I am curious about "Wilson" as a first name in the Shelton family. I know that there is a Wilson Albert Shelton, b. ca. 1830 in KY, d. after 1880 probably in IL. He was a Grandfather to the Shelton brother's, part of whom made up the Shelton Gang. Also, my 3rd Great-Grandfather was George Wilson Shelton...not connected to the Shelton Gang...although he was in Southern Illinois also. Any thoughts? Happily, Harlene
