Notes
a. Note:   iographical Record Of New Haven County, Connecticut, containing biographical sketches of prominent and representative citizens and of many of the early settled families ... Chicago, J.H. Beers & co., 1902. (referenced by Amy Montgomery-Nowlan, 1990) BURIAL: Email from Nancy Self to Marshall at [email protected] on 7/31/2000: "Last month I made a quick trip to Connecticut locating quite a bit on Jere and Katy Sheldon, parents of Nicholas including their burial site in the Damascus cemetery of Branford. I found Susan Sheldon age 65 in the Evergreen Cemetery in New Haven. There is no marker and she is buried in a lot that holds no other Sheldons." DEATH: Susan as wife of Nicholas Sheldon last appears in the 1860 Census. DEATH: Email from Nancy Self to Marshall Brown at [email protected] on 7/31/2000: "I found Susan Sheldon age 65 in the Evergreen Cemetery in New Haven. There is no marker and she is buried in a lot that holds no other Sheldons. It is thought that she died ten years after Nicholas. The death date in the Evergreeen interments for Susan is 28 Dec 1870. While we have found nothing that connects this Susan to Nicholas it seems hightly likely that she belongs to us. How many Susan Sheldons died that week in Dec 1870 in New Haven County?" BIRTH: 10 Sep 1999: Research request online from Nancy Self, at URL http://members.aol.com/sheldons2/myguests.htm#Nicholas "Susan b. abt 1806 where?" (with other information and requests.) BIRTH: 30 Jul 2000: Email from Nancy Self to Marshall Brown: I do indeed have a birthday for Susan - 3 Sept 1805 who lived in North Goshen. The same source - Commemorative Biographical Record of New Haven Connecticut - states that their children including Eulius were born in North Goshen. The family moved to New Haven when Eulius was about 7. The only other information on Susan is that she was of Scotish extraction. The family always said Grandfather Sheldon was born in Branford but I put more faith in this volume. What do you think?
