“Ralph Sheldon was born at Ashford, in the parish of Bakewell Co. Derby, about 1605, probably died at sea in 1651. The registers of Ashford before 1687 are lost, the record of his baptism has not been found; but he was evidently the eldest child of his parents and , as his younger brothers, Samuel Sheldon and Solomon Sheldon, married in 1656 ad 1657 respectively, it is apparent that he was born as early as 1630. By will of his grandfather, Arthur Sheldon dated 10 June 1651, he was to receive a legacy of L8; and this provision in his grandfather’s will is the only record of him that has been found in England. “
