Surnames: Shelton Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/wNHBAIB/3002.2 Message Board Post: David, Did you have your DNA tested? It would sure help connect your family to the correct Virginia Shelton line. I know Dee Colvin suggested this in an earlier reply to you. I have Shelton family in Henderson Co., Texas who are connected to the Ralph Shelton family of Middlesex Co., Virginia. My Shelton family arrived in Henderson Co., Texas before 1850. Please do consider having the test or ask one of the other Shelton males of this line to consider the test.
