I am looking for her grandmother, Julia Ann Shelton Nelson . The only thing I have is that she was born about 1823 in either N.C. or Va. I have been researching any Sheltons that might have lived in the Rowan,Lincoln Co. area.I am trying to compare the Shelton names with other names that are matches of surnames of my dna testing. Do you know anyone who might have Julia's parents names or where John and Julia may have lived? I have not found any kind of records to prove where or when they lived or died or when they married. I also do not know if they had any other children besides Mary's father William Columbus Nelson.If any thing on the Sheltons or Nelsons from William on back is available I would greatly appreciate it. I do have John Nelson's parents and siblings.

email me at preshayes@aol.com and I will send you what I have on Mary Ann Nelson and her husband Aaron Johnson Tweed. My mother, who is now 90, remembers Mary Ann and the hard times that followed the death of her husband Aaron. Mary Ann tried to eke out a living for herself and her two youngest children, but according to my grandfather, the family was near starvation when he brought Mary Ann to his own home and saw to it that the then-young children Fred and Roxie could live with their siblings in their homes. Both Mary Ann and Aaron are buried at Stranger Cemetery in Greene County, Tennessee, just a few miles from where they were born in Madison County, North Carolina. Vicky knows much more about the father of Mary Ann Nelson.
