Cousins, Since ancestry.com now has the 1850 and 1860 Censuses up, as well as the AIS indexes, I've been looking for Yeltons and I've found some indexing errors to watch out for (in addition to the usual Yettons and Yetlons). The AIS index for 1850 identifies a Yelton family in Ocean County, NJ. I looked at the 1850 census, and it could be Yelton. But I found the same family in the 1860 Census, and the name there appears to be Tilton. Since there's no other record of a Yelton family in that county (according to the local librarian), I tend to think that Tilton is the correct name. I found William Yelton in the 1860 Census for Putnam Co, IN (that's Judy's William, husband of Mary Lockwood), but the entry was very hard to read. I couldn't find him in the 1850 Census index at all, so I looked for some of his 1860 neighbors in the 1850 index. And lo & behold, there's William on p. 407 of the 1850 Census (and in nice neat handwriting, too), but the indexer picked him up as William Selton. Considering that the very next household is that of Sterling Shackleford, and that the S and Y do not look very much alike . . . Oh, well, I am sure I would make worse mistakes. Cheryl
