DNA link to the Richard Melton b. c. 1670 VA d. 1742 VA line
Hi. I am descended from Nathaniel Melton b. in VA abt 1785 and Elizabeth Hammond married in Wayne Co., Kentucky in 1807. Nathaniel's father is John Melton born between 1740 and 1750 in Virginia. John is in Wayne Co., KY in 1810 and 1820 then is in Lincoln Co., KY in 1830, he is an old man in his 80's. I believe, quite possibly, that my John Melton could be the son of Richard Melton and Mary Lynne. That is the only place I think he could fit in, but not really sure. Would love to correspond with anyone researching this line.
Thank you. Carla
