ALERT: Often confused with cousin Samuel B. Bailey, also born 1840, died Dec 21 1899, Randolph Co. buried with wife, also named Martha (Fisher) in Oakland Church Cemetery, Moberly MO.

m1: Elmira J. Vansant Dec 10 1863, Hancock IN. She was dau of William & Anna Vansant.
m2: Martha Unk (born abt 1853/IN) before 1880; she is NOT Margaret Fisher, who married Samuel B. Bailey.

Children/est birth years as shown in census, assumed to be Shelton's children
Children in household 1870 census, Elmira assumed to be mother:
-Alice "Allie" abt 1864-
-Silla (female) abt 1867- (not in household 1880)
-Albert C. abt 1870-
children named in 1880 census:
-Charles Griggs abt 1870- (may be same as Albert C?)
-Albert abt 1872- *
(it seems unlikely he named two children Albert, may have had only the 1st three listed children, with incorrect ages shown in 1880, ie Samuel was 30 in 1870, 35 in 1880.)

Civil War veteran
