yes, ruthie, there's a whole section about your ancestors in my dad's book. his name was john bartlow martin. he was primarily a journalist who wrote for harper's, redbook, the saturday evening post, etc. but also wrote 16 books during his lifetime. this book was his third. The book was called Butcher's Dozen and other murders, published in 1950 by Harper and brothers. it's out of print now, but i'm sure you could get a copy from Abe books or another used book company. the section of the book about your family is called
The Shelton Boys, and was copywritten in 1950. the section is 52 pages long. it does not have an isbn #---apparently they didn't start the isbn system until some years later. i hope this helps.
