F. M. SHELTON, one of Henry County's prominent fine stock breeders, was
born in Henry County, Ky., July 20, 1834, a son of Nat and Ann (Ross)
Shelton.  His father was born in Scott County, Ky., and was a son of David
who was born in Culpeper County, Va.  He is a son of Thomas, who was born
in Scotland.  Our subject's mother was a daughter of Zack Ross, of New
York, who was a Revolutionary soldier.  Our subject lived in Franklin
County for several years and was deputy sheriff for two years. He also
taught school for about one year.  He was married in March, 1866, to Lucy
Gaines, of Franklin County, daughter of Anderson Gaines, of Franklin
County.  Four children blessed their union: Salin, Lee F., Mary W. and John
F. M.  Our subject owns 150 acres of fine land near New Castle. He is now
making a specialty of fine stock, and among his blooded horses is "Bay
Star," a beautiful bay, star in slip, one white foot, black mane and tail,
sixteen hands high, and is three years old. He was sired by "Volunteer".
