John Shelton 12
Property:
The "Madison County History Volume II" indicates that Stephen & Dartha came to Leon County ca 1854 and owned 845 acres and that both are buried in the Old Shelton Graveyard (distroyed). Have been unable to find anyone in Leon or Madison county records that know where this "distroyed" Old Shelton Graveyard was located and how/when it actually got distroyed. We assume it may have been on the property that Stephen/Dartha owned, but find no land records on the 845 acres either.
