Dear Matt: Although I can't quite seem to make it all fit, following is what I have on my SHELTONs in TN. Many of the names and dates are similar--do you see any connection? Melissa Hill Dees Descendants of "Jack" SHELTON Generation No. 1 1. "JACK"1 SHELTON was born in GA (Source: 1900 Henderson Co., TN Census 52-10a.). He married LETHA __________. She was born August 1840 in GA (Source: 1900 Henderson Co., TN Census 52-10a.), and died January 12, 1916. Notes for "JACK" SHELTON: You should find them in 1880 census records. I am checking at www.familysearch.org where the census for 1880 is available and doesn't cost money to access. So far, I cannot locate a Jack, Tom (Thomas), Suzy (prob. Married). I was looking for someone with a DOB I could use to be sure I had them. Here is one family that comes close: Dist. 7, Van Buren, TN J. T. Shleton MW 35 TN farmer parents b.
