I have recently been on a history excursion in Bristol Tennessee. On my journey I came across a tombstone bearing one Gen Evan Shelby. Its an iron coffin embedded in concrete, that can be seen just to look at it. This has sparked a great interest in me. The dates on the coffin read as follows:
baptized october 31, 1719 in Wales
died dec 4, 1794

If anyone has any information to add, i would greatly appreciate it. I have pictures of the tombstone also. Email me at serenity74@angelfire.com thanks
