I'm not related.

WHAT records do you have indicating that Myron Sheldon was born in Londonderry, VT???

South Dakota Vital Records -
South Dakota became a state on November 2nd, 1889.
1905 is the year that SD started collecting birth and death registration.

FYI -
All census records prior to the 1850 census only listed the head of household; whether male or female.

NO specific age was stated for any family member
NO place of birth was stated – city, state, or country
NO city, town, or village is stated – only the county
NO marital status was stated – single, married, widowed, divorced
NO family relationship was stated – brother, sister, cousin, son, daughter, wife, inlaw, etc…
NO occupation was stated
NO parental birthplaces are stated
NO race was stated [but assume “white”]

1850, 1860 & 1870 census records do not show family relationships or parental birthplaces.


1880 - This is Myron Sheldon
Myron may be his middle name?

Martha Sheldon 40, VT
Fred'k Sheldon 16, DAK TERR [1864]
Henry Sheldon 9, DAK TERR [1871]
Joseph Sheldon 5, DAK TERR [1875]
Edgar Sheldon 3, WASH TERR [1877 = Albert in 1900]

1900 -

Mabel C Sheldon 2, 5/98 WASH - g/dau

1910 & 1920 cannot locate Laurinda Martha Sheldon -


WASH. Death Record -
Martha Sheldon [aka = Laurinda]
date of death: 21 Dec 1924
age: 85 gender: Female
father's name: Norris Butler
mother's name: Isabell Flock

I don't believe Lillian F. Sheldon is Myron's dau. as she is in VT in 1860 and Myron is elsewhere.
