Family notes for Stephen SHELDON and Nancy PERCIVAL

In the absence of most birth dates, the children are listed in the order they are given in their father's Will. Notice that three of Stephen & Nancy's daughters predeceased Stephen. Nancy is not mentioned in Stephen's Will so it is probable that she, too, predeceased him. [Webmaster]
