    1. [YELTON] Re: Origin of Yelton Surname
    2. Hi Gwen, I'll answer the second part first. William Yelton, b 1757, d. 5 Mar 1834 in Pendleton Co., KY was married to Sarah "Sally" Mays b. abt 1765, d. before 5 Mar 1834 as she is not mentioned in William's Will. Her father was Robert Mays of Virginia who died in 1808 in VA. I have siblings for her as mentioned in the will, but do not have her mother's name. I have their son Robert J. Yelton married to Catherine *Castator*. This spelling came from the E.E. Barton files originally and they were married by Rev. John Taylor, the Oath given by Benjamin Yelton. I wonder if *Castator* is a variant spelling of *Kirstaetter*? I show Catherine's mother as Susannah Unknown and do not have her father's name. Please let me know what you think about the possibility of a variant spelling. I hope this helps. Iris
