This appears to be the Thomas Shelton I've been looking for. Another Shelton researcher has info that this Capt.Thomas J.Shelton did marry Eliz. Allen. making these my GGrandparents. Question? In all other documents including census shows Thomas N. and Elizabeth Shelton, with children of my line. Does anyone know if this is the same Thomas ? At any rate I am searching for parents of Thomas. All replies welcomed! Thanks! Deborah Shelton
