Note 1-Since coming to New England in 1943, I have located the family of the missing George Shelnutt. He did live in Nova Scotia for many years. However he did marry and had a family of several children. I have met members of the family and they may now be in North Andover, Mass. Having seen the orignal discharge papers of George Shelnutt, it is now my belief that he settled first in the Carolina's since discharge had the Seal Of State of South Carolina and not Virginia. C.
