• Notes

  from: 1892 Portrait & Biographical Album of Genesee, Lapeer & Tuscola Counties, Chapman Bros. Pages 237 - 240 SENECA SHELDON, a representative farmer and stock-raiser of section 36, Atlas Township, Genesee County, was born March 9, 1832 in Warren County, N.Y. He is a son of Allen and Priscilla (Irish) Sheldon, both of whom were born in New York, and of their family this son was the eldest, and in his native county he had his early training and education. From youth he has been engaged in farming and has pursued this calling with the exception of four winters when he aided his father in getting out logs from the woods. He received a common-school education, and has been an extensive and judicious reader. The marriage of Seneca Sheldon and Servilla Babcock took place, February 28, 1854. This lady was born in Washington County, N.Y., and is a daughter of John and Ruth Babcock, of Washington County, N.Y. In the spring of 1854 he came too Genesee County, and established himself on the farm where he now lives, which was then practically unbroken and uncultivated and contained no buildings. Upon settling here Mr. Sheldon at first built a board house and in that resided until 1876, when he erected the home in which his family now resides. He owns one hundred and five acres of land and is practically a self-made man as he and his faithful helpmate have gained their property by their determination and unflagging industry. He is a democrat in his political views but cooperates with any of his neighbors in efforts too secure the best of the community. Mr. Sheldon raises a fine grade of American-Merinoes and Stropshire sheep and ahs made for himself a splendid reputation in this department of stock-raising. Mr. Sheldon and his wife aaaee active members in society and have seen this locality grow from a wilderness too its present prosperous conditions. They endured and encountered the usual self denials and hardships and carried through a vast amount of hard work during pioneer times. They are highly esteemed and have a large circle of friends.
