INTRODUCTION About 45 years ago some friends and I were talking about things in general, when m~ friends began talking about their Ancestry-their grandfathers and great grandfathers. I finally remarked that I didn't know my grandfather's name on either side. One of my friends in surprise exclaimed, "What!"-and jokeingly made an ugly remark. I hung my head for a moment and said, ''Well, I don't know, but I am going to find out, beginning right now." I began thinking just how did I come to be here? Who, where, when and how did I get here and know so little about it. Inasmuch as the Christian-Skelton families are scattered all over the United States, and very few records are being kept, we have been gradually losing contact with even our nearest kinfolks with the result we do not know what relation we are to each other. After giving this some thought, it weighed heavily on m~ mind and I felt constrained to give serious consideration to these conditions; not only for our own benefit, but for future genera­ tions. I feel that it will be an appreciated inheritance. The purpose of this writing is not to furnish history for the general public, but primarily a collection of information concerning only the families, relatives and friends. We have no intention of searching for persons of prominence, wealth or achievements, and boastfully claiming kin to them; neither are we trying to "Separate the goats from the sheep" (If there is one goat in the flock, I am IT-the "Scape-goat") . In my efforts to give to my people an ancestral and genealog­ ical background, I have studied thousands of official and court records-law-suits, Wills, Deeds, tv1arriages etc.; family Bibles, cemeteries and many other records. Some of our present generation have shown a lack of interest in this research, but many have expressed their appreciation and others have given considerable assistance. I have relied upon the word of mem,bers of a few of our local and present families, but beyond this, I had to take documental records found at county SPats, State Capitols and libraries scattered over the eastern part of the United States. Hundreds of counties have been visited personally, in Tennessee, North Carolina, South Carolina, Mary­ land, New Jersey, Indiana, Missouri, Arkansas and other states. I I have had access to most of the large libraries in State Capitols and others; Library of Congress; Census records, Veterans records, Pension records and other history in the National Archives at Washington, D. C. Wills, deeds, and marriage and other records in the above mentioned counties and states have contributed liberally to these records and made it possible to connect our lines back to the immigrants. Much credit must be given to others; especially to the late Mrs. Mildred Campbell Whitaker, of Missouri, who has given us the records of the Shelton-Skelton families in England and Ireland and the early immigrants to Virginia. This is a wonderful piece of work, and is copied in part in this book. I have given more time and study to the early history and origin of these family names than to the present families which are now representatives of every state in the Union; many thousands of whom I do not know and cannot find. I have tried to get a back-ground for these families, who, if they wish, may trace back two or three generations and connect. I have had some criticism from a few people who have not given it a thought; even some who have thought it little short of sinfulness. But my Bible teaches that we should give an account of our stewardship, and has as much to say about genealogy as anything else. Moses gave us the direct genealogy from the be­ ginning to Abraham, which covers a period of more than 3000 years. Genealogy is found all thru the Bible; read it, it is Biblical. Genealogy is not easy to compile, and less easy to understand by the laymen who have not made it a study; but must be studied as any text book to get a clear picture of what is meant to be conveyed. "Our fathers in a wonderous age, Ere yet the earth was small Insured to us ·an heritage, And doubted not at all That the children of their hearts Which then did beat so high, In later times should play like part For our posterity." -Kipling Should we forget them? II "Children's children are the crown of old men; and the glory of children are their fathers." -Proverbs 17 :6. "Like leaves on the trees the race of man is found Now green in youth, now withered on the ground; Another race the following spring supplies; They rise successive and successive fall : So generations in their course decay; So flourish these, when those are passed away. -Homer Take a dozen jig-saw puzzles With fragments jumbled together Place them in their proper huddle For they will fit in no other. When each is in its respective place Then the picture is clearly done. You've ,von your genealogical race, And can tell which is your own. Worthy ancestors and desc~ndants •are those who have bettered the race by their serving as individuals. Ancestry is not an end, but a beginning. It is like the old proverbial needle in a haystack; but I contend that a needle in a haystack can be found if every straw is removed one by one. Every genealogist has a way of his own in studying family history. I have studied many of these histories and have selected what I think is the best points, and most easily understood. Since this work is primarily for the families interested, and not especially for other genealogists, I have refrained from using unfamiliar terms and abbreviations too often used by specialists.
