    1. [YELTON] Another Yelton Mystery

    3. Cousins, In the 1880 Census for Morgan County, MO, on p. 230C, we find Hugh Smily, age 66, with his wife Martha (56) and daughter Minnie (15). Also in the household is a grandaughter, Myrtle YELTON, age 9. The census states that she was born in Missouri, that her father was born in Ireland (!) and her mother was born in Missouri. I checked the census at ancestry.com, and it really does say Ireland. Interestingly, Martha Smiley's father is also stated to have been born in Ireland. Maybe the census taker just made a mistake. But even if he did, who was Myrtle's father???? Cheryl
