| Shelton | Pinkey | 35 m | "idiot" |
|
NC | Pinkey (or Pinckney) b. 1825 NC suffered from a case of measles at the age of 16 which may have left him with brain damage. This is most likely the reason he is listed as an idiot in this census. John, his youngest brother, documented that Pinckney lived to be 70 years old. Pinckney Shelton never married. Tina Hall | |
