This has to be Charles Yelton, son of Edy C. Yelton and brother of James Yelton. I had seen the census entry, but did not know Martha's maiden name. Has anyone made any progress on Edy's husband being the William Yelton who appears in the 1830 Census for Wilkes County, NC? ----- Original Message ----- From: "Iris F Reily" <dmreily@compuserve.com> To: <YELTON-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Tuesday, July 10, 2001 9:03 PM Subject: [YELTON] Fw: Martha Elizabeth Seagle West > Hello List!!! > I assume you are all still out there?
