SFA Reunion 2022 Deadline Approaches
Hello Sheldon cousins!
If you are a descendant of Godfrey Sheldon(S4), 1599-1670, this year’s reunion will be especially interesting for you. We will be discussing the Sheldons who descend from Godfrey, including his son William and his involvement in King Philip’s war, his granddaughter Susannah, who accused many of her neighbors of witchcraft, and his 4th great-grandson William Everett Sheldon, who died at Andersonville, GA during the Civil War.
The deadline for booking a room at the DoubleTree by Hilton Boston Logan Airport Chelsea is fast approaching! We have a room block available for Wednesday, Aug 17 through Saturday, August 20.
