Shelton Brooks was born on May 4, 1886, in Amherstburg, Ontario, Canada.

There is no reference to his religion in his online biographies.

Shelton Brooks was a famous composer. Many say that his true love was his music and that he devoted his life to music instead of a spouse. Still, Brooks is said to have kept to himself. Therefore, if indeed he had been married, it is unlikely that he would have shared it with anyone but perhaps a private circle of trusted relations.

The three starting linebackers for the 2002 Tampa Bay Buccanerrs were Derrick Brooks, Shelton Quarles, and Alshermond Singleton.

Shelton Benjamin's birth name is Shelton Albert Benjamin.
