(NOTE: this is to help support the theory that Gustavus is the father of Winfield who was born Dec 1851, showing that Gus and Lucinda were in the same location, living in the same community. Gus is living with his brother next door to her sister. By 1860, he is married to another sister, Mary Elizabeth, and Lucinda is not listed in the census; however Winfield is being cared for by his uncle, Joseph Z.)

Research Notes:
In 2009 when John had his YDNA test the results came back as match to a Shelton in Y37 and Y67 tests. No common denominator was found.
On Feb 27, 2013, a tester in the Oglesby group was a match to him in the Y37, with a step 2 match. As it turned out, in the Shelton gedcom there was a marriage of Mary Elizabeth to Gustavas Adolphus Oglesby. Checking the tester's pedigree, his ancestor Jesse Oglesby and Gustavas descend from Constant, Sr., Jesse and Constant being brothers; making Jesse the great-uncle of Gustavas.
Following the pedigree of the Shelton tester, his ancestor was Winfield Scott Shelton who carried the maiden name of his unwed mother, Lucinda. Lucinda was sister to Mary Elizabeth who married Gustavus 1 year after Winfield Scott was married.
Gustavus was in Henderson County in the 1850 census in the same extended family community as Lucinda who was still at home with her parents. He was living with his brother Stephen and they were next door to one of Lucinda's older sisters who was already married.
The name Winfield Scott was a well-known general of the time, and as was the custom, it was popular to name their children after public personalities. The name Winfield Scott was used by at least two or three more Oglesby siblings; so it was a name they liked to use. The Sheltons did not use the name, just another hint that an Oglesby was influential in the choosing of the name.
Lucinda later had a son Albert, who, as I understand, was DNA tested and was not a match to Winfield. The Shelton tester did not match any Sheltons because that was the maternal line. He matched the Oglesby line.
It's quite obvious that Winfield's father was an Oglesby; and it's more likely than not that the father was Gustavus as his brothers were not so likely a candidate. Since he married a year later and started his own family with Lucinda's sister, it's doubtful that Lucinda's following children were fathered by him. The girls may or may not have the same father as Albert.

Gustavus married Lucinda Shelton(maybe father, not married). Lucinda (daughter of Josiah Cyrus Shelton and Mary Elizabeth "Betty" Orran) was born in 1833 in Rockingham Co, North Carolina; died before 1903 in Webster Co, Kentucky. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Gustavus married Mary Elizabeth Shelton, (Y-DNA step 2 match) on 14 Apr 1852 in Webster Co, Kentucky. Mary (daughter of Josiah Cyrus Shelton and Mary Elizabeth "Betty" Orran) was born on 2 May 1833 in Pittsylvania, Virginia; died on 25 Feb 1915; was buried in Bordley Cem, Bordley, Union Co, Kentucky.

Joseph Z Shelton was Lucinda's brother, and my great, great, uncle or foster great great grandfather as he raised my great grandfather, Winfield Scott Shelton. Winfield has a brother
Albert Shelton, that was also Lucinda's child but the father's are different from DNA tests.

Winfield and Albert you say had different fathers, who was Albert's source for the test? I believe Donna
Shelton's father Johnny Shelton was the DNA source for Winfield. (donnashelton1938 ancestry board)

Obituary per Billy "Jelly Bean" Oglesby:

"One hundred and five years ago on March 20, 1868 "Uncle Dave" Oglesby was born near Sebree, Kentucky. One hundred and four years and three hundred and sixty-one days later, the beloved gentleman died, after a short illness at the Union County Hospital.

"Uncle Dave", as he was affectionately called by the multiple members of his family and close friends, had celebrated each of his centenarian birthdays with parties held at the home of his daughter, Mrs. D.M. Timmons. When he was 101, some sixty-six of his relatives attended the party, representing three states. On his 104th birthday there were 90 visitors to his birthday party that lasted all day. At that time a picture of five generations of his family were made and visitors were registered from as far away as Kansas. The five generations were Mr. Oglesby, Mrs. R.K. Baker, both of Pride, Mrs. Bill Jenkins of Morganfield and Mrs. Jimmy Rodgers of Indianapolis, and her son, Brian.

Mr. Oglesby and his late wife, the former Martha Whitledge who died in 1942, were the parents of 11 children, six boys and five girls, six of whom are still living. They are Miss Prudy Oglesby, Mrs. Nola Timmons, Mrs. Lottie Baker, Joe Oglesby and Charles Oglesby all of Union County, and Carroll Oglesby of Henderson.

He had been a resident of Union County for over 84 years, always residing in the Boxville-Pride area.

When asked to what he attributed his longevity on his 101st birthday, he said it was probably due to a family trait as his grandmother, Betty Shelton Oren lived to be 108 years old. His mother, Mary Elizabeth Shelton, came from North Carolina, settling near Sebree where he was born, over a century ago.

His prescription for a long life was moderation in all things, including eating. Mr. Oglesby has always been a farmer and a staunch Republican. He still possessed an alert mind and a keen sense of humor up to the time of his death, even though he lost his eyesight 16 years ago."

Miss Lora Oglesby, 78-year-old daughter of the centurian, followed her father in death Sunday.
The two are survived by the above listed children, brothers and sisters. Mr. Oglesby also has 17 grandchildren, 30 great-grandchildren and eight great-great-grandchildren.
Joint funeral services were conducted at three o'clock Tuesday at Whitsell Funeral Home in Morganfield, with Brother Sam Belo and Brother Edmond Jacobs officiating. Burial was in the Bordley Cemetery. *

* Obituaries dated March 21, 1973, newspaper unknown. Contributed by Bill Oglesby of Henderson, who is the grandson of David Wilson Oglesby.
