I am Vonette J Shelton-Curtis
My great grandfather was illegitimate (no father known)
His mother was Lucinda Shelton, daughter of Josiah Cyrus Shelton
Now, through DNA of a male family member "John Shelton" the
son of Durwood Shelton and Durwood Shelton was the son of my
great grandfather, General Winfield Scott Shelton who was illigimate.
I have checked and checked and me and another researcher, pretty well know we
are OGLESBY'S through this DNA. I do not want to open a can of worms but, if a male
of the line of Gustavas Adolphus Oglesby would do a DNA test...I could know for sure, if his father was an Oglesby. You see Gustavas Adolphus married (Lucinda Shelton's sister) Mary Elizabeth Shelton who was a daughter of Josiah Cyrus Shelton and Elizabeth Oran. They had 11 children and 7 were boys and maybe one of their sons or grandson's could do this DNA test.
Called a Y-DNA test. If you know of any of these descandents of Gustavas Adolphus Oglesby I will help on the test cost. euglenagail@aol.com .... help me is you can Thanks in advance
I can help you with Stephen Oglesby...email me or share through the thread
