To Harry Walley and Shirley Sanders Robertson...I am Annette Shelton, the one who did the Sanders book which both of you mentioned. I hope you can find what the B. stands for in Thomas' name. None of the legal documents I've seen in past or recent research have a name given for the B. If in the future I'm able to find it, I'll post it to the board.
Your cousin, Annette Shelton in Monroe, LA
