Biographical notes:

William Sheldon (1762-1822) was born in England on 17 November 1762 and educated at Oxford University. He resided in North Providence, R.I., for several years and was an editor, c. 1809 to 1810, of the Massachusetts Spy, a newspaper published in Worcester, Mass. Sheldon was elected a member of the American Antiquarian Society in 1813 and apparently resided in Jamaica, W.I., at that time. He died on 28 June 1822 in London.
