I'm looking for information on one of Jonathan McCarty's wives and she was named Melinda (see 1860 census below). I found marriage records for the 1st and 3rd wives but not wife number two.   I believe Melinda's daughter Hannah married John W. Parker of Scott County, Arkansas (son of Jefferson Parker and Mariah Frances Williams).  Hannah and John has at least four children:  Louisa Ann, Morticia, Mary S., and John M. Parker. If you know anything about her - especially a marriage record to Jonathan - it would be so appreciated.
