I would love to see the databases. I have tried to look at not only my very direct line but who siblings married as well..then you get a more rounded picture of all the intermingling going on. Thanks, Saj
I’ll see if I still have them saved to my favorites, if not I’ll get them from my brother.
Sag, and Lisa: this may have no interest or connection but when I read the name Melton in your list I went into my stored items. My grandfather purchased a trunk at a sale sometimes between 1900 and 1920. Items in that trunk included a Bible which was then in rough condition and so it was always kept in a safe place in our home only to be viewed on occassion. I now have it — a Church of England Bible printed in 1761. We have always considered it a Melton family bible as on the largest free space just before the New Testament is written in beautiful scrip John Melton. At the top of that page is written Joanna Melton Wells(if we read it right). Below towards the bottom is written Henry Melton was born 17 day of April_______
Hrny Y Melton was born on 17 of ___________
The page before this is used for birth entries:
Liza Melton Daughter of Susannah Melton was born on 11th day of April 1813 on Sunday about 2 oclock. Then follows:
Agnes hestor was born 17 day of January 1790
Elizabeth hestor was Born the 8 day of November 1791
________hestor was born the 6 of April 1793
henry hestor was born the 17 of April 1794
Location of this bible upon purchase would have been in lower Halifax County or Mecklenburg County Virginia along the Virginia-Carolina line or Northern Granville County.
This may have no connection or fit any names for anyone out there but since you brought up the Melton name I thought I would share it. Ed

Hello and thank you for this information. None of the names mentioned seem familiar to me. My brother has done a lot of research on the Melton and Gentry families in our heritage. I’m more interested in finding out information on my Thomas and Davis heritage. I mentioned the databases for another member of the forum.
I just joined the forum in hopes of finding more information on my father’s paternal ancestry. They are most recently from Tennessee (Hamilton, Monroe, Loudon, Roane and maybe Blount counties), most having migrated there from NC counties of Haywood, Macon, Swain, Graham, Jackson, Cherokee and Buncombe.
Paternal Surnames: Myers, Hyde, Fox, Johnson, Kirkland, Leatherwood, Walker
Working backwards beginning with his father:
1) James Myers b. approx. 1910 in either Monroe or Loudon Cty, TN
2) James Myers’ parents: James M. Myers m. Mary Sudie Hyde; Other children of James & Sudie: Mae M. Boles, Tene Myers, Maud M. Bradley
Hit Myers’ Brickwall beyond James M. Myers.
3) Mary Sudie Hyde’s parents: John L. Hyde (b. abt 1852 Cherokee Cty, NC) m. Elizabeth Fox (b. abt 1850); Other children of John Hyde & Elizabeth Fox: Lillie H. Walters, Nan Yell, Rosa H. Johnson, John Hyde, Nicholas Hyde
4) Elizabeth Fox’s parents: Elizabeth Louisa Johnson (b. abt 1821, NC) m. Isaac Fox (b. Indiana, according to census)
Hit Fox Brickwall beyond Isaac Fox.
I have additional info on Elizabeth Johnson’s family that goes back to Jamestown. Includes surnames York, Durham, Aldridge, Symons, Seymour, Magnum, Smoot, Wood, Allen, Johnston
5) John L. Hyde’s parents: William Hyde (b. 1816, NC) m. Elizabeth Ann Kirkland (b. 1829, TN or NC).
6) William Hyde’s parents: Benjamin Hyde (b. 1772, NC) m. Elizabeth Rebecca Leatherwood (b. 1783, NC)
Elizabeth Rebecca Leatherwood’s parents: Edward Leatherwood (b. 1754, VA) m. Betsy “Quaty” Walker (b. abt 1755), full-blooded Cherokee??
7) Elizabeth Ann Kirkland’s parents: William Kirkland (b. 1803, NC) m. Mary “Polly” Walker (b. abt 1812, NC)
I would appreciate any information on these families and their Native American relationships.

Hi,
Just quickly posting my surnames on father’s side:
Brown–Virginia (not sure of county)
Jenkins–not sure of origin but children born in Florida
Bryant–North Carolina (not sure of county)
possibly Cook as well
Back to bed….
All,
Here is a link to a site that has a wealth of info and names of FPC and Indians in the early colonies. All the links are interesting but I found the Colonial Tax Lists, Census, etc. very interesting. You’ll find all the names that most of us are looking for on this list; Collins, Gibson, Goins, Harris, Cole, Bowman, Anderson, to name just a few. You can also order the book which is kind of “pricey” but I’m sure well worth it.

Thanks for the info, but most of it I already knew. William Goslin, and James Madison Brackeen both died in 1887, supposedly that is the same time my Belzora, Melzora Elizabeth died but I can’t find anything on her death much less of where she is buried. Eliza was William Daniel Brackeens mother she died shortly after his birth, so the line of children for James Madison is half to William Daniel Brackeen. I don’t know if I should just give up looking for her or continue, seems like it is not meant for me to know. John C. Boyd did marry a Martha Booth they ended up in Clovis New Mexico. I guess my next trip will be there so I can pull his will and probate papers and hope that he has Belzora’s name down so I will know exactly who I am looking for. He did leave my ggrandma minerals to a piece of land there, but that is all I know. Thanks for all you have done

Thought I would add onto my list, since got my PAF working again – somewhat.:rolleyes:
Wow, that’s quite a line up of names I’m SO familiar with, either as Blackfoot identified, or Saponi — Gibson, Harris, Jeffers (Jeffries), Walker, Allen. It makes you realize why some Ohio and Missouri Saponi consider the two — (Eastern) Blackfoot and Saponi — synonomous.
Linda,
I have wondered about my gr-grandmother Nolia Bryant. I was told she was part Cherokee by my dad (who’s deceased), my cousin says Grandma Nolia was French, and I wondered if there was a chance Grandma Bryant could have also been Blackfoot/Saponi in addition to my dad’s mother who is supposed to have been one-half to one-fourth Blackfoot. Rhody Harris is Grandma Nolia’s grandmother. Rhody was born 12 Oct 1812 in Grainger Co., TN and died in Knox Co., KY on 6 Jan 1853.
It has taken a few years to compile that list. Even though I have brick walls with some of my family branches, I am sure there are even more family lines for me to find. 🙂
Anita B. aka Sparrow
I saw your list and have many of the same names. Hill, Walker, and Allen names are in my family. I have a Pryor Lee Hill in the family tree. Though, I was told the Prior lee part came from a famous person of the period and was not a ‘family’ name.
I am curious about your Hill line. Would you provide more info, maybe we have a connection.
