It is unknown if the change was done officially, and which members of Tom's family may have changed from Shelten to Shelton. However, Tom was born as Shelten, lived most of his life as Shelten, and is descended from the Shelten family. His first wife is buried as Shelten. His siblings were born, lived and died as Shelten. All of Tom's children were born as Shelten. Thanks to descendent Glenda, a granddau, for explaining why this family came to be Shelton.
