     MacIntyre's notes say: Byrd says there were four children and names Raleigh and gives 8/19/1791 as marriage year. The book of marriage records I found says 1790 and lists the minister (see Judith's notes). The Surry co 1829 census shows 4 "Sheltan or Shelton" families: 2 Edward Shelton households, one Stephen and one Joseph (on same page). Copy in my files. For Stephen Sheltan: 1 male 0-10; 1 male 10-16; 1 male 16-26 (this could be Raleigh); one male 45+ (Stephen, HOH); 1 female 10-16 (this could be Judith); 1 female 16-26; 1 female 26-45; 1 female 45+. In the household of Joseph one male <10; one male 16-26 (Joseph); 1 female 10-16.

Dorman gives the following for Stephen Chilton: Vol 14 pg. 127-8:"born ca. 1760, Culpeper co., VA. He enlisted in the fall of 1776 in Culpeper county for two years in Capt. George Slaughter's company in Col. Edward Stevens' regiment. When Slaughter was promoted John CHilton took command of the company [if Byrd's dates are right he'd be 10 years old. Don't know which John CHilton Dorman is referring to]. He was discharged at Valley Forge (Dorman's ref here is the "Bounty warrant, Stephen Chilton, Virginia State Library), was then given up to the British who kept him on an island in the St. Lawrence River chained to another prisoner for five or six months. He was then sent to New York where he was given his liberty (Dorman's ref: Revolutionary War pension application, Stephen Chelton,
S.1189). After the war he lived in the part of Culpeper County which became Madison County until 1795 (Dormans ref: Culpeper co., VA and Madison Co VA personal property tax lists. His name is more frequently spelled Shelton on thises lists).

He married 19 Aug. 1790 in Culpeper County Frances Norman (Dorman's ref: Katherine Lindsay Knorr, Marriages of Culpeper co. VA, 1781-1815 (Pine Bluff, Ark., 1954 p. 21) daughter of Joseph and Sarah (----) Norman (Dormans ref: George H.S. King, "Norman Family," Journal of North Carolina Genealogy, v. 11, pp 1518-19). In 1831 he was living in Surry co NC (ref King again) but by 1833 had moved to Woodford co., KY where he was living at the time of the 1850 census, aged 89."

Byrd shows Raleigh and 3 other as children of Stephen Chilton and the following ancestry for Steven Chilton, but without any references save a remark about these being taken from actual family records. The VAGN material is well referenced, although I have not double checked them. Neither list Judith Chilton, but Judith as daughter of Stephen and Francis Norman Chilton is consistent with both and a number of other things:
1. see not on Judith Chilton about Stephen administering will of Robert Harris d 1816;
2. The 1820 Surry co NC census has listings that are consistent with both Raleigh's and Judith's birthdates;
3. Stephen Chilton was from Culpepper and our Judith was born in Culpepper (I'm not sure of ref for this other than Aunt Jean said something about the tombstone; haven't checked death records yet).
Byrd lists Stephen Chilton's birthdate as Jan 1, 1766; Dorman says ca 1760. Bryd lists Stephen Chilton's deathdate as 1837; Dorman says by 1833, he had moved to Woodford co KY where he was living at the time of the 1850 census, aged 89.
Byrd says Stephen Chilton's father was Richard Chilton who married Judith Carter. Byrd may have been inspired to find a lineage for his wife thru Judith Carter's family back to Charlemagne. Dorman lists this Judith Carter as married to
Stephen's cousin William Chilton. William had a brother named Richard who also married a Judith. According to Dorman both William and Richard were sons of William who was a brother of THOMAS, the man Dorman gives as being Stephen's father. (see VAGN vol 14 esp pg. 123-28) Byrd however, gives the following and says this information is from actual family records:
Stephen Chilton b Jan 1 1766 d 1839 son of
Richard Chilton b ca 1740 Lancaster co & Judith Carter, Richard the son of William Chilton b ca 1720, d 1791, the son of William Chilton b 1700 d 1791, the son of Stephen Chilton d 1753
Mark Chilton of Prince WIlliam Co, VA d 1715, the son of John b. 1600 and Catherine Chilton of Chilston Manor in County Kent, Eng..
According to Byrd, John and Catherine had 3 sons: John and Thomas lived in Westmoreland Co VA and Mark, who lived in both Lancaster and Prince William Counties in VA and was the direct ancestor of the Surry CountyCHiltons. I was first inclined to go with Dorman because of all of the footnotes, until I looked closer and discovered there were no real good footnotes linking generation to generation except for wills that did not cite birthdates nor preclude aunts and uncles of the same name. For instance, Thomas Chilton on page 125 of vol 14 is listed as having "the following children and perhaps others" (five listed) but, while he may have had them (a will in this case was NOT cited) one or more of the ones mentioned may have been his brothers' children. Because Byrd and Dorman agree on the number of children for Richard and Dorman lists the spouses, this file will reflect Byrd in this instance and use Dorman's names and spouses. It is necessary to write the NC Genealogical Society to find out if Luther Byrd's family (esp his wife's family) still has the "actual family records" he refered to. So this file basically follows Byrd with additional notes and material from Dorman when it fits and a note for what it says something different. Dorman is questionable about the parentage of Byrd's William Sr. and suggests a different line than Byrd but without conviction.¹
