The name Charlton was on a record CD100 Linked Pedigrees United Ancestries Linked Pedigrees No91-102 married to Mary Moore born Askerville Bertie Co. NC. They had seven children born from 1819 to1829 The youngest two were born 1832 and 183 5 in Crawford Co Ill. I am wondering if Charlton is the son of John and Nancy Watson Simmons?

Va.?with the rest of the Bertie migration people? Sincerely Glenys Simmons Gerlach ggerlach2@gwtc.net
