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 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.

Research Notes:
In 2009 when John had his YDNA test the results came back as match in 37 and 67 tests. No common denominator was found. On Feb 27, 2013, a tester in the Oglesby group, Richard Arthur (Oglesby) Wilson, was a match to him in the 37, with a step 2 match. As it turned out, the Sheltons (Mary Elizabeth) married into the Oglesby line with her marriage to Gustavas Adolphus Oglesby, so assuming that must be the reason the Shelton line showed a match.
Richard Arthur descends from Jesse Oglesby; and Gustavas descends from Contant, Sr., Jesse and Contant being brothers; making Jesse the great-uncle of Gustavas.
