Hi Rick & Marinda, Of course I know about these Melton & Sooters!!! They are Great great grandma, Nicie Amber Melton Ragland's,, parents!! James Melton and Permelia Sooter were the parents of not only Nicie and Aunt Sarah, but they had several other kids, i.e., Richard, Andrew Jackson, Nancy, Emaline, & Mary. James remarried after Permelia died after Sarah in 1828-29. Mary Crockett was James Melton's second wife and they had 3 kids, i.e. William, Leonard, & Frances. I believe James Melton even had a third wife after Mary Crocket....Mary Wells is what THE REECE CONNECTION BOOK says!!! Now, do you remember?? I was the one asking everyone if anyone knew WHO James Melton's parents were??? Does anyone have a clue?? This line is a dead-end for me!!! If anyone has a clue, please contact us!!!
