Sheree,
WAY COOL!:D A couple of those sound familiar! Look Sue, we may have us another one!:) Awsome! Love & Light, Lynella.
Saj,
When you get time, go to the History Forum and check out both, Brenda’s war of 1812 list and her 1818 Chickasaw list. It may not have anything to do with your Allens but there are a few on there along with a John Lewis. There’s just a bunch of names. It’s quite interesting. Love & Light, Lynella.
Saj,
I could be hallucinating, and I don’t know if it pertains, but i think I saw a Shelton in the Delo Hodges post od Bill’s. Just thought I’d let ya’ know!;) Lynella.
🙂 Hello All!
I happened onto this forum with a google search of my FORD related to Shelton family. I was glad to see that you guys had found the research I had posted online regarding ALLEN in NC and SHELTON and CORN in Patrick Co VA.
I only wish I had been active online at the time..looks like last Fall and early Winter..
If anyone is still interested…I have updated info on these families although I now have only my direct line on my rootweb site and I no longer have my CORN family site. I’d be glad to offer anything I have in my databse on any of the families.
Ironically, I’d always assumed Narive American ancestry in the Shelton line and the photo album of my g-grandfather seemed to indicate it. It turns out the photos were probably souvenir and at least one of them is important historicaly. I will sent them to be restored and preserved at the Bassett Historical Society and displayed in their “Indian” room near Patrick County, Virginia.
So for Shelton Indian roots I’m back to square one. My mother’s side of my ancestry is obviously Creek or Cherokee via Reynolds/Coleman and possible MELUNGEON as well.
I offer my website and any questions about these families!
Peace

Hi Saponi 1
My Sheltons were in Halifax, Middlesex and then Patrick County VA. My great-grandfather, in the only photo I ever saw, looked to be Mulatto. He was born abt 1840 in Patrick Co VA to Thomas Shelton of Patrick County VA and Elisabeth Allen (NC). My aunt had the very small (abt 1 inch square) cut out o his face. It had been cut out of a family photo, postcard style. My aunt said they were probably ashamed of his “Indian” looks.
While he did have high cheekbones, it was hard to determine his ethnicity. Of course, like many, out of fear, “pass” as white.
I have no idea to this day, from which line, he acquired his look of a person of color.
In my genealogy queries, I was told the NC ALLEN line may be it.
I appreciate the info you posted.
His Shelton line goes from Thomas, his father, to Josiah Shelton, another Josiah Shelton again, Thomas to Ralph Shelton.
The maternal lines of his Sheltons are Napier, Ford, Reynolds, Spencer.
His ALLEN line goes Coleman Anderson Allen NC..then probably Young ALLEN. The Maternal Allen line includes, NC and VA, TILLEY, COLEMAN, WITCHER, STAPLES and HUGHES.
Thanks
Deb
Deb,
I am so glad you found us here.
My original post on this thread begins with Robert Allen II brother to my direct Joseph.
And onto Young Allen and Martha Coleman and Coleman Anderson Allen. I guess we are cousins.
Thank you Saponi1 for posting that info.
And Deb, now I am going to go devour all of your website..this is GREAT!
Sue J
Lynella,
It’s amazing. And you may be Deb’s cousin too. A lot of people are at the PowWow but I couldn’t do it.
Deb, I went to your website and there are other connections..and maybe more besides.
Chiles…if you search and put in Chiles you will get posts on. The Henry Chiles and Ann Harrelson with son Paul is your line? The Susannah Chiles would then be a sister to him who married John Tinsley..John died and she married Andrew Wade..John Tinsley’s sister Elizabeth married Drury Allen..Drury is the brother of Robert II..and another brother William married Mary Ann Owen..father is thomas Owen and Elizabeth Brookes..but that may not connect to your Owen..don’t know. Who knows what we may find?? Sue J
Deb,
Daughter of Ralph Hunt of Va and Dina Anderson…Anne, married John Pomfret..their daughter Elizabeth married Peter Bennett born Circa 1768 Granville co NC..father is Richard..Daughter Anne, sister to Peter married a Duke..Ralph and Dina are my direct line..another son of Ralph and Dina is Memucan who married Mary Wade..their son Thomas G married Betty Duke…their son Albert G Hunt married Louisa Rogers. I don’t have Betty Duke’s parents. Sue J

🙂 COOL! Ya’ know, I would love to share old photographs with some of you so we can see how much, if any of our like relatives look related. It would be interesting. I’m not reall good at doing that via computer though, I’d have to snail mail. If anyone wants to, let me know. Lynella.
Lynella,
I think it would be so neat to have a photo gallery..I came across a picture of Brenda’s mother that I had no idea was on here, just in searching for something else. I’m afraid right now it becomes a lot of extra work for Linda because we have to send them to her via e-mail or snail. I just aquired a bunch of old family photos from my sister I need to sort through.
Any ideas? Do we need a separate website with some special name? or? I have a scanner, I could help. Sue J
