Growing up I never knew my ancestry nor did my mother on the Shelton side. She could only remember back to her Mamaw Wright which was the great granddaughter of James Shelton of McMinn co. Tn. What a suprise it was to realize my sweet friend Pockey was married to my 1st cousin 4x removed. This information didnot come until well after his death and the death of his wife. Everyday I would ride my bike to Pocky's house and sit for hours on his front porch while he would tell me all kinds of wonderful stories. He was like a grandfather to me and many other children in the community. I will never forget the sweet little bald headed man who kept all us kids entertained.
