Jill, The settlement of William's estate (which took place about 13 years after his death, after his youngest child reached age 21) does list all his surviving children. The settlement is dated 15 April 1853 and is recorded in Inventory & Settlement Book 1 at pp. 407-411. I don't have a photocopy of the document, just a transcription I made at the time. The children listed are: Daniel W. Yelton Issabella Taylor, late Yelton John J. Yelton Robert T. Yelton Polly W. Thomason, late Yelton Elijah Yelton Augustus E. Yelton Louisa Griffing (late Yelton) Jesse Yelton Columbus Yelton Wm. A. Yelton Hope this helps. Cheryl
