Alsep, widower, working in a Saw Mill. If this is "Tug", then his second wife, Sigger Farris, must have died by this time.] "Tug's" first wife, Virginia Shelton Alsup's father, Jesse Shelton (1804-1880), owned land and "1878 Chancery Court Case #3899" states that Virginia is deceased and that her children, James, Minnus and Jesse, are in Missouri.
