That way, we could get an idea of the family branches and how they have moved to other areas.....>> Good suggestion Suzanne. It has been a long time since we all gave a brief lineage. I think we should do so now and add where we were born, where our parents were born and the state we now live in. It just might help identify or clarify some of the family branches. I'll start it off. I am Iris J. Frederick Reily born in Baltimore, MD; Father born 1913 in Lineboro, MD; Mother born 1915 in Mitchell Co., NC - moved to MD in 1929. I tend to live wherever I hang my hat. Currently in PA. Have also lived in MD, NC, IN, OH, FL, NY and in a 21' travel trailer in 49 states for about 8 years. Retired the trailer in Dec 1998. (no roads to HI) ;-) Lineage: Harold G. Frederick m. Nancy J. Yelton in Baltimore, MD James B. Yelton m. Deliah Harrell in Mitchell Co., NC John Yelton m. Lydia Garland in Yancey/Mitchell Co., NC James Yelton m. Mary Canup in Rutherford Co., NC John Yelton m. Mary 'Polly' Deck in Rutherford Co., NC James Yelton m. Mary --?-- probably in Virginia James Yelton m. Isabell Hinson in Overwharton Parish, Stafford Co., VA Unknown (for sure) Yelton & ? had son James in Stafford Co., VA Let me know if you need help with the lineage. Or, do what you know and if I can add to it I will and make sure you get a copy.
