- 1. This last name could be an abbreviated form of Deshon. The line following this entry following suggests that A. Shon is a woman. A Caleb Shon married Agnes Tony in Stonington on November 23, 1758, but this would mean A. Shon would be, at the very least, well into her nineties. It is more likely that this entry refers to Theodosia Deshon.
