This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Surnames: Shelton, Howell Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/wNHBAIB/3012.1 Message Board Post: In that George M. Shelton was from Brownwood, Brown, TX, I was ask if he may have been a relative of Robert J. Shelton, son of James J. Shelton of Coryell County, TX. I note that James was killed in the Civil War, having been captured at Arkansas Post in January 1861. James was son of Hezekiah Shelton also of Coryell County, TX and Lauderdale County, AL.. James (J. J.) is buried at the National Cemetery near Springfield, Il where he died in a Civil War Prision in February 1861. Any comments are welome. I am descended from Jame's brother Nehemiah, his son Horane and his Daughter Ione Nelda Shelton Howell.
