Ark. They have children Rhoda, Mary, James, Coleman, Fillmore, Martha, William and John Boyd. Living two families away is John S Willis and Lucinda Minerva, who I believe may be James daughter. I have copy of marriage certificate for John Willis and Lucinda Shelton. In 1860 James, Esther, Fillmore W and John Shelton were in Polk Co. Arkansas. I am looking to prove Lucinda’s parents are James and Esther. Also, James heritage. The children’s given name appear to be names found in the family of Stephen and Rhoda (Green) Shelton but I can’t find a connection. Help would be appreciated.
