Hi Cheryl, I show John H. Yelton born: 29 Apr 1809 died:19 May 1870 taken from: Birth & Death dates from "Monument Inscriptions of Pendleton County, KY" by Eric C. Nagle & Larry L. Ford. Of course, the inscription may have been wrong - wouldn't be the first time would it? I've been wracking my brain and can't think of another explanation for John H. to be on that census at all. If he did die on 19 May, she may not have known the exact date and so the census taker may have taken the conservative route and entered him in case he died after 1 June?? I know, thats grasping at straws... I hope someone has a better explanation for you. Iris

John died May 19, 1870 in Butler, Pendleton Co., KY. He and Judith were my g-g-g grandparents.

Cousins, I ran across something kind of strange in the 1870 Census for Campbell County, KY. On p. 250 appears the household of Judith M. Yelton, age 67. She's listed first, apparently as the head of the household. Next are Patrick, age 23, and Lucinda, age 21. The last person listed is John H. Yelton, age 63 and born in NC. That's undoubtedly her husband, the son of James & Elizabeth Yelton. So why isn't he listed first, as would normally be the case? The only thing I can think of is that John had died very recently, between June 1, 1870 (the census "as of" date) and October 22, 1870 (the date this household was actually visited). The census taker asked for head of household first, and didn't metion the June 1st date until after he had already written the other names. Does anyone else have a theory on this? Cheryl

Jill, The settlement of William's estate (which took place about 13 years after his death, after his youngest child reached age 21) does list all his surviving children. The settlement is dated 15 April 1853 and is recorded in Inventory & Settlement Book 1 at pp. 407-411. I don't have a photocopy of the document, just a transcription I made at the time. The children listed are: Daniel W. Yelton Issabella Taylor, late Yelton John J. Yelton Robert T. Yelton Polly W. Thomason, late Yelton Elijah Yelton Augustus E. Yelton Louisa Griffing (late Yelton) Jesse Yelton Columbus Yelton Wm. A. Yelton Hope this helps. Cheryl

Hi Jill, I'm forwarding this on to the List in case someone has the proof that you need. Please send any information that you have both to the list and to Jill since her message came through as from {not a subscriber}. Thanks to all of you and I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving.

Cousins, I've added several pages to the temporary Yelton website at http://home.att.net/~yeltonweb/ The new pages include the remaining information I have on descendants of William Yelton & Sally Mays, descendants of Charles H.

Hi Suzanne, You mean James the son of William the Rev. War Soldier and Nephew of James the Rev. War Soldier, right? All these James' can get very confusing.... Iris

James did live in Iredell, NC, at least for a while because his son, John H. Yelton (my g-g-g grandfather) was born there in 1809. I also believe that he lived there for several years before going to Pendleton Co., KY.

Hi Nellie, What great sites! I spent hours at the Oklahoma Yelton site. Lots of information there and very well done. And the images at the Google site were wonderful too. Thanks for sharing, Iris

I have some information about where our Yelton ancestors lived, although I can't really say at this time why they moved when and where they did. As I think you all know, our knowledge of the family begins in Stafford County, VA. Charles Yelton lived at one time in Loudon Co, VA but as far as I know he and his children moved directly from Virginia to Kentucky. James & William followed a different path. They both lived in Amherst Co, VA and then (I believe) in Iredell Co, NC. James said in his pension application that he had lived in Iredell. I don't know for a fact that William did, but his son Robert apparently did, as he married a woman, Elizabeth Kersey, who was from Iredell County. James, as an elderly man (about 70), then moved on to Kentucky near his brothers. However, at least two of his sons stayed in North Carolina. John eventually settled in Rutherford Co, NC. The Yeltons in Mitchell Co & Rutherford Co are John's descendants. Charles H. Yelton lived in Ashe Co, NC for a while, then moved to Overton Co, TN. I believe the Madison Co Yeltons are descendants of Charles through his oldest son William who married Edy. Most Yeltons in TN are Charles' descendants. There are other descendants of Charles in North Carolina (primarily Ashe or Watauga Co), but their name isn't Yelton. They are descendants of Charles' son Barnet. Barnet's two sons who survived the Civil War eventually settled in Missouri, but Barnet's daughters, as far as I know, all married & raised families in NC. Cheryl

--- Nellie Hammond --- fredh@zoomnet.net Are the Yeltons mentioned In this particular Google Search in our genealogy? http://images.google.com/images?q+Yelton hl+en btnG+Google+Search I have enjoyed the above search immensely. Also, http://home.mmcable.com/okiepage/yelton.htm Nellie Bly Yelton fredh@zoomnet.net

This message also came to me instead of to the list where I assume Don meant it to go. Don is by this time in Germany and/or England, but may check his e-mail anyway. We have at least three Don Yelton's on our list. I have them as Don Yelton, Don P. Yelton and J. Don Yelton. The first and the last have sent messages this past week. The one in the middle is the son of Jason, son of James Bert, son of John..... I believe all three are related to the John Yelton who married Mary "Polly" Deck in Rutherford Co., NC.
