Grandchildren's military ancestors on their father's side...

I have a fairly good idea of my ancestors who served but hadn't made a list of those of my son-in-law's family. Thought I'd do that.

Of course, his dad served (as did his uncle Fred). I thought I'd go back a bit to see what I could document. I will make additions and corrections as I go along...

Hello. Could you give me the name of the uncle of William Henderson Shelton ? He is my g-g-g grandfather. I am researching his tree and have hit a brick wall. Maybe the uncle's name would help me solve it. Thank you.
