According to this he was born ca 1820 and died Nov. 18, 1895 in Owen Co., KY. He married Ellen Kitchen. However, I have only one child listed for him--Daniel Samuel (b. July 16, 1856, Owen Co., KY; d. Sept. 30, 1903, Owen Co., KY) m. Nancy Ellen Judy on Mar. 10, 1880 in Owen Co., KY. Daniel had 2 children: Ben Wilmer Shelton (no further info) and Ira Matthias Shelton (b. Apr. 11, 1883, Owen Co., KY; d. Mar. 9, 1940, Louisville, KY) m. Effie Goddard (b. June 26, 1888, Owen Co., KY) on Feb. 10, 1910 in Great Crossings, Scott Co., KY. Sorry, I don't have parents for Preston either.
