Biography
Stephen Shelton was a Virginia colonist.
Stephen was born about 1760 in Virginia Colony. He apparently passed away before 1830 in Giles County, Tennessee. He is last found on the 1820 census in Pulaski, Giles County, Tennessee.[1]
Stephen married Rhoda Green before 1784.[citation needed]
The family may have been in Greenville, South Carolina in 1800. There is a Stephen Shelton, age 16-25 (b 1775-1804), with wife, and 2 males and 2 females under age 10.[2] There is also a Stephen Shelton in Fayette County, Kentucky on the 1800 Tax List.[3] Not sure if either one is this Stephen Shelton.
A Stephen Shelton is on the 1810 Tax List in Grainger County, Tennessee.[4] It will take more research to determine which, if any, of the 1800 and 1810 records apply to this Stephen Shelton. The most likely ones are 1800 in Kentucky and 1810 in Grainger County, Tennessee. Several other Sheltons and related Luttrells were in Kentucky in 1800 before they moved on to Tennessee.
Stephen (age 45+, b before 1775) is listed on the 1820 Federal census in Pulaski, Giles County, Tennessee. With him are his wife, also age 45+, 1 male and 2 females age 10-15, and 1 male age 16-25.[5]
Neither Stephen nor Rhoda Shelton has been found on the 1830 federal census, although their apparent son, Allen D. Shelton, is in Giles County, Tennessee in 1830.
By 1836 Rhoda is apparently a widow. She is listed with property in her name only on the Tennessee, Early Tax List Records, 1836, in Giles County, Tennessee (p 37). She has 67 acres valued at $536. Jesse Shelton and W. B. Shelton are listed on p 55 and Stephen Shelton with 40 acres is listed on p 56.[6] Jesse and Stephen could be her sons; not sure who W. B. Shelton might be.
