BENJAMIN J. SHELTON GA?>TN>SC
My ggrandfather was BENJAMIN J. SHELTON of Sevier Co., TN. He was born July, 1861, in either TN or GA., and died abt 1838 in SC. around Spartenburg. His first wife was JULIA THOMAS (b. 1863, and died before 1900) of Sevier Co. Her parents were GEORGE WASHINGTON THOMAS and MARY BREEDEN THOMAS of Sevier Co. He had a sister MARGARET SHELTON (b. btw 1861 & 1865, d cir. 1895) who married WILLIAM HENRY DUNLAP on July 27, 1883 in Sevier Co. They were also my ggrandparents as their son JOHN AARON DUNLAP m. his first cousin DORA SHELTON (daug. of Ben). There was a brother WILLIAM M. SHELTON (b July 4, 1865, d April 4, 1935) who Married MARGARET J. WOLF of Sevier Co. We do not know if there were any other sibings. BEN SHELTON, WILL SHELTON AND SAND HILL were living with MARGARET CANUPP at one time. As she was poor, her relatives think that only grandkids would have been living with her. She was full blooded Indian. If anyone can help me with this brick wall, I would appreciate it. RUTH DUNLAP BRACKETT
