There is a reference to a Ralph Shelton, not the son of Ralph and Mary Shelton, but a later one about early 1800s having a wife who was Indian. There is also a version of the history of the Shelton Laurel Sheltons which states that a there was an Indian wife in that family. I've forgotten the dates and this is not my research so I do not vouch for the truth of it.
