Thanks to everyone who has helped me. I am at a loss as how to connect my suspected ancestors to my grandfather's SHELTON family. I need a link between George Madison Shelton 1881-1978 and his supposed father, Charles Madison Shelton of Patrick Co, VA. Charles served in the 58th Va. infantry in the Civil War. I have found information on three or more Charles Sheltons in Patrick County. One of them was married three times ...Napier, Campbell and Jefferson. His parents are listed as Thomas and E.D. Shelton. The info on George's death certificate (no birth certificate located) ..was based on my own unsure memories of a Napier name. That is Elizabeth Napier. The Charles M. Shelton I found in the 58th infantry.. is listed as wife's name Elizabeth Allen. If I can find MY Charles Shelton with children from at least two marriages as being, Susie, Bert, Florence, Maggie, George and possibly more..then this would be my Charles Shelton. If anyone has suggestion on how I might find this or if you have this link, I would appreciate you reply. Cordially Deborah Shelton Wood
