Children:

3. Nicholas SHELTON (b. ABT 1212 - d. 1257)
5. Peter SHELTON
Notes: Listed by the Visitation of Norfolk as a son of Henry de Shelton and shows him with one son, John, though his wife’s name was not shown. The Harleian MSS of the Knights of Edward I have perhaps this John listed as Sir John Shelton serving for Robert de Shelton on 6 Jul 1277. As the son of Robert de Shelton was either not yet born or an infant in 1277, it was likely this John who is referenced. If so, then he was likely the John de Shelton summoned from Norfolk and Suffolk to serve against the Scots 24 Jun 1301. May also be the John de Shelton pardoned 10 Nov 1303 for the death of a man in consideration for his service in Scotland (the letter patent issued from Dumferline on that date reads “Pardon in consideration of service in Scotland to John de Shelton for the death of Roger le Yongebonde of Shelton”). The Visitation indicates that he died in 1306.

Father: Robert SHELTON (Sir)
Mother: Isabel ?Married: Nicholas De CASTELLO of Raveningham (son of Walter De Castello and Sara Roscelyne)
Notes: listed as 2nd son in his father’s IPM in 1306. Blomefield says that this Thomas and his brother Henry presented to the church in Scole. Possibly the Thomas De Shelton for whom a writ was issued 20 Jul 1322 from York to go on the King’s service in Scotland with Thomas of Brotherton, Earl Marshal and Earl of Norfolk. Another writ was issued 26 Mar 1324 to him for protection to go beyond the seas with Edmund, Earl of Kent.

Father: Robert SHELTON (Sir)
Mother: Isabel ?Born: ABT 1287
Notes: Mentioned in his father’ s IPM. He is likely the Robert De Shelton that Blomefield says in 1316 held fees in Mundham and Bedingham.
Father: Robert SHELTON (Sir)
Mother: Isabel ?Born: 1280, Skelton Castle, Skelton, Cumberland, England
Died: ABT 1333Notes: 13th Lord of Shelton was Knighted of Shire of Cumberland. Kathryn M Brown, p 16, says he suceeded his cousin, Richard, to the Shelton estates. He was also known as John de Schelton. He lived in Skelton Castle, Cumberland; and was a Knight of the Shire of Cumberland. Kathryn M Brown, p 13, gives quite a bit of data on Sir John and lists his two wives as Maud and Hawys, daughter of Prince of Powys of Wales.
By 12 Nov 1306, he had done homage for his inheritance and the escheator beyong Trent was ordered to deliver his lands to him. In 1302, John was found to have a quarter fee in Shelton, held of the Earl Marshall as well as land in Heverlond. He was summoned to the Great Council in Westminster 9 May 1324. John De Shelton married Margaret (also called Maud). Some sources says that she was the daughter of Robert De Brus, E. Carrick, and Margaret De Galloway, w. of William De Carlyle. The marriage seems to have been very unhappy. He was dead by 1333, for 27 Jan 1333 a writ was issued from York ordering John De Blomvill, escheator in the counties of Norfolk, Suffolk etc., to take into the King’s hands, the lands late of John De Shelton, tenant-in-chief. In another writ from Cowick the following 15 Mar, the escheator was ordered to ensure that any dower assigned to Margaret, widow of John De Shelton was removed from her hands, as the King had learned that she had long withdrawn from her husband to be with her paramour and since she was never reconciled with him, should have no dower. Copinger says that she eventually remarried to Thomas Kenyng.
There
is also an Edmund Shelton in this time frame who possibly is part of this
family. A writ of protection was
issued to Edmund De Shelton 28 Mar 1324 for going with the King’s brother
Edmund, Earl of Kent beyond the seas. 30 Apr 1327 a writ issued from Nottingham
Father: Robert SHELTON (Sir)
Mother: Isabel ?Married: Margaret ? ABT 1301, Shelton, Norfolk, England
Children:4. Edmund SHELTON (Sir)
Born: ABT 1305
Notes: He is not mentioned by Blomefield, but the Visitation of Norfolk has him as second son and says that he was warden of the forest of Pickering in 1334.
Father: John SHELTON (Sir)
Mother: Margaret ?Born: ABT 1307
Notes: In 1316 Robert and his brother John sold their share in the manor of Heverland to another brother Nicholas. In 1325 he and William Tastard were guardians of John De Lowdham as noted in church records in Frense. In 1333, Robert Shelton, clerk, had land in Shelton.
Father: John SHELTON (Sir)
Mother: Margaret ?Notes: In 1316 he and his wife Alice purchased shares of the manor of Heverland from his brothers John and Robert. Blomefield says that he and his wife Alice had a son Thomas. Possibly the Nicholas De Shelton who along with Sir John Moritz was nominated by Maud, late wife of Eustace Powers as her attorneys in Ireland 4 Apr 1346.
Father: John SHELTON (Sir)
Mother: Margaret ?Married: Alice ?
Children:1. Thomas SHELTON
Notes: In 1308, his father settled the manor of Hardwick on John and his wife
Agatha, probably a daughter of Sir John
Gedding of Lincolnshire. The arms of
Gedding were found by Blomefield to impale those of Shelton in several armorial
windows and manuscripts. She
appears to have died before 1313, for in that year John Shelton settled the same
manor on himself, his wife Joan and their heirs. The Visitation has her as the second wife and has no children assigned to
her. Blomefield has a third wife
for John Shelton, Alice daughter of Sir Robert de Burgullion,
though the Visitation does not. Sir
John Shelton sold lands near the Church of St Helen near Mundham to Walter
De
Filby and Sir Thomas Preston. He apparently did not survive his father for long since
Apr 1333,
William, Bishop of Norwich was given custody of the lands of Ralph Shelton son
of John Shelton during his minority.
Alice Shelton died before 1334, her IPM being 26 Aug 1335
where in Shelton she held a messuage, lands and rents held for her life of the
inheritance of Ralph De Shelton etc. A writ issued 1 May 1334 with an order

Father: John SHELTON (Sir)
Mother: Alice De BURGULLIONDied: 17 Nov 1378, Shelton, Norfolk, England
Buried: Nov 1378, St. Marys, Shelton, Norfolk, EnglandNotes: William, Bishop of Norwich was given custody of his estates in 1333 until such time as Ralph attained majority. At his mother's death in 1334, he was made Lord of the Manor. Though because the honor of knighthood was so expensive, he put off that title as long as possible. In 1346, King Edward III granted his letters of patent showing that he was in the King's own company at Crecy ( a great English victory in the Hundred Years' War 1337-1453, a succession of wars between England and France. It was one of the first battles in which the English soldiers used gunpowder) and was knighted for his part in saving the life of the Black Prince. He built the Old Shelton Hall which was destroyed by fire in 1600. He married twice, first to his cousin, Anne, the daughter of Sir Ralph Burgullion; second to Joan De Plays. According to both Blomefield and the Visitation, on his marriage to Joan de Plays in 1346, Ralph settled Shelton and Bedingham manors on himself, his wife and their issue. Kathryn M Brown, p 18, adds additional information and shows four children: Sir Ralph, John, William, and Robert. Through his first marriage, Sir Ralph became heir to the great estates of Sir Ralph Burgullion of Great Snoring, Suffolk, England, and of Rediston. He was also Lord of the Manor of BrentElleigh in Suffolk. In Aug 1362, he and Sir Oliver De Calthorpe witnessed a quit claim between Ralph De Hemenhale and Creeke Abbey. In a writ issued from Westminster 10 Nov 1364, William De Elmham, who was going beyond the seas, had letters nominating Sir Ralph Shelton and Geoffrey Dersham as his attorneys. 12 May 1367 the King appointed Ralph, Sir William De Hoo and Sir Edmund Thorp to make inquisitions into the King’s business in Norfolk and Suffolk to ensure that the King was receiving all the revenue to which he was entitled. 6 Oct 1368, he attended the wedding of the same Sir Edmund Thorp to Margaret daughter of Richard De La Rivere. 28 Mar 1371, Ralph, Robert Le Mortimer, Roger Geneye, William Clere, William De Norton and John De Cressingham were ordered by the King to collect a parish subsidy in Norfolk to safeguard the defense of England and further the war in France. The following 8 Jun the same men were given a mandate to collect in Norfolk without delay, a subsidy of 116 shillings from each parish amounting to 4674 pounds. 1 Feb 1376, Ralph was ordered to take into the King’s hands the lands in the county of Suffolk of Roger Le Walsh, deceased and to make inquiries touching his lands and as to his heir. He died soon after and in his will, Sir Ralph Shelton ordered his body to be buried in the chancel of St Mary’s church at Shelton. Copinger says he died 17 Nov 1373, Blomefield gives 1375 and the Visitation says his will was made 6 Oct 1378 and proved 30 Nov 1380 (though they do not have the text of his will). The Calendar of Inquisitions Post Mortem, writ issued 30 Mar 1376 says he died 16 Oct last (1375) and left with his wife Joan, daughters Joan aged 12, Margaret aged 5 and Isabel, half a year.

Born: ABT 1357
Died: 1423
Notes: will dated 14 Jun 1415 and proved 30 Sep 1423. He had no children and his only heir was his brother William. Robert was buried in the church of Snoryng Magna and in his will, he directed that his brother William should have any of his personal belongings at a fair price. Ultimately William died before this will was probated.
Father: Ralph SHELTON (Sir)
Mother: Anne De BURGULLIONDied: 25 Apr 1424
Buried: Great Snoring church, Suffolk, EnglandNotes: When he was 2 years old, he inherited Great Snoring and Thirsford co Norfolk from his kinsman Hugh De Burgullion. The NRS Vol 19 pt 2 in the biographical notes of the Archdeaconry of Norfolk donors, notes Hugh De Burgullion son of Sir Robert Burgullion, the younger (this Sir Robert being a brother of Alice De Burgullion wife of Sir John Shelton), who died childless around 1349. The NRS goes on to say that it seems that Anne Burgullion who married Sir Ralph Shelton, senior, was his sister for at his death the Burgullion estates passed to the Sheltons. In 1376, Ralph inherited his father’s lands and estate on his death and at this time he was married to Alice Uvedale. 21 Dec 1382, he with other prominent men of Norfolk received a directive from the King to investigate treasonable insurrection in the county and another writ in the same time frame was issued for Ralph and John, Duke of Lancaster; John De Clifton; Robert De Howard and Oliver De Calthorpe to be made commissioners of the peace and oyer and terminer for the county of Norfolk. He was asked to perform the same function with John, Duke of Norfolk 25 Apr 1386, 12 Jul 1388, 15 Jul 1389 (along with Simon Barrett this time), on 28 Jun 1390, 5 Mar 1397, 22 Jul 1397 (with John, Duke of Lancaster), 12 Nov 1397 (with John, Duke of Lancaster; Edmund, Duke of York; John, Duke of Exeter; Thomas, Duke of Norfolk and Simon Barrett). 1 Mar 1384, Sir Ralph Shelton and others were directed to enquire about the trespass and other offences in the prior of St Mary’s, Walshingham co Norfolk, where quarrels had arisen between the prior and convent. Was on the voyage of St. Malbes de L'Isle and into Scotland with Richard II and then into Spain, where Sir Hugh Hastings died. In 1385, Ralph attended John of Gaunt on his great expedition in Spain and was at the famous battle of Nazarett. In 1397 a grand breakfast was provided at Norwich for Sir Ralph Shelton, Sir Edmund Thorp and many others of the nobility and gentry of Norfolk. 20 Jun 1398 he and Sir Miles Stapleton and others were commissioned to redress offences and execute statues in Norfolk. 14 Jul 1402, the King directed Sir Ralph along with Sir Thomas Bardolf, Sir Thomas Morley and Sir John Heveningham to array men at arms to defend the sea coast against an invasion of the King’s enemies and 2 Jul 1405 he was again ordered to assembly men at arms to resist the King’s enemies from France and Picardy and then to go to Wales to strengthen troops there. When his step-mother Joan Shelton died in 1405/6, Ralph was 58 years old and inherited the remainder of her estate as she left no heirs of her own. 14 Jul 1406 he was again commissioned to go to Wales to strengthen the King’s forces there. King Henry IV was like most medieval kings in monetary straits from constant warfare, and 4 Sep 1405 he ordered Sir Ralph Shelton, Edmund Oldhall, Nicholas Wichingham and the Sheriff of Norfolk to collect money from the Norfolk parishes for a loan to King Henry IV to defend against the King’s enemies in Wales and enemies in France who have landed in Wales. 5 Nov 1406, he was directed by the King to determine the worth of the Norfolk, Suffolk and Essex estates of the late Sir Robert De Hemenhale and to determine who Sir Robert’s next heir would be. In 1409, Ralph presented Henry Turnour as pastor at Hardwick church. 1 Dec 1411, he was directed to mediate a dispute between Sir Thomas Morley and Sir Thomas Hemgrave. In 1424, not long before his death, Ralph along with John, Duke of Norfolk; Walter, Bishop of Norwich and John Heydon purchased Neville’s manor in Hethill co Norfolk.

John SHELTON
Notes: released the manor of Gedney in Lincolnshire (part of
the Burgullion inheritance of his father) to the Abbot of Ramsey. He apparently died before his father and with no heirs.
Father: Ralph SHELTON (Sir)
Mother: Alice UVEDALE
Died: ABT 1478
Notes: Apparently the only daughter of Sir Ralph Shelton and Alice Uvedale, at least to survive childhood. Both Blomefield and the Visitation note that she was the first wife of Sir Edmund Bedingfield with whom she had only one daughter, Margaret. Sir Edmund married as his second wife Margaret, daughter of Sir John Scott of Scots Hall co Kent. He was made a Knight Banneret 9 Jun 1487 and his will was dated 12 Oct 1496 and proven 28 Jan 1496/7.

Married: Edmund BEDINGFIELD of Oxborough (Sir) (b. ABT 1452 - d. 15 Oct 1496) (son of Thomas Bedingfield and Anne Waldegrave) (m.2 Margaret Scott) ABT 1475
Children:
1. Margaret BEDINGFIELD (b. ABT 1476 - d. 24 Mar 1504) (m. Sir Edward Jerningham)
Died: 20 Jul 1421, Shelton, Depwade, Norfolk, England
Buried: Shelton chancel, Church in Snoring MagnaNotes: probably second
surviving son. William
married Catherine Barrett, daughter and heir of Simon Barrett co Norfolk and through her he held the manor of Barrett’s in Hardwick.
2 Dec 1404, he received a pardon from the King for not appearing in
court to answer Walter De Watham concerning a debt of 20 marks. 8 Feb 1415
William received another pardon, this time from King
Henry V, for not appearing before justices of the bench of Henry IV to answer
Robert Blake of London on a debt of 40 shillings. He died 20 Jul 1421 and his IPM was held 9 Oct 1421.
The Visitation of Norfolk says that he was executor of his brother Sir
Ralph Shelton, but as William died in 1421 and Sir Ralph in 1424,
William could
not have been his brother’s surviving executor. For the same reason, he could not have survived as executor of his
brother Robert who died in 1423. William
must have married late in life and to a much younger woman, as he was quite old
at his death (assuming he was born between 1348 and 1358) but his son and heir
John was only 17 at his father’s death. Catherine survived for many years and from 1426-1452 “Katherine, Lady
of Shelton, relic of William Shelton”, presented 9 different rectors to the
church at Hardwick. In 1426 she held fees in Shelton
and 1432 presented to the church at Thirsford as a patron. Catherine died 3
Aug 1456 and was buried beside William in Great
Snoring.

Notes: possibly the Thomas Shelton who presented to Ringstead Parva in 1474. Cecily’s will was dated 3 May and proven 26 Jul 1484 and she was buried near her husband as she requested in her will. She left bequests to the church of St Gregory, the cathedral of Norwich, the church at Aylsham, the church at Heynforth and for masses to be celebrated for her. She mentions no children and no other family so this couple may have left no offspring.

Died: 23 Apr 1431
Notes: Not much is known about John. He became lord of the manor at Shelton, Norfolk, after the death of his father. Some sources says that he was succeeded by his brother, William, who apparently had no sons, and was succeeded by his nephew, Ralph. But others, and according to the dates I agree with them, says that John was William son. 27 Feb 1422 the King commissioned Edmund Wynter and Richard Elleswyk to the keeping of all lands late of William Shelton, Esq tenant-in-chief by knight’s service, during the minority of John, his son and heir, with the marriage of the latter also given to their custody. He had livery of his lands in 1427. In 1428, he held fees in Osmundeston, Bedingham, and Kerdeston. He died a young man on the Monday before the Feast of St George the Martyr, 23 Apr 1431, seized of the manors of Brent Illegh co Suffolk, Shelton Netherhall, Snoring, Thetford and Hindringham, IPM dated 9 May 1431. 1 Apr 1431, the escheator for Norfolk was directed to take into the King’s hands the lands late of John Shelton, Esq in Norfolk and Suffolk. After her husband’s death Margaret Bures or Brewys held the manor of Brent Illegh for life. 20 Jul 1432, she was given license from the King for 1 mark paid in the hanaper to demise 1/3 of the manors of Great Snoring and Shelton co Norfolk. 10 Jul 1432 she received the King’s permission to marry to whom ever she wished “of the King’s allegiance”. Margaret remarried to Robert Allington, son of William Allington and Joan de Burgh and died in 1479.

Notes: Third son, a clerk who was Master of Metingham College and still living in 1538 when he was mentioned in the will of his brother Ralph Shelton of Brome. Copinger says that Mettingham Castle was converted to a college and the arms of Richard Shelton, one of the last master of the college with several matches of his family ornament the walls of the Keep which was the residence of the master. In 1492, he was named in the will of his maternal grandmother Elizabeth Clere. Richard held the manor of Peter’s Hall in Bunwell. 27 Nov 1505, King Henry VII issued a writ from Westminster issuing a pardon to Sir John Tate, John Shelton, Richard Shelton and 300 others of all offenses in regulating trade. He was probably the Richard Shelton who presented the rector at the church at Redenhall in 1518. Blomefield noted that Richard had such skill in water works that in 1528, his advice was used in cutting Yarmouth Haven.

(Blomefield v5 "Shelton" Calendar of Patent Rolls Eliz ii p 327). Sir James Boleyn, her uncle and Queen Elizabeth's great uncle, bequeathed her 40 pounds (Patent Rolls Eliz ii p 327). She apparently had fallen on hard times, for Sir James, in his will, asked the Queen "to give unto his neice Elizabeth Shelton, having at his daie nothing certain wherewith to comforte or releve her self, the fower hundred pounds woing to me by Her Grace, she to extend her mercie and goodness unto that poor gentlewoman, now utterly destitute". The Queen must have heeded his request, for Elizabeth Shelton received a gift from Queen Elizabeth for monetary annuities 23 Dec 1561.

Mother: Anne BOLEYN|
Born: 1512, Shelton, Norfolk, England Died: 8 Jan 1570/1Buried: Heveningham, Suffolk, England Notes: 1st cousin and one of the attendants of Queen Anne Boleyn. The mention of Mary Shelton and Margaret Skipwith as the two ladies in whom the King was interested in 1538 comes in a letter that says nothing about marriage. The comment could as easily refer to the king's choice of one of the two as his next mistress. Mary was friend of Lady Margaret Douglas and Lady Mary Howard, Duchess of Richmond. She contributed to and edited the “Devonshire Manuscript”, a collection of poems, some of them original, that was passed around among members of their circle. Two of the poems suggest that Sir Thomas Wyatt pursued Mary and was rejected by her. Mary may have been in attendance upon Queen Catherine Howard. After Catherine's arrest, Mary spent most of the next year at Kenninghall in Norfolk, Mary Howard's home. She was first betrothed to Thomas Clere who was a great favorite of Henry Howard, Earl of Surrey. After Clere’s untimely death, the Earl continued to look after Mary. Married her 1st cousin, Sir Anthony Heveningham, who was knighted 22 Feb 1546 and made a Banneret by King Henry VIII, and in 1557, held the manor of Westbarrow-Hall, of the honour of Ralegh, and Totham Parva, and Goldhanger in Essex. 15 Feb 1554, both Anthony and Mary presented to the church at Little Breccles. Anthony’s will was dated 18 Nov 1557 and proved 1 Jun 1558 and he died 22 Nov 1557. In his will he left legacies to his wife Mary who was his sole executrix, sons Henry, Arthur and John, daughters Mary, Anne, Jane, Abigail, Bridget, and Elizabeth. Mary re married Phillip Appleyard, a younger son of Roger Appleyard and Elizabeth, daughter of John Scott of Surrey. Phillip Appleyard was probably the same man who witnessed her first husband’s will.Father: John SHELTON (Sir Knight) Mother: Anne BOLEYNMarried 1: Thomas CLERE (d. 14 Apr 1545) |

Notes: second son. Often called Sir Richard Shelton of Rowley Regis, from the manor of that name in Warwickshire. Richard studied law at the Inner Temple and was employed by the Duke of Buckingham to handle his private affairs. He was appointed by King Charles I as Solicitor General Oct 1625 and was knighted by the King at Hampton Court 31 Oct 1625. Sir Richard was elected to Parliament for Bridgnorth 17 Jan 17 Jan 1625/6 and for Guildford 3 Feb, but in the commons his lack of debating skills and general incompetence made him easy prey for the opposition. 6 Mar 1627/8 he was re-elected to Parliament for Bridgnorth and in 1628 was appointed treasurer of the Inner Temple. In Oct 1634 being according to Clarendon “an old, illiterate, useless person”, he was forced to resign as Solicitor General and was succeeded by Sir Edward Littleton. Richard retired to his manor at West Bromwich which he had acquired from his cousin William Stanley in 1626 and lived there peacefully during the Civil War. Richard was mentioned in the will of his brother Robert 23 May 1642. 23 Jul 1642 Lettice died and was buried at West Bromwich.

Died: 12 Aug 1588
Notes: Eldest daughter. Will dated 8 Apr and proven 2 Oct 1588. Named in her father’s will 1558 as his “daughter Godsalve”. The Visitation also says that William married secondly to Elizabeth daughter of Richard Townshend of Rainham by Catherine daughter of Sir Humphrey Brown. In Anne’s father’s will there is a curious note “to daughter Godsalve ₤200, if she marry some gentleman by her own consent with the advice of her friends” which suggests that her husband died by this time so there would seem to be some conflict in the fact that he married again after her death in 1588. Another unresolved conflict is that Blomefield notes that 31 May 1561 Mr Ralph Shelton paid 5 pounds to be given in alms for William Godsalve, Esq who died very suddenly in Whitsun week. The Harleian Society has her married to a second husband named Grey.

Notes: Second daughter. The Visitation says that she died
without issue but Burke’s Peerage said that she had a son Richard.
Burke’s also incorrectly says her name was Anne and the Visitation of
Essex (Harleian Society Publications, Vol 13-14 p 255) lists no children by her.

Father: John SHELTON (Sir)
Mother: Margaret PARKERMarried: Richard JOSCELYN of Rooding (m.2 Anne Lucas)
Born: ABT 1550
Died: 16 Aug 1603
Buried: Holme Lacy, Hereford, England
Notes: Third daughter. Sir Henry Parker, her mother's brother, was Elizabeth's chamberlain in 1550–52. She was at court as a chamberer to Queen Elizabeth from 1 Jan 1571, and remained in the Queen’s service until her death. She was one of only six women who were appointed to the Privy chamber. When her close friend, Dorothy Stafford, was ill, it was Mary who was the Queen's sleeping companion. Mary Shelton weds Sir John Scudamore of Holme Lacy, Herefordshire, a gentleman usher, without the Queen’s consent. In the notorious ‘scandal letter’ of 1584 Mary Stuart, accused Elizabeth of breaking one of Mary Scudamore's fingers and trying to conceal the incident as an accident caused by a falling candlestick. However lurid her account, the Scottish queen's source was the victim's close friend Lady Mary Cavendish, wife Gilbert Talbot. In a letter from Eleanor Brydges to the Earl of Rutland it was written that Mary Scudamore suffered both ‘bloes and yevyll words … never woman bought hir husband more deare than she hath done’, speaking of an incident when the Queen reportedly broke Mary’s finger by hitting her with a hairbrush. But Elizabeth's hostility to privy chamber marriages has been greatly exaggerated and the marriage did neither Mary nor her husband, with whom she had two sons, any lasting harm. After that, Elizabeth not only sanctioned the marriage, but appointed the new Mrs. Scudamore as gentlewoman of the bedchamber. On 9 Oct 1576 she was hastily summoned back to court from a holiday with her husband when Dorothy Stafford broke her leg. The Earl of Sussex wrote to Mary Scudamore: ‘for I fear untill you come her majestie shall not in the night have for the most part so good rest as she wyll take after your comyng’. Mary had hundred of gowns under her charge, and kept careful inventory of them all. Mary continued as a chamberer and became quite influential at court as well as being a favorite with the Queen. Royal gifts included £400 in 1591 and £300 in 1594. Among her papers is one of the rare internal records of the privy chamber, the ‘book of the stuffe of the quenes majestie's wardrobe’, a daybook recording various items of Elizabeth's clothing and jewellery in the keeping of one of the privy chamber women. Since it runs from 1561 to 1585, Mary presumably inherited it from one of her predecessors. Mary Scudamore was still a chamberer in 1589, she was by then regarded in some quarters as a particularly effective intermediary with the queen. In 1599 Charles Cornwallis referred to her virtues having advanced her ‘to that honourable place you are in & therin have continued you to the great good of the house [the Howards] from whence you are descended’. However, her financial exploitation of her influence has been cited as evidence of the increasing rapacity of the privy chamber in the 1590s. In 1602 she was reported as seriously ill, and although she attended Elizabeth's funeral, like several other senior women of Elizabeth's privy chamber she did not survive the queen for very long. The exact date and place of her death are unknown, but she was buried at Holme Lacy on 15 Aug 1603.Father: John SHELTON (Sir)

was buried 27 Dec. Thomas’s will was dated 25 May 1594 where he left his goods
to Thomas Catcher, woolen draper of London, in payment of a debt that he
owed him. Thomas asked that he would be buried “without any pompe”
and his will was proven 2 Aug 1596. He appears to have not married and left no
children.
Father: John SHELTON (Sir)
Mother: Margaret PARKERBorn: BEF 1530 / 1535
Died: 1580Notes: eldest son and heir. At his father’s death, he had livery of his inheritance including Shelton, Snoring, Carrow and others and 8 Jun 1559 he was given license to take possession. He was High Sheriff of Norfolk in 1570. During his term as High Sheriff, he developed a close relationship with John Parkhurst, Bishop of Norwich. The Bishop held Ralph in great esteem as seen in a series of letters published in the Norfolk Record Society and Ralph proved to be a great ally during the prosecution of George Thimelthorpe, one of the county officers accused of corruption. Sometime after 1558, Ralph sold the Suffolk manor of Mildren which had been in his family since 1480 to Robert Thorpe. 31 May 1561, he paid 5 pounds in alms for William Godsalve, Esq., who had died very suddenly. 8 May 1566, he was made commissioner of the sewers with several other Norfolk notables. In 1573, he presented William Mann as the rector of Hardwick church and in 1576 presented Reginald Nuthall as rector to the same church. He was knighted at Norwich by Queen Elizabeth 22 Aug 1578 along with Thomas Knevett, Edward Clere, Roger Woodehouse, Henry Wodehouse. 19 Jun 1573, Ralph was made a justice of the peace for Norfolk and appointed again 23 Jun 1574. 20 Mar 1574 Ralph was commissioned with Edward Flowerdew and Roger Wodehouse to inquire into the death of Edward Cusshin and 17 Sep of the same year, served in the same capacity upon the death of Stephen Burrell. Ralph married 13 Sep 1551 Mary, daughter of Sir William Wodehouse of Waxham. In the Shelton family church at the manor, there are ten panels on the left side of the altar, which record the marriage of Mary Wodehouse and Ralph Shelton, as well as the birth of their children Margaret, Thomas, John, Ralphe, and Edward. She was buried at Shelton 6 Jul 1558. He married secondly 16 Oct 1570 at Shelton to Anne, daughter of Thomas Barrow, Esq of Barningham co Suffolk by Mary daughter and coheir of Henry Bures at Acton co Suffolk.

Notes: knighted at Theobald's, Warwickshire, England in 1607. According to records in the British Museum, he was Minister to Spain, Secretary to the Prince of Wales and one of the entourage of the Earl of Carlisle on the trip to France in 1612 to arrange for the marriage of Charles I with the sister of the French King. It was this Sir Ralph who held the Norfolk and Sufolk estates in 1606 (succeeding his brother John) prior to the sale of Shelton. In an account of his marriage to Jane West he is given as Ralph Sheldon, Esquire of Beoley, Worcestershire. Sir Ralph was a member of the Second and Third London Companies. In all the Colonial records of the Second Charter granted to the London Companies, 23 May 1609, the names of Sir Ralph Shelton of Norfolk England, a Captain Shelton and a James Shelton, Gentleman, appear. The Second London Company sailed under Lord De La Warr with nine ships and 500 people. The admiral's ship named "Sea Venture". They landed in America in 1610. A charter was granted to the Third London Company in 1611. As a member of Parliment, Sir Ralph signed the petition circulated there by the Company in 1610. There is nothing to indicate that Sir Ralph ever came to America to live. If so, he returned to England; but his son James Shelton, Gentlman, came with Lord De La Warr in Jun 1610, remained and founded the Shelton family of America and Virginia.

He was a member of the first courts from 1619-1624 and was a resident of Jamestown, Virginia in 1620. He and his father were members of the "London Company" James had a land grant on the Potomac, 16 Oct 1650. Part of "Currioman" Westmoreland County, Virginia was one of the original land grants to James. This grant was probably taken up by his son Thomas Shelton, who died in Cecil County, Maryland in 1650. Moved to Bermuda about 1630 after trade was opened.
