The Historical Library here has all 8 volumes of  " MAGNA CHARTA ", by John S. Wurts,  the volumes alluded to in the Shelton History . Volume 6 is indeed the volume concerning James Shelton and his descendants. Strange though,  The " Shelton " name was not in the index, apparently missed,  in spite of two pages on the Shelton's. It does corroborate what is in the Shelton History. It does clear up one thing I have wondered about, who the mother of James wife was, it was Susan Rich. It reads " James Shelton, Clerk of York Co. VA from 1714-1716, and a vestryman at St Paul's. He married Mary, dau of Sir Edward Bathurst of Gloucester, England, and his second wife, Susan Rich, who was born 1615 ". It only mentions one son of James, John of " Currioman " of Westmoreland Co. VA.  Alas, no where in the 8 Volumes does it mention a Peter Shelton!!.  If we can tie Peter to this family it takes back to the Kings of England!. Big Deal. Perhaps that is why Peter is said to be a son of this James??.
Elaine, it does mention Augustine Shepherd, son of Christopher, who had a dau Mary who married John Haggard, son of Nathaniel and Elizabeth Gentry Haggard. They had issue Elizabeth who married Joel Quissenberry. I think this is part of your family. There is more, including dates, if you don't have this let me know.
I have found another land deed where Peter bought additional land in Middlesex Co. 16 Feb 1697 purchased land from James Dudley. It does not show acres, but gives the boundaries, which seems to be a large tract, and he paid " Ten Thousands pounds of good swt sented Tobacco and Casque this 16 day of February 1697 ". That's a lot of Tobacco. Peter must of been a man of means.  Oh where did he come from??. Patrick Murray (XXXXX@XXXX.XXX)
