"Gallia County, Ohio."
Local residents
gather near the Saluda (Mustain) Shelton burial site. This photograph was donated by Jim Shelton and a
welcome addition to the Shelton pages. These types of photos are incredible!
Saluda Mustain was the wife of Claiborne Shelton and the mother of John,
Joel, Henley, Jesse, just to name a few. This data was provided by Jim,
also.
"Near this rock there is a cave
where Claiborne and his family lived for two years, c1812-14. Saluda died
during that time and she was buried near the rock. Many years ago the rock
was removed by the local public works people because it was a danger to road
traffic below." ~ Jim Shelton
