notes
From the files of Terry Esvelt: There is an article in the William and Mary Quarterly, reproduced in "Genealogies o f Virginia Families, Vol. IV," Genealogical Publishing Co., 1982, p. 410, by Mrs. A.E. Whitaker entitled "The Sheltons." In it, she mentions that "In 1681 Wm. Shelton had a grant of 150 acres in Gloucester Co., Va., and on December 10
1698, he married Hannah Armistead, daughter of Capt. Anthony Armistead, who was born in Elizabeth City Co., in 1648. " She doesn't give the parentage of this William Shelton, but she does provide a great deal of information about the Shelton family. The first emigrant was James Shelton, who came to Jamestown, Virginia with Lord Delaware in 1610. In addition, she states that according to Greer's "Early Immigrants," a Fr. Shelton and a Richard Shelton, two brothers, came to Virginia in 1638. It's not known whether they were related to the first immigrant James Shelton.
Plantation Currioman built by John Shelton in Westmoreland County, Virginia about the year 1660. In 1672, he bought another plantation called "Carotoman" in Lancaster County, Virginia. In the year 1670, he built a family home in Hanover County, Virginia and called it "Rural Plains" which is still owned by make descendants.
These homes were inherited by John Shelton's children-- Capt. Thomas Shelton inherited "Currioman" and William Shelton inherited "Rural Plains". (Wikipedia) Rural Plains, also informally known as Shelton House, is a historic farm house dating to the 1720s in Mechanicsville, Virginia, Hanover County; it is one of the sites included within the Richmond National Battlefield Park.[3] The building was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1975. - https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rural_Plains
