Surnames: Shelton, Droulliard Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/wNHBAIB/2975.1.1.1.1 Message Board Post: The book referenced here is "The Descendants of Jessee Shelton". It was written by Cecil and Louise Shelton and is a descendancy of Jessee Shelton born abt. 1799 in Tennessee. His father is believed to be Stephen W. Shelton and Rhoda Green. There is no specific documentation of his parents other than a notation in a church record that references a Stephen W and Rhoda. The rest of his descendancy is fairly comprehensive and seems well researched. The book also contains references to the Whittaker book, although it makes note that those references cannot be proven (which we know). I have a copy of this book at present and this is the line from which I descend. Most early sources are secondary (Wills, probate and land records) but the links seem generally sound.
