I have a Shelton line that I have been working on for seveal years. They were in Perry Co. in the early 1800's. In particular, Joel Shelton who married Mary Polly Davidson. There was also an older James Shelton, a George Shelton who died in the War of 1812, and others. Do you know any more about your Sheltons -- in particular -- where they came from before TN and any other information that might help with the Shelton line in Perry? Thanks for any help you might be able to provide. Ruth Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.

My grandfather was Ernest Shelton b. Linden, Tenn. and his father was Geo. Andrew also b. Linden. Geo. Andrew's father was Flavious Josephus Shelton of Linden. There is a Shelton Street in Linden. I am sorry if none of these provides a clue. Pat Johnson Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.

On the 1930 Lincoln Township, Atchison County, Missouri census there is a Shelton Family -- Rile, his wife Gertie, daughter Billie Maria, son Bobbie and step-daughter Alfreda. Does anyone know anything about this family? Is the full name of the Rile listed William Riley Shelton? I can't find any other references for this family. If anyone could help I would be very grateful. Thanks Reba

He had died the day before. It lists his occupation as a teamster. It also lists his birthplace as Kentucky, and his Father's name as Samuel Shelton. There is nothing listed for his Father's birthplace or any information on his mother. The informant on the certificate was Sarah Shelton. This info conflicts with the prior information as his birthplace being Indiana. On the other hand, maybe Sarah just wasn't informed correctly?

If you look on my tree, I have 1 photo of Nathaniel. He is seated in the chair and the man standing is said to be his nephew. I don't know who that might be. What I have from grandma is a listing of the children from Nathaniel's marriage to Sara Francise Deen, and the details differ slightly from the census records: Lawrence b. 27 Sept. 1880 d. 29 June 1881 Hettie Sophia b. 29 Jan 1882 d. 25 Aug 1960 Mary "Mollie" b. 16 Nov. 1884 d. 21 Mar. 1943 Ira Rudy (my g grandfather) b. 16 Feb. 1888 d. 24 Mar 1978 Samuel b. 5 Nov. 1890 d. ? Lloyd L. b. 29 Oct 1892 Killed in WW1 on 4 Dec 1918 in France John Benjamin b. 1895 Ruth Leona 8 Aug. 1899 d. 30 Oct 1975 Grandma says that Sarah Deen was born on 22 Dec. 1855 in Burlington, Iowa, her parents were Silas Deen b. 24 May 1814 in Virginia and Antoinette Finney b. 27 June 1818 in Virginia d. 30 May 1902 in Memphis MO Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.

This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Author: rkent Surnames: Classification: queries Message Board URL: http://boards.rootsweb.com/surnames.shelton/3335.1/mb.ashx Message Board Post: I don't know whether this will help you and you may already have the information. I looked for a young Nathaniel and like you, did not find anything concrete. This census may give you some other hints. 1870 United States Federal Census > Illinois > Hancock > Township 4 Range 9 Shelton, Nathan, 27, Illinois Sarah Ann, 22, Indiana Cora, 6/12, (Nov.) Illinois Note that the location of birth for Nathaniel here says Illinois, but in 1880 it shows Indiana. Sarah's birth place says Indiana, but in following years, it is Iowa. This makes me wonder if the Sarah in 1870 died. Espcially because Sarah in 1880 is shown as 24 and Cora as ll -- so the 1880 Sarah is probably not Cora's mother. 1880 United States Federal Census > Missouri > Scotland > Union > District 87 Shelton, Nathaniel, 35, farmer, Ind, Ky, Ger Sarah, 24, Iowa, VA VA Cora, 11, Ill, Ind, Iowa Thomas, 6, Mo Ind, Iowa Viola, 2 Mo, Ind, Iowa Brown, Kate, 18, boarder, domestic servant, Mo Mo Mo 1900 United States Federal Census > Missouri > Scotland > Union > District 149 Shelton, Nathan, 1843, 57, Indiana, Kentucky, Pennsylvania Sarah, Dec 1855, 44, children 9/7, Iowa, Unknown, Unknown Hettie S., Jan 1882, 18, Mo, Ind, Iowa Molly, Nov 1883, 16, Mo Ind, Iowa Ira, Feb 1888, 12, Mo Ind Iowa Samuel, Dec 1889, 10, Mo Ind Iowa Lloyd L., Oct 1891, 8, Mo Ind Iowa Bennie, May 1895, 5, Mo Ind Iowa Ruth L., Aug 1899, ?/12, Mo Ind Iowa Next family Antemis (sp?) Dean, female, 81, Va., Mass, New York Barrie L., daughter, 32, Mo, VA VA 1910 United States Federal Census > Missouri > Scotland > Mt Pleasant > District 154 Shelton, Nathaniel S., 68, m3, age 30, Indiana, Kentucky, Pennsylvania Sarah F., 55, m2, age 30, children: 10/7, Iowa, VA VA Samuel, 19, Mo Ind Iowa John B., 14, Mo Ind, Iowa Ruth Lu, 10, Mo, Ind, Iowa My own interpretation of the census makes me think Nathaniel was married once (or twice) before he came to Scotland, Mo when he married Sarah Dean. The 1910 census looks like Nathaniel was married 3 times and Sarah 2 times. You probably will want to look at that census to see if you come to the same conclusion. Good luck.
