S0013 John SHELDON of South Kingston, RI is considered to be the progenitor of the Sheldon line called William in the Sheldon Family Association Database. According to the Sheldon Magazine, S0013 John SHELDONs father was William SHELDON (SOOO3), born in 1611, and came to Boston, MA with Gov. Endicott. To date, Williams residence in Boston or his association with Gov. Endicott has not been authenticated and/or documented by the Sheldon Family Association. Anyone finding same is encouraged to file it with us. Therefore S0013 John SHELDON has been used as the progenitor of this line. The use of William (W) to designate the line has been done to differeniate the two John lines tracked by the Sheldon Family Association. These lines are known as the John of Providence (J) and John of South Kingston (W) lines respectively.
