I meant to thank you earlier for posting the Shelton info….. mine were a little further back but were from these areas just before they went thru NC to Ky.
I have a Shelton line also. Haven’t traced any of it yet. My great grandmother was Martha Shelton from KY she married William Campbell Williams aka Cam Williams. He was a very mean man. Story has it that Cam Williams murdered several but was arrested for one that I know of in Laurel County, KY.

Sue,
Charles M. Shelton, 18, and “Nealy F.” Napier, 17, were next door neighbors in 1860.
On 1850 Patrick Co Va census, on the page following the one Thomas Shelton & family are on, is a Josiah Shelton, b.abt. 1775, and wife Frances, b.1779, both b. Va. Is this older Josiah, Thomas’s father?
Sherry,
There is a Cam Williams, age 37, b.Ky, in the Kentucky State Pen. in Frankfort, Ky, on the 1900 census, and Martha (nee: Shelton) and their kids are living in Laurel Co., Ky.
I have them on census records, various counties, from 1900 thru 1930. (Cam must not have gotten much time for this.) Is this a separate Williams’ line or is Cam related to William “Bill” Williams?
Bill
I don’t know if Bill and Cam Williams are related or not but it sounds like you have the right Cam. He did marry a Martha Shelton. Bill Williams is my mothers line. Cam Williams is my fathers line.

From the Mt. Echo (Laurel County, KY) August 1899
KILLED-At a late hour last Saturday night at East Bernstadt, this county, Cam Williams shot and instantly killed Charles Jones. Williams was at once arrested by the officers of the law, brought to London and lodged in jail. His examining trial was set for last Tuesday, but when it was called the defendant was not ready and it was continued till next Monday. Williams gives the circumstances of the killing about these: That Jones came to his house claiming to have a warrant for a certain girl who was staying at his house. He told Jones that they were all in bed, that Mrs. Williams was quite sick and that he did not want him to go into the house to arrest the girl until he could go into the house and talk to his wife so that Jones appearance would not disturb or frighten her. This Jones refused to do, but pushed himself in and then shoved Williams out at the door, whereupon he drew his pistol and fired, the ball taking effect in Jones head, killing him instantly. This is Williams statement in substance as we understand it. Jones is dead and his story may never be told.
Bill,
Up to now, I have not known of Thomas Shelton’s father.
But I typed in Shelton Va 1775 on a web search and the very first site is this…
http://varoots.tripol.com/shel/id1.html
If it works..and is showing Josiah as father of Thomas with Elisabeth Allen the wife of Thomas…If into is correct on the site.

I have the parents of Nealy F. Napier, b.abt. 1843, as William A. Napier, b.abt. 1809 Va, and Demarious Reynolds, b.abt. 1811 Va, as married in Pittsylvania Co., Va., on 21 Nov., 1829.
There is a marriage for “Josiah Shelton to Ruthey FORD, dau of Henry Ford who consents. 16 May 1797 Halifax Co., Va., marr’d 25 May 1797 by Hawkins Landrum.” (from “Halifax Co., Va Marriages” by Knorr.) Don’t know if “Ruthey” could be the same person as “Francis”.
Just to confuse things, a Josiah Shelton m’d Nancy ROSS, 3 Sept 1803 Pittsylvania Co., Va., and who knows, Josiah may have been marr’d 3 times, not that unusual.

Saponi1,
Julian and others duly noted, but
I think the jingle goes……….
…..thank you very much!…. thank you very much…. that’s the nicest….:)
Bill
Saponi1,
“Thank you very much” for posting the SHELTON marriages and your “take” on the general situation.
Yes, I’m still “GOIN” crazy.
Bill
Saj,
You’ve come a long way with these Sheltons. I may have a few, haven’t pinned them down 100%, so it’s “iffy”! I may have an Agnes Shelton b.1826, not sure where yet and her Spouse Joseph Gentry also not sure but probably could be related was born in 1728 in Hanover County, Virginia and Died about May 1813 in Surry County, NC.
Right now I’m so sleepy I’m not sure if Agnes was married to Joseph or If he was related in some other way. They were all intermarried back and forth like zipper teeth!:) Love & Light, Lynella.
lynella,
There is a lot of good info on rootsweb on SHELTON and GENTRY.
There is a website you can go to, Ancestral Voyages and another one, Simpson. and an e-mail address for Cheri Ciaravino…
if still good.
The Ancestral Voyages has the will of Joseph Gentry.
What I would like to know is what line do you think you descend from the marriage of Joseph Gentry and Agnes Shelton?
They are showing Joseph Gentry’s father as Samuel born abt. 1695 Married Ann Allen b about 1696? The father they show for Ann is William..Richard Allen had sons Robert and also William…The sites on rootsweb (about 33) that show a father for Ann Allen all show William with father Richard..right dates..I believe that all of the New Kent Co Va Allen family back then were related..They started in Hanover where some children were born and ended up in New Kent where others were born.
I have little info on any of Robert Allen’s brothers and sisters..Robert my direct ancestor married to Elizabeth Walker and a second marriage to a Sarah___. All children but one were by Elizabeth.
If I ever get to Robert Allen’s brothers and sisters and all of their descendants I am sure I would find many more connections to many people here.
Let me know if you can get to those websites…and how you think Joseph and Agnes relate to you..The original Shelton post was for Elizabeth Allen to Thomas Shelton?
This would be yet another family connection I did not know of.
WOW!:eek: 😀 🙂 sue J
