Research Notes

Name Variations - Avy; Avarilla, Averilla Shelton

Avarilla, Ava, et al, are not listed in the will of John Shelton filed in 1804 in Pittsylvania Co VA, in my possession. There was a John Chilton (aka Shelton) who died in North Carolina with a son who moved to PIttsylvania County, Virginia, and the two John's are sometimes confused or conflated. I am not aware of all that John's children, but she is not the child of John Shelton and unknown wife. There is no wife mentioned in his will either. Children listed in John Shelton d. 1804 Pittsylvania Co Virginia were: Jane, wife of William Lewis, Claiborne, Charlotte (m. Willis Shelton), Martha (Tucker), William, Lucy (Hurt), Lettice (m. Abraham Shelton), Nancy (White), Joel, Abraham, Mary (Poore), Frances (Payne). In this will, Jane was left one shilling, which in the estate settlement, was claimed by her husband, William "Meadow Billy" Shelton.
