March 2nd

Dear Mrs. Barton:

Enclosed is the valuable diary which I have typed for our

use, and thank you so much for its use. I am not trying just now

to find names of my grandfather's niece's and nephew's families,

as that can be done anytime out of many marriage records there

remains a few I have not been able to place. Would you know?

Elizabeth Yelton married Othar Daugherty, August 25, 1833

Elizabeth Yelton married Isaac Talyor, March 30, 1837

Cynthia A. Yelton married William Crawford, October 20, 1839

Robert Yelton married Catherine Castator, March 18, 1823

James Yelton married Susannah Castator, October 15, 1827

Are we to suppose that all Yeltons in Pendleton County are

descended from the three, Charles, James and William? There is

record of Amelia Yelton who married William Buckner of Bracken

County. I intend to examine the records in Brooksville, to see

if their marriage is recorded there. There is a Buckner burying

ground at Powersville this county. William Buckner who was a

son of Captain Philip Buckner married twice. Once to a Miss

Whitman, 2nd to Miss Taliffere. This William could have been

the son, as I do not know of another Buckner family. I cannot

figure how Elizabeth Henson could have had to be the wife of

William, who received the last payment of his pension on

September 30, 1833, with James Yelton as attorney which

signifies that William was recently deceased. If I understand

it properly. Henson is a name common in Bracken County, I can't

figure this one out.

Sincerely,

Martha L. Miller

GONE TO HIS REWARD

Charles Yelton Passes to the Other Side

Was a Man Universally Esteemed by The People

Charles Yelton was born in Pendleton County, Kentucky,

January 4, 1824; married to Miss Mary Shryock in 1849; and

departed this life at the family home in Newton, Illinois,

Saturday, August 20, 1904, at 5:30 a.m. after a week's

illness, aged 81 years, 7 months and 16 days.

Mr. and Mrs. Yelton were the parents of thirteen

children, eight of whom survive.

John R. Yelton and Mrs. George (Jane) Hepner, Point

Pleasant, Mrs. Atlas (Sarah) Phillips, Mrs. Thomas (Alice)

Burk, and Otis Yelton, Newton, Mrs. Anselem (Callie) Armer,

Toledo, and James George W. (Lizzie) Boswell, and H.B.

(Maggie) Downs, Danville.

In addition there are many other relatives left to

mourn, including grand-children, great grand-children, one

brother, Robert Yelton, and two sisters, Mrs. Mary Gerrard

and Mrs. Millie Wood.

Mrs. Yelton's death occurred about a year and a half

ago. (1902)

Deceased was a model citizen, able, spright, religious

and patriotic. He served in the Mexican and Civil wars, and

in the former is survived by but three comrades in Jasper

County. In the Rebellion he enlisted twice, and was mustered

out as Captain of Company H, 38th Illinois Regiment, Union

Army.

He joined the Christian church in 1853 at Point Pleasant

and was a consistent, progressive and devoted member until

death. Much of the time he was actively engaged in the

ministry, and celebrated his 80th and 81st birthdays by

delivering sermons to the Newton congregation.

Monday afternoon the last sad rites of interment were

observed. Services were held at the Central Christian

church of this city in charge of Rev. Adrian Bristow and a

choir of singers. The edifice was filled to the limit of the

building, and at the conclusion of the exercises a long line

of vehicles, with many pedestrians, marched to the Riverside

cemetery, where Jacob E. Reed Post, Grand Army of the

Republic, paid its final tribute of respect to a revered

comrade by burying him with the honors of the order.

To the bereaved sons and daughters and to all others

related, the Press extends its sympathy.

ELMON P. YELTON

December 1, 1940

Nat S. Patton and Mr Tuttle (father of Horatio Tuttle) think

they came to Kentucky from Massachusetts. They bought up a large

body of land on the waters of Lick Creek.

Patton's father-in-law was Peter Coyle, and Patton put him on

some of his land in about Redbrush, where Coyle lived

until he moved to Iowa. Mr Coyle visited T.J. Yelton just before

he went west, and spent about a half day with T.J. Yelton.

Patton operated and owned a saw mill on Lick Creek, just

opposite where Nat Brownfield now lives. Elmon Yelton remembers

seeing the mill operate when Elmon was a small boy. The mill

operated with a "sash-saw", the saw worked up and down.

There was a wooden railroad track up Lick Creek on which logs

were hauled to the mill, and cordwood hauled to Butler. The wood

was hauled on little cars pulled by a horse.

Ben Robinson lived up on the south fork of Lick Creek,

between the forks and Phil Lafollett's place. One time there were

several houses along there. Ben was the father of Kitty, the wife

of Billy Sorrell. Ben had a son Reuben Robinson, worked at the

saw mill of Patton's, and finally went west. Joe Patton, son of

N.S. Patton, is in Florida, and is a railroad man.

Ellen Gosney was a noted tramp around in Pendleton and

Campbell counties; made periodical trips through the county. Her

maiden name was Caldwell. Don't know the name of her husband.

Hetty Caldwell, of Campbell County, never married; lived to

an advance age; was in habit of visiting E.P Williams, and stay a

month at a time. She was a fortune teller. She was born and

raised in Campbell County. She had a brother - Jack Caldwell who

was in the Confederate Army, and was a spy and recuiting officer.

When at home one time, the Federals got after him real close, and

he got into bed between the ticks, and his two sisters went to bed

in the same bed. The Federal searched the house, and even wanted

the two sisters to get out of the bed and let them search it; but

the sisters protested so indignantly that they did not make them

get up. After the Federal soldiers left, Jack took his pistol and

tried to head them off on the road, and wanted to kill them,

believing he could do so single handed if he got the drop on them.

ELMON P. YELTON

June 10, 1940

On the Job Kidwell farm is a family grave yard, in

which are buried his father Thomas Kidwell; his father-in-law

Joe Thomas, and his brother-in-law - no, William Thomas,

buried at Butler.

Thomas Kidwell, Joe Thomas and William Thomas, all died

(2nd) husband was William Griffing.

When Nancy lived at Butler in Elmon Yelton's

recollection, she was living with her son Lum Yelton, who

clerked in Shaw's store.

Pewee Taylor was a small man; his wife was a large

woman, and she also had a nickname "Yellowhammer". Pewee and

wife used to visit Thomas J. Yelton and family - parents of

Elmon Yelton.

and a brother of Dudley Taylor, of Butler. All three were

small men.

Dudley Taylor had a stepson John Harvey; and a step

daughter Sally Harvey; married Bob Plunkett, and they lived

on the ridge back of the Enoch Huff place. Dudley Taylor

went west with his step children John and Sally.

Job Kidwell also has two sons buried in his family grave

yard on his farm.

of the grassy Creek Hill near the Sam Brownfield place, but

is on what was Long Tom Sorrell's farm. Long Tom Sorrell

buried, there.

accommodation. William Crout's father came from the city,

and settled between Butler and Demossville, near the R.R. He

purchased the farm of Frederick Peel. William Crout had a

LMON P. YELTON

July 28, 1940

John Edward, lived across river from Butler. Think he came

here from the mountains. Think he or wife was kin to the

Skinner's.

James Edward's children:

1) James Jr. married Sarah, daughter of Alfred Elliott; lives on

home place.

2) Bill, not married, works in Covington.

3) Mary ? married Jake Skinner. It was said she and Jake were

cousins.

Peter Coil, lived on Red Brush Ridge, on a farm bought by his

son-in-law, Nat S. Patton. Peter left here when Elmon Yelton was

about 6 year old, and think he went to Iowa. Some of Peter's

children were:

1) ......(daughter) married Nat. S. Patton.

2) ......(daughter) married......Turnpaw. This Mr Turnpaw's

father lived on the Sam Randall place.

3) Nick ?

4&5) Think there were two more boys.

Peter Coil's girls were fine looking women.

Dan W. Yelton's mother was a Taylor. She married (1st),

William C. Yelton. She married (2nd), Mr Griffing. Elmon Yelton

remembers her, when she lived in Bulter, with her son Lum Yelton.

(She was - Nancy Taylor). Nancy Taylor, had sisters (in part):

1) Duranda married Woodford Beckett.

2) Sally married Enoch Williams.

Enoch Williams and wife Sally, has a son:

John Taylor Williams, who married Harriet Taylor, daughter of

Ferdinand Taylor. It was said that John T. Williams and wife

Harriet, were cousins. Elmon Yelton says he has heard his father

and mother speak of John T. and his wife Harriet, being cousins.

Elmon Yelton draws the conclusion that Sally (wife of Enoch

Williams) was a sister of Ferdinand Taylor, father of Harriet,

wife of John T. Williams. If so, then Sally (Taylor) Williams,

would have been a daughter of the old Robert Yelton - which does

not correspond with other history of the Taylor's.

When Elmon P. Yelton went to Missouri about 1883, there was a

Mr Taylor who lived there. The man Elmon worked for Alexander

Green, said his farm had been owned by the Mr Taylor, who was the

father of Minnie & Edith Taylor; he knew the two girls - Mr Green

did. This Mr (Frank or J.F.) Taylor married a daughter of Hugh

Bradford. Minnie and Edith came back to Butler, and were raised

by their grandfather, Hugh Bradford, in Butler.

When Elmon went to Missouri, was in Saline County, and Hugh

Bradford also owned a farm there. J.F. or Frank Taylor did not

return to Kentucky.

(Note: This J.F. or Frank Taylor, was a son of Elijah Taylor).

Pope Williams had three daughters:

1) Eda married John Armstrong, of Kenton County, and lived out

from Visalia, about Goose Island Church. They had children,

a part of whom were:

(a) Mark, lived on Independence Pile; a farmer.

(b) Hiram, a farmer.

2) Jennie, married William Taylor. Some of their children were:

(a) William Taylor Jr., went to Michigan.

(b) ......(daughter) married ......Newkirk, and they have a

son, Hiram Newkirk, of Peach Grove.

3) Rinda, married Arthur ? Bird. They had children:

(a) Tom Bird

(b) Jim Bird

Thomas J. Yelton would send his cattle to market at

Cincinnati by driving them down the Independence Pike. His

sons Edmund and Elmon P. Yelton would take the cattle (with

the aid of about one helper). Then would go as far as Mark

Armstrong's farm and there stop for the night, and take the

cattle to the stock yards next day. When they got to the

edge of Covington, they would telephone to the stock yard,

and they would sent help to pilot the cattle through the

city. T.J. Yelton would come to the market, leaving home on

the train, on the morning of the second day.

John Bell, lived on Lick Creek; he worked at the mill in

Butler, and his wife kept the toll gate. Mr Bell's wife was

from over on Grassy Creek. Their children:

1) Laura, married and had a very pretty daughter, named Laura Jr.

2) Seymore, said to have joined the Army.

3) "Sanky", probably Marion.

4) Bob

Singing Billie Jones, had a brother. Lee Jones, lived out on

headwaters of Willow Creek, near Campbell County

. Henry Irvin (or Irving); his wife was Margy. They lived on

"Hogback" a while, then down on Lick Creek, in a house next to the

creek, joining the Sam Randall place and the Will L. Bonar place.

They had 3 or 4 girls, and 3 boys. One boy was called, "Duge"

Anderson.

Old Daniel Lewis lived in Butler. He was the oldest man

Elmon Yelton knew, when Elmon started to school. He was the

father of, George Lewis.

William C. Yelton owned the old Salt Well, on Licking River,

just above Butler. His son Daniel, helped to dig the well. Dan

was the grandfather of Elmon P. Yelton. They made salt there.

The well is not quite in the river, but on sort of an island, and

near the lower end of the Matt Thomasson farm.

Lafe Bird, clerked in L.H. Armstrong's store in Butler. His

mother was Mary Bird; don't know his father's name. Lafe Bird, I

think, married a school teacher. Lafe's mother, lived in Butler,

a widow. This family came from Kenton County near Independence.

Some of her children were:

1) Lafe, clerked in Armstrong's store.

2) Annie, married and went to Kansas.

3) Isham (or Isom)

4) Arthur

This Mrs Mary Bird lived in Butler, where John Gosney lived at

time he died.

There was another Arthur Bird, a younger man that Elmon's

great uncle, who married a Williams; and not Arthur, son of Mary,

the widow.

There was another widow Bird, who lived in Butler, she was -

Mrs Sophronia Bird, came from Campbell County, and she was a

Yelton. Her children were (a part at least):

1) Jennie, married ......Crain.

2) Nora

3) Sally

4) Leo, and think the youngest was

5) William ?

Horatio Tuttle, married Eliza Barton, and had two children:

1) Bert and,

2) Frank

Think that Bert finally went back to where his father came from.

Horatio, went to the mountains, and married (2nd) a Lovelace.

Nimrod Yelton, was a son of John J. Yelton. Nimrod married

Mattie, daughter of William L. Barton Jr. Mattie married (1st) Mr

......Bloom. Nimrod probably had been married before.

Rodney, went to the mountains.

2) Tone, went to Vincennes, Indiana.

3) Jennie married ......Calvert.

4) Belle, married ......McClure.

here.

7) Lum, married Emma Hagemeyer.

8) James, was a Railway Clerk, and R F D carrier.

ROBERT YELTON AND CATHERINE (CASTATOR) YELTON

Recently discovered information points to the above

Robert Yelton as being the son of the Revolutionary War

soldier - William Yelton Senior. On page 225 in the Order

book 1830-1836 in the Pendleton County Courthouse one will

find the list of William Yelton Senior's children and other

heirs as so; "James Yelton, Robert Yelton, Benjamin Yelton,

John Yelton, Nancy Yelton (who married Jonathan Cash), and

William Yelton deceased who left infant heirs: Alexander,

William, John, and Cynthia Yelton, and Elizabeth Yelton (who

married Clifton Love) - she is deceased and left an infant

daughter Amarilla Love, who are all the children and

grandchildren of William Yelton Senior."

Robert and Catherine were married in Pendleton County,

Kentucky in March, 1823. Catherine was given permission by

her mother, Susannah, her father being deceased, on the oath

of Benjamin Yelton. (All this is on record in the Pendleton

County Courthouse).

Robert and family moved to Shelby County, Indiana about

1828-1829. Both sons Charles and Robert Junior list

birthplace as Kentucky on future census, they were born in

1824 and 1827 respectively. Robert Yelton is listed as one

of the original landowners in a Shelby County tract book page

49. Also Benjamin and Nancy Yelton are listed as early

landowners in Shelby County in the first three books of deed

records in that county.

The Shelby County court records show an estate

settlement for Robert, in August 1836 listing Catherine as

the widow. Earlier records show John Hendricks was appointed

administrator for Robert, deceased October 8, 1834.

In 1850 (according to the census), Catherine is living

with son, Robert and his wife Janetta in Shelby County,

Indiana. Charles is listed also in the same county, the head

of a household with his wife Mary Ann and baby, John - 6

months old.

Charles and Mary Ann moved to Jasper County, Illinois by

1860 and remained there for the rest of their lives. Charles

will become a Captain in the Civil War and the Mexican War.

He will be a Chaplain in the Army and a farmer and Minister

in private life. Charles dies in 1904, see attached sheet.

The attached information shows the family line thru

Charles and his daughter Dr. Maggie Yelton Downs. In the

future I hope to be able to give the descendants of Charles's

brother Robert and his two sisters, Mary and Millie (Amelia)

and those of Dr. Maggie's eight siblings.

ROBERT H. YELTON

Butler, KY

October 7, 1943

There were 5 families of Moore's in Pendleton County:

1) The Moore's of about Caddo (North Carolina).

2) Moses Moore of Butler; came from Campbell County, KY.

3) Tom Moore, Deputy Sheriff, Pendleton County.

4) John Moore, of Demossville (father of Mrs Gaines

Daugherty and Viola Moore).

(Could this be the Moore's related to F.F. Wallace?)

Matthew Wright, of Menzies Bottoms, was the grandfather

of R.H. Yelton. Matthew Wright came from Pennsylvania, and

stopped at Maysville until he married, then moved to

Pendleton County. He died at Lexington, Missouri.

During the Civil War, the soldiers went to his farm and

threw our lot of corn and then turned their horses to it.

The soldier's put him under arrest, and ordered him to get on

a horse with one of the soldiers, to go to Demossville. Mr

Wright was crippled in one hip and could not (or did not ride

horse back). Mr Wright refused to ride and they pretended to

Court Martial him, they lined him up against a locust tree

and a circle of soldiers faced him with guns. The officer

ordered the men to "aim" but did not give the order to fire.

After a little, Mr Wright asked: why didn't you shoot, you

S_B_'s.

Mr Wright was not a tall man but heavy built, and a

powerful man. Old Cap Bonar was a big man but said he would

just as leave be in a vice as for Mr Wright to get a grip

hold on him.

Yelton) was a fighter. He went to Kansas City, and was a

detective on the police force. He married in Kentucky.

the Rail Road was built, he moved the store up by the Rail

Road. Some of Heber's children were:

YELTON FAMILY BIBLE

Following notes taken from an old family Bible, in the

possession of Mrs. L.M. Beerbower, of Liberty Center,

Indiana. The Bible was sent by express in July, 1939 to E.E.

Barton, Falmouth, Kentucky and the following notes are taken

from the Bible itself.

On a loose leaf enclosed in the Bible is the following

memorandum: "This Bible was bought in 1803 by Grandfather

Yelton". "There was 13 of them in family."

John T. Buckner

The front page is missing. At the end of the Old

Testament and preceding the Apocrypha is the following

imprint: "Joseph Charless, Printer, Philadelphia." New

Testament title page, has the following imprint:

Philadelphia: "Printed for Matthew Carey, No. 118, Market

Street October 27, 1802."

The title page of the concordance, has the following

imprint: "By John Brown, late Minister of the Gospel at

Haddington, in Scotland." "Thomas S. Manning, Printer."

The Bible is a large one, leather bound, with a buckskin

cover over the leather binding. The outer covering was

probably tanned on the farm and is held in place by the edges

being folded in and held with thread - the older thread seems

to be linen. Some resewing was done with black thread. The

volume is 11 1/4 inches by 9 1/2 inches and 3 3/4 inches

thick.

In the front of the Bible, ahead of the text of Genesis,

is a list of subscribers. Part of the list is missing, but

several hundred names appear in the printed list.

This book was purchased Anne Domini, June 15th, 1803 by

Charles Yelton Cost 2..13.4 (2 pounds 13.4 pence).

IN MEMORIAM - YELTON

Died, of pulmonary disease, December 18, 1877. Mrs Susan

Yelton, aged sixty four years and some months.

By her exemplary life she had won the esteem of an extensive

circle of friends.

On the 16th a funeral discourse was preached at the old

Yelton homestead, where she died, by Elder William Kirkpatrick.

As we sat there within the time-honored walls of the old

homestead, surrounded by the solemn paraphanalia of death, the

scenes of other days, as weird phantoms, came trooping through the

halls of memory in varied throngs, and spell-bound back through

the vista of departed years we gazed upon them in sweet and

melancholy sadness. That joyous music which floats on the sound

from pattering feet of happy childhood still lent its lingering

echo; that cheering ring upon the voice of manhood's happy heart,

bounding high with hope as it mingled with the soft low tones of

young love's hallowed dream, rested its soothing charm on pensive

gentleness upon memory's pensive ear. But hark! What is it? A

wail of anguish in startling accents breaks the spell. Death has

dealt his relentless blow, and awe stricken we stand in his stern

presence, one of a weeping band of sorrowing mourners, none

knowing who will be chosen a victim for a similar scene.

A historic reminiscence of the old place will be interesting

to many of the relatives. About the beginning of the present

century, its present site was selected in the midst of an unbroken

forest by Charles Yelton, Senior, who came to this place with a

family of seven sons and five daughters. Returning to Bourbon

County some years after, his son Charles Yelton became its

possessor, and December 20, 1810 brought to his home a young wife,

Amelia Gosney. With their combined energy and industry they

established a neat and commodious homestead for the large family

they were rearing.

Until October 1843, death had never crossed the threshold of

this happy home. On the seventh of that month Charles Yelton

Junior, bowed to the solemn mandate and then, as if the satisfy

death's cruel appetite, twenty days later his icy fingers clutched

the youngest member of the family, a little girl of some seven

summers, and bore her away to the gloomy mansions of the dead.

Charles Yelton's widow was left with nine sons and four remaining

daughters and lived to see them all have families of their own.

Each one of the thirteen had their wedding and reception festival

at their childhood's home. Each one became a member of the church

within their mother's lifetime, and twenty-two years after the

death of her husband, at the age of seventy-three, she too was

gathered home.

After her death, her son Richard Yelton possessed the old

home. February 27th, 1866 with a family of six children, he took

up his abode within its walls; since that time his family has

suffered a decline without parallel in the records of the Yelton

family.

October 19, 1868, a son died with fever; December the 5th of

the same year another son died of consumption. The following

spring the head of the family, Richard Yelton, was stricken down

with disease, lingering an invalid for more than three years.

During the time, July 1872, the eldest daughter died of

consumption, the father following in October of the same year.

Not yet satisfied with his oft repeated demands, in September

1876, the last remaining daughter died in infancy and now side by

side in the old family grave-yard rests the remains of father and

mother and five of their children. There are four children living

of the family of nine.

We must all pass through the sad ordeal and rest in the cold,

damp, gloomy grave. But there will be a scene in the last grand

drama, when the uplifted curtain of time reveals a triumphant

Conqueror leading up to the "Pearly Gates", a grand and mighty

host with its rolling wave of song, that send back its bounding

echo to eternity's center, while its ceaseless refrain flows on,

and on and on forever. "O death, where is thy sting? O grave,

where is thy victory".

James Yelton-S.30810 William Yelton-S.35753

Mrs. O.K. Rumbel,

Mission, Texas

Dear Madam:

Reference is made to your letter in which you request the

Revolutionary War records of James Yelton and William Yelton,

soldiers of the Revolutionary War from Virginia, who received

pension while residing in the state of Kentucky.

The records of those soldiers are furnished you herein.

James Yelton S.30810. The data which follows were obtained

from the papers on file in pension claim S.30810, based upon the

military service in the Revolutionary War of James Yelton.

James Yelton was born early in the year 1748, in Stafford

County, Virginia. The names of his parents are not shown.

While residing in said Stafford County, James Yelton enlisted

in 1775, as a minuteman and from that time until in 1781 or early

in 1782 he served at various times on short tours, being always in

readiness to be called at a moment's notice, at least two years in

all, as a private under Captains John James and James Primm and

Colonel William Phillips in the Virginia troops. The principal

service rendered by him was in guarding the shores of the Potomac

River.

In 1785, James Yelton moved from Stafford County, Virginia, to

Amherst County, that state, where he lived until the fall of 1803,

then moved to Iredell County, North Carolina, and lived until the

spring of 1819, when he moved to Kentucky.

James Yelton was allowed pension on his application executed

August 15, 1833, while residing about fifteen miles from Falmouth,

Pendleton County, Kentucky.

There is no reference to wife or children.

The names of two brothers of the soldier are given, Charles

Yelton an older brother and William, a younger brother. The

latter made affidavit in 1833, in Pendleton County, Kentucky, in

support of his brother James Yelton's claim for pension. The ages

of the brothers are not given. In 1833, Elizabeth Henson lived in

Pendleton County, Kentucky, and made affidavit that she was the

sister-in-law of James Yelton and lived in his home during the

Revolutionary War. She did not give her age.

In order to obtain the date of last payment of pension, the

name and address of person paid and possibly the date of death of

the Revolutionary War pensioner, James Yelton (S.30810), you

should address The Comptroller General, General Accounting Office,

Records Division, this city, and cite the following data:

James Yelton, Certificate No. 19337, issued August 26, 1833,

rate $80.00 per annum, commenced March 4, 1831, Act of June 7,

1832, Kentucky Agency.

William Yelton S.35753

The data which follow were obtained from the papers on file in

Revolutionary War pension claim, S.35753, based upon the military

service in that war of William Yelton.

The date and place of birth and names of the parents of

William Yelton are not shown.

William Yelton enlisted in the state of Virginia, sometime in

1781, served as a private in Captain Kirkpatrick's Company,

Colonel Darke's 4th Virginia Regiments, was at the siege of

Yorktown and was discharged in 1783.

William Yelton was allowed pension on his application executed

July 21, 1820, at which time he was aged 63 years and resided in

Pendleton County, Kentucky.

In above year, soldier stated that his family then residing

with him consisted of his wife and a daughter, the latter aged 27

years. He gave no names and there are no further data in regard

to his wife and no names of any other children.

In 1822, one James Yelton was aged 66 years and made affidavit

in Pendleton County, Kentucky, in support of William Yelton's

claim for pension: no relationship to said William was given.

In order to obtain the date of last payment of pension, the

names and address of person paid and possibly the date of death of

the Revolutionary War pensioner, William Yelton (S.35753), you

should address The Comptroller General, General Accounting

Office, Records Division, this city, and cite the following data:

William Yelton, Certificate No. 18540, issued April 6, 1822,

rate $8.00 per month;, commenced July 21, 1820, Act of March 18,

Yelton). Ira E. Yelton, born December 27, 1878, Butler, KY.

January 23, 1958

Dear Mrs Barton:

In 1949 my sister, Mrs Dexter Meyer Senior had some

correspondence with your husband concerning Yelton genealogy,

I have a letter from him in which he offered his records for

her use. I think she sent him a copy of our immediate

family, but did not continue the correspondence because about

this time Dr. Dexter Meyer left Falmouth for post graduate

work in St. Louis, after receiving his degree he was recalled

by the Navy, and moved to California. After his service was

completed he returned to St. Louis to practice. During these

years my sister spent so much time in St. Louis, made a

journey to California. I think this is the reason she

dropped the correspondence. Now I am working with Mrs M.C.

Northcutt whose husband was a great great grandson of Jesse

Yelton, son of Charles Yelton. She has kindly furnished me

with census records and marriage records, which she compiled

after much research. I have been able to help her some. Now

we have the record all but that of Charles and Mildred or

(Milly) Yelton's oldest son John. We wonder if John Yelton

of Campbell County who died in 1852 - age 82 years, his birth

date occurs one year after the marriage of Charles and Milly

Yelton.

The family history written by John J. Yelton in 1879

gives the names of the children of Charles and Milly Yelton

as we have them except for the addition of Isaac, Rebecca,

Molly and Peggy and Margaret. I am inclined to believe these

last four do not belong here, as they already had eleven!

However I do have the marriage of Rebecca Yelton to Charles

Williams, February 14, 1828 - (I have just discovered that

Philip, Jesse, Rebecca, Polly and Margaret who married Aaron

Cherry were the children of John Yelton I have mentioned

before. Uncle John was mistaken there.)

Can you tell me if Charles Yelton Junior who married

Elise Haley in Bourbon County could have later married Milly

Gosney and reared a family at Flour Creek?

Also do you have a record of Historical Register

Virginians in Revolution Pensioners: Yelton, James and

William and Revolutionary soldiers in Kentucky (Quisenberry)

Yelton, James private Pendleton County Virginia militia

August 26, 1833 #80 age 86. This from Mrs Hollie McClure.

Uncle John's history states that these brothers came from

Wales to Loudoun County, Virginia in Colonial times and

remained until after the war, during which time James and

William were soldiers in the field and Charles worked as a

gun maker. After the war James and William emigrated to

North Carolina (I have records of Yeltons born in North

Carolina, later moving to Pendleton County, Kentucky.

Charles Yelton is listed on the Fayette County tax list in

the year 1790. He later moved to Bourbon County. There was

a fire at the court house some years ago in which part of the

record was destroyed. Could it be that his family was as

large as Uncle John believed? I have a picture of Nancy

Taylor, wife of William C. Yelton, who was my mother's

grandmother, and the names and birth dates of their eight

sons and two daughters.

Was Isabelle Yelton who married John Thomas their

daughter? and did not Maria Louisa (called Sis,) marry Aaron

Griffin and live at Gardnersville?

Polly married Julius Thomasson I know. Robert T.

married Anna Anderson? John James married Mary Jane Wheeler.

William A. (my grandfather) married Maria Louisa Pepper.

Elijah married Luthania Barton. Whom did Augustine Easton

marry?

There is a John Yelton and Judith M. Yelton buried in

the family burying ground, do you have record of them? I

know that Samuel and his wife Mary were parents of Matilda

who married Anthony Taylor and that Caroline at age 22 was

listed with the family of Elijah and Luthania Yelton in the

census of 1850. I know I can obtain marriage records of

these I have mentioned by looking them up at the Pendleton

County court house, but I have no way of getting there, since

Dr. Meyer is no longer in Falmouth, his parents seldom go.

Any information you may send me will be gratefully received.

Yours,

Martha L. Miller

later - I have just found that John M. Yelton, born

North Carolina, 1808 and his wife Judith, born North Carolina

was the son of James, as was Alexander born, 1812 North

Carolina married Vashti Williams born, 1815. The will of

James Yelton and wife Elizabeth name sons John and Alexander,

will dated August 16, 1838. The will of William C. Yelton

and wife Nancy, sons Daniel and John I. Yelton, we know that

this was John J.

Information from various sources states that three

brothers, left Virginia after the war and that they had one

sister. I know that Rhodum Ellis who came to Kentucky with

Charles married Amelia Yelton, as he was a brother-in-law of

Charles. Do you have proof that John, Charles and William

Yelton were brothers? They are on tax list of 1811 we know

that Charles Yelton in 1799 owned 200 acres on Licking River.

Was this the Charles Yelton of Bourbon, father of Charles,

William C. and John? or were they brothers and sons of

Charles?

We have record of a John Yelton who died in Campbell

County in 1852 age 82, it also later states in census report

John M. (will) married Ann Lambert in Harrison County. There

is a will of C.M. Yelton (will) wife Anna to certain heirs.

Could it be that this was John William, John being a son of

Charles and Mildred Yelton? as it checks with his marriage to

Anna Lambert. Unless Mrs Northcutt made a typographical

error, as in the instance of the name of Uncle John being

listed as John I. Last summer our county clerk made a

mistake in the matter of a record for me. Forgive me my

lengthy letter. I never know when to stop, and if it is not

convenient for you to reply, I shall understand.
