GEORGE SHELTON



     George Shelton applied for revolutionary pension while living in Fentress

County, Tenn., Jan. 6, 1834. He was born "on the James River in Virginia" date

and name of county not given, but as he was 72 years of age in 1834, he was born

in 1762. He was reared in Buncombe County, N. C. where he resided when he

enlisted in the winter of 1777 in Capt. Gray's North Carolina company in an

expedition against the Cherokee Indians. He enlisted again in the spring of 1777

and served again in Capt. Gray's company, marching against the Cherokee Indians.

He enlisted again and served in Capt. Mucklehaney's company (the name also

appears as Mclehaney), North Carolina troops and was in the battles of King's

Mountain and Eutaw Springs. After the Revolution he lived in Buncombe County, N.

C. for many years. He then moved to Rutherford County, Tenn. to Knox County,

Tenn., where he lived ten years, to Anderson County, Tenn., and then to Fentress

County about 1823.
