Notes - It has not yet been proven that Moses Shelby's wife's maiden name was
Alexander. (Source: Judith Trolinger.)
Perhaps Isabel married James Creighton/Creaton/Craton after the death
of Moses.
"The last Will of testament of Isable Craton was proved in Apr Court
by the Oath of E. Speiars? Letters of Testamentary issued to Oliver
Harris, Executor, named in said Will, wihch was done according to law.
Cabarrus Co NC, Min's of Court of Pleas & Quarter Sessions, Apr 1806."
(Source: Johnnie M. Johnson)
Cabarrus Co, NC Minutes of the Court of PQs 1805-1817, p40: Jan 1808,
Cabarrus Co..."Isable CRATAIN dec'd. Daughter, Mary WILEY, bequeathed
a woman slave, was to be sold after being valued by Robert COCHRAN,
William and James HARRIS. 3 hundred dollar value to be distributed
among legatees."
Following are some miscellaneous data concerning James CREATON [James
signs his name this way in Moses estate papers]:
The Cabarrus Co Court Minutes of Apr 1806 for Isabel's Will being
proved in court- Letters of Testamentary issued to Oliver HARRIS,
Executor named in said will which was done according to law-makes no
mention of her husband- The actual Will apparently hasn't been found-
so we don't know what it may have contained.
There is a James CREATTON with a wife- both over 45, with 2 slaves-on
the 1800 census for Cabarrus Co, p678
1810 census this county, p137- there is a James CRATON living alone &
none on 1820 census.
From Jean- April 1784-microfilm of Court Minutes, Cabarrus Co, NC:
James CRATON is given leave to move the property of several orphans &
legatees of Moses SHELBY dec'd, not exceeding 3 miles provided he
enters into bond with sufficient security to be approved of by Adam
ALEXANDER, Esq, for the decent maintenance of said orphans during the
space of 3 months.
From Moses SHELBYs original estate records- 27 Dec 1785- James CRATON
& Evan SHELBY are bound by Adam ALEXANDER, John McNitt ALEXANDER ..50
lbs for Isabella SHELBY, minor & orphan of Moses SHELBY. James CRATON
is appt guardian.
ibid- 18 Jan 1786- James CREATON rec'd of the Exec of Moses SHELBY
estate, [etc]..part of a portion bequeathed to his wife Issable[sic]
SHELBY. James signs...
[Oliver HARRIS is married to Moses SHELBYs sister, Margaret- Oliver &
Margaret name their children: Isabel, Moses & Thomas HARRIS.]
