    • Research Notes: 28 Feb 2013; Y-DNA step 2 match

    Notes:

    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.

    Mary married Gustavus Adolphus Oglesby, (Y-DNA step 2 match) on 14 Apr 1852 in Webster Co, Kentucky. Gustavus (son of Sheriff Constant Oglesby, Jr. and Nancy Ann Knight) was born on 9 Sep 1829 in Christian Co, Kentucky; died on 29 Jul 1896 in Bordley, Union Co, Kentucky; was buried in Bordley Cem, Bordley, Union Co, Kentucky.

    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.
