Bowie" To: "Donna Petersen" Donna, I have Mason Shelton, his father George Gustavus Shelton, and his wife, Lucinda Pates. Also, I have Rodney Shelton, who was a brother to Gustavus, and his wife Jane Humphries. And finally, I have Nannie Shelton, who is the mother of the gentleman who married my grandmother's sister. Hope you can help a little here, and thanks! Troy ----- Original Message ----- From: "Donna Petersen" Sent: Sunday, June 16, 2002 13:08 Subject: Re: [VASPOTSY] Roll Call - Shelton Family from the late 1600s thru 1700s Troy and Robert, I have one Shelton from there who married into our family. I just got the marriage record, so I have his parent's names, too. Who are your Sheltons? I have Shelton, Ware, Williams and Gallahan -- all by marriage (and at least three maiden names I still don't know) -- in my family. Who are you looking for? God Bless You! Father's Day Blessings to the fathers in your life! (My Daddy is in Heaven, so I'll see him again there or "in the air" some glad day!) Father's Day Blessings to my Abba ("Daddy" "Papa") Father God!
