Surnames: Shelton Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/wNHBAIB/2959 Message Board Post: I am looking for information on Jacob and Frances Shelton, the father and mother of John Shelton who was married to Kitty Ayers. As far as I know they lived in Patrick county Virginia. John Shelton was born sometime around 1805. Also is it possible that Jacob's name could have been Josiah? Because I did find a Josiah and Frances Shelton listed in the 1850 census of Patrick county Virginia, and his age was listed as 75. Any help would be greatly appreciated. thanks, Brian
