Re: shelburne book lookup

kathdeam — 2009-10-31 22:32:47Z

Okay, from what I gather our common ancestor is Thomas Hand Shelburne (Susan Elizabeth Heslet). Their son Jacob Frankin (your gg grandfather) is my great grandfather John Thomas' brother. That makes your great grandfather, Ira Elihu and my grandmother Gertrude cousins.
I currently have two sons for Ira Elihu.
So my line going back from most recent Shelburne (my grandmother) is: Gertrude May dau of John Thomas Shelburne and Amanda May Pollard; John Thomas son of Thomas Hand Shelburne and Susan Elizabeth Heslet (our common ancestor).
Please contact me directly at katdeam@frontier.com I don't like posting more recent info on this venue. Plus, I check that email more frequently than the one that ancestry.com has as my contact.

My great Grandfather was Ira Elihu Shelburne. I followed the family tree back to Thomas Shelburne who married Elizabeth Augustin. His father was William Shillborn I believe. How are you related? Maybe we can work on the tree together if we are related in a way. If this sounds right, let me know.

Re: shelburne book lookup

kathdeam — 2009-01-28 07:09:32Z

Thanks. Have lots of questions but which book and what pages were the main ones. Next major question is anyone willing to copy the pages and send to me (I will pay copying and postage fees). I haven't been able to find any of the books in my area.
Thank you again for the lookup.

Linda-Pleas give me more info and I will find your John in the 4 books;such as middle initial, birth year or death year and/or location. Just guess year and state if you don't know. John and Mary are probably the most often used Shelburne names.Regards O B Shelburne

Shelburn(e) books - question

london_x — 2008-12-07 21:29:39Z

How do the 4 books work...what I mean is, how do you determine which book might be the one with your family line? I just recently discovered that my family is descended from Mary (Polly) Shelburn(e), daughter of John Shelburn(e). So, would Mary's info be in the book of John? Or, is it iecessary to travel further back? And, are any of these books available?
(Pardon my lack of knowledge - I'm a newbie here!)

Marvin Hanner- I have info and pictures of your grandpa Marvin Shelburne whose daughter Cleo Faye Shelburne Hanner is(I assume)your mother.

Shelburne Cemetery

brendafaysmith — 2008-03-10 21:11:53Z

There is a Shelburne family cemetery near Christiansburg Va. It is a very old cemetary and was in very bad condition when i visited there in 1969.
I do not know the exact location, I wish I did, and there is no one on that side of the family left to ask. Just FYI.

Re: john p shelburne

MLHanner — 2008-02-19 23:53:24Z

Hi there, the person you describe in this post sounds a lot like my grandfather "Marvin Shelburne". Since I have very little info about him except that he was born in New Mexico, was a oil field worker and farmer, and died in Howard Texas May 13, 1967. Could this be the same Marvin? Thanks, Marvin Hanner

Re: Shelburnes of Gainsville TX

OShelburne — 2007-06-26 16:35:10Z

Possible source of Bereman name: Bereman Shelburne was born ca. 1788 Falquier Co. Va. Tax roles show a Maximn (Mack) Berryman in Falquier Co in 1777-79. Bereman's mother Charlotte Elizabeth Willis was from Culpeper Co. (next to Falquier). Charlotte named her first son Robinson after his grandma Mary Robinson Shelburne. My guess is the 2nd son Bereman was named after his maternal grandma who was a Berryman (Bereman)from Culpeper/Faquier area Va.

Re: Shelburnes of Gainsville TX

Pn2e5 — 2007-06-25 20:02:34Z

Thank you for your quick reply. Although I was born and raised in the South (my mothers side) until I came across Bereman Shelburne no other Bereman's served for the C. S. A.
A bunch of them served for the Union however. My family, and to my knowledge all living Bereman's are decendents of Thomas Bereman who moved to Mercer Co. Ky from N.J. with the family moving to IN and points west after that. Spencer County is only a little north of Mercer Co. I have not been able to make the connection. Either there is a line of Bereman's that research has not been aware of (not likely) the name was through marriage (unable to connect) or they were neighbors at one time or another (most likely)the later fits with your family history. Thomas Bereman was a veteran of the War of Indepence so there may be a connection there. Anyway the name has sparked interest with me and other Bereman researchers so if we come up with anything we'll let you know.

Hello there, My name is Penny Williamson, I live in Indiana. I am desparate to get a copy of "The Book of John" my mother & I are listed on page 292 & my immediate family alson from pages 280 to 325. My uncle Walter is one interviewed for the book & mentioned on page 289 to 292. I must get a copy to preserve my family history for my son & cousins. Walter's daughter lives in North Carolina & my other Shelburn cousin lives in Terre Haute, IN. I found only one copy on-line several weeks ago & thought I would try rootsweb by chance finding some for sale. How may I get my hands on one. Please advise, I may be reached at pwilliamson14@netscape.com or 404 Shawnee Lane, Bedford, IN; daughter to June Shelburn, granddaughter to Earl. Are we related? Thank you

Again Thank you, I have read your message with such excitment. I just can't wait to see book. I have heard of it so many times but since it was so hard to find just sort of wrote it off as something I would never locate. I can't believe this! Penny

Re: SHELBURN Indiana Tree

2006-06-04 14:12:23Z

All the info I gave you is in Richard Buck's book- Shelburne The Book of John. Your mother on page 292. Sure you will find kin living today in Terre Haute area.There are two copies of the book listed in my World Catalog ; Main Library in Terre Haute 812-232-1113; and Willard Lib in Evansville, 812-425-4309.
Our common ancestor is Augustine Shelburne b. 1698 Jamestown Va. His son Rev. James's descendants came to Tx in 1837 via Va., Tn. and Al. I live in Austin Tx. You are descendant of James's brother Thomas whose son John (Book of John) came to Ky. about 1803. Some of John's descendants moved further west to Indiana.

Orville, I forgot to tell you my connection to Earl Shelburn. He was my grandfather. My mother was one of his daughters. He & his wife Bessie Padget both were gone before I was born in 1949. My mother was June Shelburn. Again, thanks!

Re: SHELBURN Indiana Tree

2006-06-03 15:58:44Z

Oh My God! Orville, I think I love you. I desparently have longed for information about both my great grandfather & great grandmother. I do not have any information about Earl & the Shelburne's except my mother used to speak of Shelburn Indiana. I am going to Terre Haute & Shelburn, IN this next Monday. I so appreciate your information & wonder how did you know or are you a family member? I could only find on-line that Flora was Earl's mother but never could figure out his father or the Shelburne family. m Any information would be so appreciative. My address is Penny Williamson, 404 Shawnee Lane, Bedford, IN 47421 or e-mail pwilliamson14@netscape.com. Do you know if there are any Shelburne's around anymore? I am so thankful! Penny

Re: SHELBURN Indiana Tree

2006-06-03 14:39:58Z

Earl is on page 289 of: "Shelburne- The Book of John" by Richard Buck. The book, 334 pages, is rare but copies may be in library in Indiana. Earl's mother was Flora Etna Shelburn b. 30 Nov 1864, father unknown. Earl raised by Flora's parents William Spencer and Dorotha Minerva Mahan Shelburn. I can xerox a few pages and mail to you if you wish. Are you interested in Earls mothers ancestors or Earl's descendants?
Or I can answer specific questions by looking it up in my book. Regards Orville Shelburne

Hi! You need to get a copy of Shelburne: The Book of Silas by the late Richard W. Buck, copyrighted 1973. Nathaniel Burwell Shelburne is your ancestor. We are likely very distant cousins. My ancestor was a different Nathaniel (Nathaniel R. Shelburne of Pulaski County, VA and formerly of Lunenburg County, VA b. ca. 1805-d. ca. 1895). I have just written a 150 page book on my branch. You could try interlibrary loan to get the book on Silas. By the way, Richard Buck wrote three other books on Shelburne families from the VA, TN, KY areas.

Sorry I can't help you. The Shelburne in my line would have been in the colonies in the 1600s--too early to be your line.

my ancestry

kjstaylor — 2005-01-31 18:56:00Z

Hello! I do believe that your bunch and my bunch are related. From the research of Dr. Robert Craig Shelburne and Col. Richard Buck, I understand that a James Oliver Shelburne who lived in the late 1800s said that a Thomas Shelburne came from Wales to Va and married a woman named Elizabeth. Their child, Augustine, Sr. married Mary (possibly a Mansfield) and had Thomas, Mary, James, and Augustine, Jr. Thomas and Mary died young. James moved 10 miles northwest of Williamsburg on Old Stage Road and had children Samuel,James, Jr., John, and William. Some of their descendants are said to have stayed in the James City/New Kent area. Augustine's other child, Augustine, Jr., also lived on Old Stage Road until he moved, with his family, to Lunenburg Co., VA on Reedy Creek five miles from the Lunenburg Courthouse. His children were John, Thomas, James, and Elizabeth. I believe that this Thomas is the grandfather of my Nathaniel but I can't really prove it. I have written a book on the descendants of Nathaniel and would love to firmly connect him. Look forward to hearing from you, Sheri, and from anyone else connected to this line.
