Hi Dorothy, I have 5 Charles BRITT's but none match your time period, so I really can't help you out there. But if it's any help at all I have a surname MELTON about your time frame, maybe they are related. Minnie MELTON Spouse : Dewey Wade WALTERS, born : 05-30-1937, Affordsville, Robeson Co., N.C. children : Gloria Dianne WALTERS, born : 05-21-1960 Timothy Wayne WALTERS, born : 05-29-1962 Kevin Glenn WALTERS, born : 09-03-1965 Hope this might give you a lead to check out.
