*A letter at hand from Nancy Jo Smith in August, 1973 from Harvest, Alabama, descendant of the George Shelton, page 132, is here quoted:
Mrs. Williams showed me a book which you wrote on the Shelton family. (In the public library at Athens, Tennessee courthouse.) In this book on page 66 were listed my great-great-grandparents, George and Emily Shelton. I could not find any connection between them and the other children in the book! All I know about them is:
(1) Emily was a full blooded Cherokee Indian who had Henry, her first born, by a previous marriage, and (2) they ware listed in your book! I would deeply appreciate your communicating with me. It is my hearts desire to find my ancestors.
My second reason for writing to you is that we would appreciate a copy of the book for our Latter Day Saints Branch genealogical library here in Huntsville. My husband and I are assistant librarians in this library. We work here once a week on Wednesday nights (6:30 9:30), helping people in this area with their genealogy. Since there are many Sheltons in the South, this might be a good place to have your book , if it would be convenient for you to send one to our library. If not convenient, thats all right! I would just like to hear from you about my great-great-grandparents:
Thank you for your help. Sincerely, Nancy Jo Smith.
Mrs. Smith then delineates her ancestry from George and Emily ahead:
Nancy Joan Deitrich (Smith) b. May 22, 1943
*
Robert Earl Dietrich and Ruth Marie Kuiken
*
Albert Kuiken and Lillian Myrtle Thompson
*
Jacob Thompson and Rebecca L. Shelton
*
George Andrew Shelton and Emily Adams
It appears likely that the George Shelton above was the son of William and Nancy Shelton shown in the census of McMinn County in 1850, George having married Emily prior to leaving North Carolina and then following his parents into Tennessee. This William was possibly the brother of James (8). In that case the lineage would be as follows:
George Andrew Shelton, b. 1816, N. C.
*
William Shelton, b. 1793, Virginia
*
Roderick Shelton, b. abt 1754, Virginia
*
John Shelton (6), b. 1732, Virginia
*
Ralph Shelton (5), b. 1709, Virginia
*
Ralph Shelton (4), b. 1685, Virginia
Peter Shelton (3), b. 1664, Bermuda
*
Ralph Shelton (2), b. 1610, England
