Notes for Josiah Cyrus (Spouse 1)
[SHELTONS TINA.FTW]

SOURCE: Son, John W.'s manuscript.

According to the family genealogy written by Josiah's youngest
son, John, Josiah was born in 1800, and married at the age of 19
(which would be in 1819). Marriage records indicate that Josiah
married in 1822 (if 19, born in 1802), so there are some
descrepancies between actual records and the documentation of
John Shelton. More accurate records are necessary to pin down
the true date of birth for Josiah. (3-6-2000)

Josiah and Elizabeth moved to Kentucky in 1837 according to
their son, John W. Shelton. (3-6-2000)

Checking the marriage bond records for North Carolina, Josiah is
listed with an Elizabeth Orran, marriage date given, and
bondsman is a William Orran, most likely Elizabeth's father. A
copy of the marriage bond was sent to me by cousin, Waunell
Murphy. Josiah signed this bond along with William
Orran.(2-5-2000)

Josiah is listed in the 1830 Rockingham county, NC Federal
census.

Josiah was granted 100 acres of land about 1838 in Henderson
county on Deer Creek. Survey date was 5-15-1838.THE KENTUCKY

his mother, must have come to Kentucky with Josiah because a
female of her age is listed in this census in his household. He
is listed between the ages of 41 & 50.

Kentucky. He is listed as 59 yrs old.
