Author: JeanOSchroeder Surnames: Melson Classification: queries Message Board URL: http://boards.rootsweb.com/localities.northam.usa.states.northcarolina.counties.currituck/634.4.2.1.1.2/mb.ashx Message Board Post: The Currituck County Marriage Register Book B 1868 - 1902 is 236 pages and is available from the Albemarle Genealogical Society. If you are interested contact Lois Meekins at ljmeekins@inteliport.com Considering that most of our ancestors could not read or write and they had to depend on court clerks and census takers, you are going to find a lot of misspelled words and names. It was quite common to spell things the way they sounded. I only have connections to the Mathias family through collateral lines. I do have a direct connection to the Melson's. My great great grandmother was Polly Melson. She was the first wife of Hodges B. Gallop. She was born 23 Apr 1804 and died 18 Feb 1854. Feel free to contact me directly if I can help you.
