The Brand was registered to John (13)’s son John so yes is the answer I believe. There is Isaac (5) but there is also an Isaac Sr father of Isaac (5). THis has been argued for quite some time but I believe E. Hortense had it right. So it is “possible” that Isaac Jr bc. 1630 and John bc 1629 were brothers both sons of Isaac Sr of Windsor. It is also possible they were cousins. To date there is no record of an appropriate John or Isaac in England. However in some upcoming posts I believe I have very strong evidence connecting them back to a specific area of England so stay tuned.

To keep the early Sheldons straight in my mind, I refer to them by their numbers. Comment 1 – The brand that was registered was for John #23 and it was registered in 1705. Correct? Comment #2. In the DNA statement you mentioned Isaac of Winston (Is this Isaac #5 ?) and John of Newport and Kingstown (Is this John #13 ?) as being closely related – possibly father and son. In a previous statement you made a while back, you stated that they could have been brothers. The current classic dates for Isaac #5 and John #13 support a possible brother relationship. What has changed or do I not have the correct Sheldons
