Hi Everyone, Certainly hope it is not as hot where you are as it is here in PA. Whew! What a summer! Jerry Dunn sent in this information and asked that I share it with all of you. I will be sending a few other changes from him in a separate e-mail. If this is your line and you have anything else to add, please send it to Jerry as well as to the list. Thanks and good hunting, Iris note: new address(AGAIN!) iris@reily.org ----- Original Message ----- From: Gerald Dunn <GCDUNN@worldnet.att.net> To: Iris F Reily <iris@reily.org> Sent: Tuesday, 30 July, 2002 15:07 PM Subject: James Yelton and Margaret Castator Iris I have resumed researching my great grandmother Mary Ann Yelton who married Nelson Dunn . While doing research I came across the following at the Pendleton Co Couthouse. Mary Ann Yelton's mother would have been *Margaret* Castator not Susannah. The confusion comes from the the marrige bond itself. In the marriage bond James Yelton and John Ellis enter into a bond. the bond then states "The condition of the above obligation is such that whereas the clerk of the Pendleton Count court is about to issue a license for the marriage of the above bound James Yelton and Susannah Castator" October the 15th 1827 Sucana Castator do consert to her dautor magit marring of James Yelton Sucana x Castator Benjamin Yelton Robert Yelton Marriage license State of Kentucky Pendleton County Clerks Office This shall permit any legally authorized minister of the gospel to celebrate the rites of matrimony between James Yelton and Margaret Castator certificater of the consent of his father he being under the age of 21 and the consent of her mother (her father being dead) having been duly proven before me in my office by the oath of Benjamin Yelton a subscriber and witness thereto and bond and security given by the said James as the law required. Given under my hand this 15th day of October A.D. 1827 W. C. Kennett C.P CTY C. Jerry Dunn
