  • Notes  Married:
    • William Sheldon, of this Parish [Wolford] and Anne Kenny of Toddenham, Glocester by Walker, Rector of Barcheston. Witnesses: Thomas Lee? and Robert Sheldon. Signed William Sheldon and Ann Kening
    • An unusual record, Todenham was Ann's home parish. A record is listed as of "William Sheldon and Ann Kinny" being recorded but the rest of the record talks about a different couple entirely. This was a few months after their actual marriage in Wolford.

Rev. Henry O. Sheldon

The Rev. Henry O. Sheldon is often considered the grandfather of Sheldon genealogy. While traveling as a preacher he met other Sheldons and wondered how they were all related. Eventually, he began collecting genealogies & piecing the various Sheldon branches together, first published in 1855 as the Sheldon Magazine.

From his private journal: Monday, 4th of May, 1818, age 19, the start of his travels:

“Snowed some last night – roads wet and splashy – At half-past eleven A.M. started on a western tour – took an affectionate leave of my parents and brother and sister after receiving their advice & prayer for my preservation, — rode 25 miles – The day was wet & cold & stormy – Winds N.W.”
