  • Notes 
    • In 1762 Crispen Shelton patented 3,000 acres in Pittsylvania along Panther, now Whltethorn Creek, where he settled. His will was proven in February, 1794, in which he bequeathed:

      To son Abraham Shelton, six slaves.
      To son Gabriel Shelton, four slaves.
      To son Lewis Shelton, four slaves.
      To son Beverley Shelton, four slaves.
      To son Spencer Shelton, four slaves.
      To son Armisted Shelton, four slaves.
      To son Vincent Shelton, four slaves, also watch and Bible Burket and all lands.
      To daughters Elizabeth Hurt, Jane Todd wife of William Todd, Susanna Dickerson wife of Griffith Dickerson, four slaves each.

      Crispen Shelton was the son of Ralph Shelton and his wife Mary Pollard of Middlesex County, who were probably married about 1712. The Parish Register of the county gives the following entries concerning their children:

      Crispen, son of Ralph and Mary Shelton, born April 1, 1713, baptized May 17, 1713.
      John, son of Ralph and Mary Shelton, born July 19, 1722, baptized August 12, 1722.
      Benjamin, son of Ralph and Mary Shelton, born June 18, 1724, baptized July 12, I724.
      Daniel, son of Ralph and Mary Shelton, born May 17, 1729, baptized June 22, 1729.

      Ralph Shelton was the son of Sarah Shelton and Richard Gassage of New Kent, and he for some reason retained his mother's maiden name. Tradition says that Sarah Shelton and Richard Shelton were the emigrant children of a ship's captain who was drowned in the English Channel in 1691. After the death of her husband Mrs. Sarah Shelton Gassage married in 1703 Joseph Bickley, of King William County, who was first sheriff of Louisa County.
