Saj and L,
A web page with a link here might be easiest for Linda at this point. We could all have access to upload, so it would not be any one person’s responsibility to maintain it. I used to maintain a site for a humane society and once the template was made, I just changed the animal pix every week.

Techteach,
Would it be a site where anyone can view the pictures or by invitation? Yahoo allows a photo album and it can be set up by invitation only…I wonder how people feel about that..and any kind of pictures could be uploaded if there is no screening..so what is the best way to do that? I could scan or upload but I’m not sure about creating a separate website…Saj
Sue & Tech,
It all sounds like a wonderful idea. I just don’t know how to do any of the website kind of stuff. I know how to get my photos there once it is set up. But would it have to be by invitation only? I mean as far as people wanting to see the photos? Of coarse I would only want people from “here” posting photos. This sounds like a great idea.:) Hmmmmm.
Hi guys:
Wanted to add this new Melungeon url. It does a pretty good job in my opinion in sorting fact from fiction regarding the Melungeon topic. Since my mom’s family line ( including my daughter and myself) suffer from amyloid related medical conditions and since my dau. and myself have the characteristic Melungeon “teeth”, I had bought into the ideas that the other online pages touted, regarding the origins of the Melungeons and medical history.
This website helped me to put these things into better perspective. The author’s conclusion is that the folks are a a mix of Native American and “old world” families.
At any rate, I’m including here, the common Melungeon names which, either way, should help us find some “known” Indian lines if our ancestors were in VA, KY, NC, Wv or TN.
Hope this will help someone.
Deb

Hello Bill :p
Yes and No, I am a descendant of Paul Chiles and Anne Rowland AND their granddaughter Nancy INGRAM who married Giles MARTIN; ALSO, if my data is correct, my ancestor Joseph MARTIN married Susannah CHILES and their grandson, Issac Martin is father of the above mentioned Giles MARTIN.
More like a family wreath than a tree!!??
Do you know any more about these folks?
Thanks Deb
Deb,
Have you been able to sort out whether your Isaac (was his son’s name GILES the same as CHILES?) MARTIN was the son of Gen. Joseph Martin’s white wife or his Indian wife? I know various children of Joseph used both his Martin name and his mother’s CHILES/CHILDS name. Pretty tough to plow.
Bill
Hi Bill:
I don’t know nearly enough about these families. I have Joseph Martin, Sr married to Susannah Chiles and their great-grandson Giles Martin via Isaac and Phillis and then William Martin and Delphia Walden, or so I’m told. Very hard to find documentation on these folks. I didn’t know that Joseph was twice married.
I’m very interested to know anything more about them.
Was Joseph a militia man? Is this your line as well?
I was able to find where Giles’ heirs (the 1776-1850 Giles)
received his bounty land for his 1812 service.
Looking forward….
Deb

Up to now, I have not known of Thomas Shelton’s father.
But I typed in Shelton Va 1775 on a web search and the very first site is this…

If it works..and is showing Josiah as father of Thomas with Elisabeth Allen the wife of Thomas…If into is correct on the site.
