Hi again, Troy! I just realized that you didn't give me any birthdates (maybe you don't have any?) My Rodney Shelton was married to a much younger "Nancy" on the 1860 Census, so if that's the same Rodney, Jane Humphries would have been his first wife and she was deceased by 1860. Lucinda Shelton (age 3 on 1860 Census) was definitely the child of Rodney and Nancy, and my William Shelton, whose mother was definitely Jane, was already age 19 on that 1860 Census. Also, we either have two sets of twins on that census, or "Nancy", the second wife, was a widow and brought her children into the marriage. (Twins do run in some Shelton families in SC, VA, I noticed.) I'm not too savvy on how census takers would list that, but they listed three children, ages 19, 14, 7 (which is what I'm used to), THEN ages 14, 7, 4, 3, 2, as if they were starting over with a different set of children. What do you think? I'm sending you my "conjecturing" from census, death and birth records, and maybe someone from the Stafford County and Spotsylvania County lists can help us out, too (my William A. Shelton married in Spotsylvania County and lived there the rest of his life): I. Edward Shelton m. Nancy A. George Gustavus Shelton, m. Lucinda Pates 1. Mason Shelton, b. 1841; m. Nancy, b. 1849 a.

[transcribed by Laura Keyes Perry. Does anyone know who Mr. C. W. Friede was?] FREE LANCE-STAR Fredericksburg, Virginia 16 November 1916 NOTES FROM STAFFORD Garrisonville, Va., Nov. 13th, 1916. Mr. John A. Evans, of this place, one of our most popular and highly esteemed citizens has recovered from his illness and is out again. During his illness he had fifty-eight of his many friends to see him. Mr. Evans is 84 years old and is [a] remarkable man for his age. We have a good joke on Mr. Evans. He was very enthusiastic over the election and made a big effort to get well and be out Nov. 7th, so the night before he retired at 8 o'clock expecting to rise early and start out at 4:00 o'clock. He arose, dressed and took his overcoat on his arm, cane in hand and started off regardless of the fact that he found no member of the family astir. He happened to look at his watch when it was just 11 o'clock. He had been asleep only three hours. Mr. William Leard, of Pittsburgh, Pa., accompanied by his daughter, Miss Gertrude Leard, a beautiful young girl, and his trained nurse, Mr. Chas. Fuller, while en route in their touring car going South for the health of Mr. Leard, who is an invalid, met with a very serious accident. They were trying to make Fredericksburg before night and the car going very fast threw Miss Leard with severe force against the side of the car, just as she was in the act of covering her father up from the chill night air. She was severely hurt and while passing through Garrisonville she became unconscious. They stopped at the home of Mr. Samuel Garrison and everything was done to make the young lady comfortable until Dr. Sneed arrived. She soon regained consciousness. After stopping at Mr. Garrison's from Thursday until Monday they were able to start on their journey South. Mrs. E. E. Harn, of Baltimore, Md., who is visiting her relatives here and is a sister of Mrs. John A. Evans visited Richmond, Petersburg, Old Point and Hopewell. She was accompanied by Mrs. Samuel S. Garrison, of Garrisonville. Mr. E. S. Evans, of Hagerstown, Md., a hustling business man of that place, visited his father for a few days during his illness. Mrs. Sallie Norman, an esteemed lady of this place, who had the misfortune to have a severe fall, was confined to her bed for some time, but we are glad to hear that she is out again and is visiting her daughter, Mrs. C. H. Gill, but still suffering from the fall. Mrs. Enoch Fritter, a highly esteemed lady of Garrisonville, who has been sick for some time, we are glad to hear that she is improving. She is the mother of our popular merchant, Mr. E. D. Fritter, of this place. We are deeply grieved to see the death in The Free Lance of our old friend, Mr. J. W. Schooler, an ex-Confederate soldier of the Soldiers' Home, Richmond, Va. We shall miss his nice, long newsy letters in The Lance. May he rest in peace. We would be pleased to read a letter written by Mr. John W. Embrey, of the Soldiers' Home in The Lance. Mr. Embrey was visiting friends and relatives in Garrisonville a month ago but has returned to the Soldiers' Home. Mr. C. W. Friede and bride, of Washington, D.C., stopped for a short while at Mrs. Samuel Garrison's while passing through Garrisonville on their return from their bridal tour South. They made the trip in their car. There will be moving pictures at Rectory Hall once a month. Notice given later for the date.

It also states that it could be an error on the behalf of the minister, they checked all of the records and did not come up with anything else. That could be because his father was dead and not listed. Maybe I. Decator belongs to his wife as her father.

I do not know much about the COLVINs, since they do not seem to have married any of my ancestors (KEYES, BRIDWELL, BRAWNER, GARRISON, RATCLIFFE, HOLMES, etc.). But I did make a note of one interesting tidbit: In THE COLVIN RUN MILL, Ross D. Netherton says that the stream's name is "a corruption of the name of Colonel John Colvill, William Fairfax's friend and associate in various land transactions" (11). Whatever surname you are researching, you will find that the Stafford County website has a lot of information, including censuses. The home page is at http://www.rootsweb.com/~vastaffo/ The censuses are at http://www.rootsweb.com/~vastaffo/census/index.htm * * * * Be kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving ... from Paul's letter to the Ephesians 4:32

If you looking for Colvins, it would help to put "COLVIN" in the subject line. And maybe also the other names that you're looking for.
