Othor Mathews men of same generation were Levi, Abner and Alvaro and (Jeorge. A seems to have been a favorite letter.

According to savage's j Genealogical Dictionary of New Eng- land, Isaac Sheldon was at Wind- sor. Conn., in 1652, and John Shel- don at Providence, R. I., in 1682. Savage mentions no as having settled from the first in Virginia. The Sheldon Magazine; or, A Genealogical List of the in America, 1855, apparently attempts completeness, j Among possibly other Sheldon immi- j grants there ls mentioned in it John Sheldon of Kingston, R. I., who died 1706. Savage regards Sheldon and Shelden as alternative spellings but makes Shelton a different name altogether. A glance through the indices of the Virginia Magazine of History and Biography and the William and Mary College Quarterly, Indicates that Shelton is a very common name ln Virginia, while Sheldon (Shelden) is very uncommon. In the New England Historical antl Genealogical Register, Vol. 80 (1926) pages 378-401, there is an important genealogical article on the English antecedents Isaac Sheldon of Windsor, Conn. H. D. G.
