Jenny, If you have more details on your branch of our family, please send them to me, either via the list or directly to yelton@cox.net and I'll add them to the website. It's easier if I can do it all at once; I'll just add a page for Clarence Carlin Yelton & his descendants. I'm sure Iris sent your information to me & it just got lost in my (somewhat disorganized) computer/life.

As noted on the tree, he is one of the three children of John Wheeler Yelton (b: Abt 1841)... there were actually five children but I don't have the names or any other information on the missing two that may have died at birth.Anyone else have any info here or on this branch of the tree? What is still missing from the tree is the information that I gave to Iris Reily back in the summer of 2001 (see copied below)when I first got interesting in genealogy and found the Yelton site as follows... "My name is Jennifer Lee(Payton)Brown. My paternal Grandmother's maiden name was Helen Clarice Yelton. In researching my family tree on the Yelton side, I ran across the world family tree submitted by Ronald Yelton and was able to contact him by snail mail. We have since spoken on the phone and he was kind enough to tell me about your Yelton web site. As I shared with Ron, I believe that I have some information that is not currently reflected on either your or Ron's Yelton family trees. The oldest common link that each of our trees reflect is William Columbus Yelton (1777-1833). Here is how I am connected as numbered by generation (with spouses): 1. William Columbus Yelton 1777-1833 (Nancy Taylor) 2. John James Yelton 1813-1904 (Mary Jane Wheeler) 3. John Wheeler Yelton 1841-1919 (Mary Levina Dunlap) 4. Clarence Carlin Yelton 1875-1956 (Bessie Carolyn Dray) 5. Helen Clarice Yelton 1905-1996 (John Leland Payton) 6. James Leland Payton 1931-1988 (Mary Ann Kiesow) 7. Jennifer Lee Payton 1964 - Present (Richard Berrian Brown Jr.) 8. Ian Jameson Brown (Born June 5, 2001 - Our first child!) If you believe that I have information that you do not, feel free to contact me via email and I would be happy to share any additional info. that I may have." The part that is still missing from the tree is listed as #5.through 8. above and its the only child of Clarence Carlin Yelton (neither of his siblings had children)who was my grandmother, Helen Clarice Yelton. My father, James Leland Payton, was also an only child but my parents had 4 children of which I am the youngest. Let me know if I need to provide more information to someone so that I can completely "connected" to the Yelton Clan. Thanks, Jennifer(Payton)Brown Your Yelton Cousin -----Original Message----- From: Cheryl Chasin [mailto:yelton@cox.net] Sent: Friday, March 14, 2003 7:10 PM To: YELTON-L@rootsweb.com Subject: [YELTON] Yelton website Cousins, You will no doubt be astonished to learn that I have finally(!) finished (sort of) updating the Yelton site at Rootsweb. I hope I have included everything people have contributed over the last year or so, but if I've missed something just tell me again and I'll fix it. The index files are gone, replaced entirely by the Atomz search engine. I'm still in the process of checking the site through an HTML validator, so I'll be doing some error correction over the next few days, but for the most part the site should be fully functional. Let me know if there are any problems, dead links, etc. When I said "sort of" finished, it was to recognize that a site like this is always a work in process and is never entirely finished. So crawl those courthouses and find some more Yeltons for us! Cheryl Chasin ==== YELTON Mailing List ==== YELTON FAMILY: http://homepages.rootsweb.com/~yelton/ Webmaster: Cheryl G. Chasin List Admin.
