvania line (at least they do not share a common ancestor going back hundreds of years, per DNA). From what family was the Joel Shelton who married Mary Davidson?

I think she applied first in Perry Co., TN, but later, she was in Greene/Christian County when she applied again. Josiah Davidson and his wife, Rachel, signed on her behalf and said they were at her wedding in Dickson Co. This is part of her bounty claim: Bounty Land Claim Form of Declaration for Widow of Deceased Officer or Soldier State of Missouri County of Greene ss On this 18th day of May A.D. one thousand eight hundred and fifty-four, personally appeared before me, Addison H. Walker, a Justice of the Peace, duly authorized to administer oaths within and for the County and State aforesaid, Mary Shelton aged 62 years, a resident of Greene County, in the State of Missouri, who being duly sworn according to law, declares that she is the widow of Joel Shelton, deceased, who was a private in the company commanded by Captain Hudson in the regiment of Tennessee Militia, commanded by Colonel Lauderdale, in the war of 1812, that he said husband volunteered at Dixon (Dickson) County, Tennessee, on or about the 14 day of September, A.D. 1814, for the term of six months, and continued in actual service in said war for the term of six months – and was honorably discharged at Nashville, Tenn. Home on the 13 day of Apr. A.D. 1815. She further states that she was married to the said Joel Shelton in Dixon (Dickson) County, Tennessee on the 5th day of March, A. D. 1812, by one William Reed, a Justice of the Peace, and that her name before her said marriage was Mary Davidson; that her said husband died at Perry County, Tennessee on the 9th day of September, A.D., 1835, and that she is now a widow. She further declares that she has heretofore made application for bounty land under the act 28 Sept. A.D. 1850 and obtained a land warrant for eighty acres, No. 57,411 which she has legally disposed of, and it cannot now be returned. She makes this declaration for the purpose of obtaining the bounty land to which she may be entitled under “act approved March 8, 1855.” (signed) Mary (X her mark) Shelton We, Josiah Davidson and Alvoree Davidson, residents of Greene County, in the state of Missouri, upon our oaths declare that the foregoing declaration was signed and acknowledged by Mary Shelton in our presence, and that we believe, from the appearance and statements of the application, that she is the identical person she represents herself to be. (signed) Josiah Davidson (signed) Alvoree Davidson Josiah Davidson was in Dickson County on 1820 and 1830 census and in Greene Co., Mo in 1840 and later years. Josiah is supposedly her brother. Alvoree Davidson was the son of Levi Davidson of Perry Co, TN -- at least he served as administrator of Levi's estate. Levi Davidson is my ancestor and -- unproven -- I believe could be a younger brother of Mary Davidson Shelton and Josiah Davidson. One other thing: Josiah Davidson also purchased a steer from George Shelton's estate.

There was a George Shelton who also served in the War of 1812 from Dickson County, Tn.and died in 1815during the war) who I believe might be the father of my Gideon Farmer Shelton. I got my first male Shelton cousin to DNA test and that test matches the descendant of Joel Shelton that was in Dickson County. Our line appears to be a Chilton/Chelton/Shelton line...........as this line had all of these labels at times. The name was Chilton and changed to Chelton or Shelton in the mid-1700's. The early Chiltons were in many places in Va. I can only take mine back as far as Pittsylvania County, Va. in 1804 as that was when my great-great Grandfather was born there. By the way, on the inventory list of George Shelton when his estate was administed by a John and a James Shelton a Joel Shelton and a William Shelton purchased items (in Dickson County). Do you know if and how the Mary Davidson who married Joel Shelton fits in with your Davidsons? I will look through my notes and see if I have any other information about the Davidsons. Beth Aann

Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/4300/wNHBAIB/2891.1 Message Board Post: I'm also interested in the Shelton-Davidson connection; particularly in those who went to Stewart, Dickson, Humphreys counties in Tennessee in the very early 1800's. John and Abraham Davidson were in Stewart-Dickson counties with Abraham later going to Humphreys. I can find no record of spouses for John and Abraham (although I've seen that Abraham's wife was Sarah Ellis???). Shelton lines are also in the area and associated with the Davidson surname. It is interesting to note that Cuthbert Huson, Willis Hopwood and Lucy Hudson witnessed Mark Shelton's will. Cuthbert Hudson served in the War of 1812 from Dickson Co,. TN with Joel Shelton and John Davidson being under his command. These lines have been difficult to sort out because of a lack of records for verification.

This appears to be my family. I think the Chilton and Shelton lines are separate lines............this is what DNA testing indicates............. My line went by Shelton for over 200 years but match the DNA of early Chiltons........ I don't know the exact info on how my line ties in but my great, great grandfather was born in Pittsylvania County , Va in 1804. His father is believed to be named George. This line of Chilton/Sheltons seem to have started going by Shelton in the middle to late 1700's. This Chilton/Shelton group also appears in Halifax Va. and in North Carolina and many places in Virginia. I suspect a connection to Mark Chilton/Shelton but so far have found records lacking in information. Bennet is very definitely a Chilton/Shelton name. Seems this line (if I remember correctly) descended from an early Thomas.......I can give you more on this Bennett connection.........There are some from this Bennett line that migrated to Tn. My Chilton/Sheltonline also went into Tn. There is a Joel Shelton who is in Dickson County Tn. (where some of this line appeared to be and the descendants have matching DNA)) who married a Mary Davidson ......don't know if it is connected with the same Davidsons you mention or not. I can check it out but I think some of Bennett's descendants show up in Williamson County, Tn. and in another county there. I have more information on them, just have to find it. It is also a possiblity that some of the Chiltons and Sheltons inter-married at some point. There are a lot of Davidson's in Dickson County Tn. early and also other counties in Tn. Hope to hear back from you.
