S-14 William is found in Maine Court records as early as 1655; his brother, S4x4
John, in 1658 signed the Parker and Whiting agreement in Billerica, Massachusetts.

From Rev. Parris' Record of Deaths at Salem Village:

Nathanael, s. W(illia)m, "well on moonday, sick tusday, distracted on thursday 
and so continued till fryday & dyed, 30 Nov. 1688." According to this record, 
if Nathanael died in 1688 aged 10, then he was born in 1678 and should be 
listed between Rebecca and Hepsibah.

"Godfrey Sheldon (killed) by the Indians, 3 July 1690, aged 24."

W(illia)m Sheldon, "cut his knee, hurt by a fall above two weeks, 
died 2 Dec. 1691, aged 80 years" according to this record.
