John Shelburn
JOHN SHELBURN.
Mr. Shelburn was born in Kentucky in the year 1808. Came to
where he now lives nearly fifty years ago. Though, strictly
speaking, he is not one of the first settlers, yet the
county was new when he arrived. He married Miss Bishop,
daughter of William Bishop, one of the first settlers on Big
Eagle. Mr. Shelburn has one of the finest farms on Big
Eagle, two and one-half miles north of Zionsville, where his
best days were spent and his best energies put forth to make
a farm and raise his family, which he has done with credit.
He now is old and highly respected as an honest man and a
christian gentleman, a Baptist by faith and practice. No man
in Boone County stands higher than John Shelburn.
