According to a 1926 article in NEHGR he is the earliest generation. https://hdl.handle.net/2027/mdp.39015039521730?urlappend=%3Bseq=409%3Bownerid=9007199255461275-415 The article documents some earlier Sheldons, including a Ralph a century earlier, but cannot connect them.

Perhaps there is more recent research.
