James Yelton was the bondsman for this marriage.² Elizabeth Yelton is probably included in the 1830 Census of Rutherford County, North Carolina in the household of her husband, Joshua Erle.³ Elizabeth Earle is probably included in the 1840 Census of Rutherford County, North Carolina in the household of her husband, Joshua Earle.⁴ Elizabeth Earle, age 41 was living in the household of Joshua Earle, age 43, in the 1850 Census of Rutherford County, North Carolina.⁵

Elizabeth Yelton died circa 1857.

     Jacob Yelton was born on 22 July 1811 in Rutherford County, North Carolina.^2,3 He was the son of John Yelton and Polly Deck.¹ Jacob Yelton is probably included in the household of John Yelton in the 1830 Census of Rutherford County, North Carolina.⁴

The household consisted of 1 male 20-30, 1 female 20-30, and 2 females under 5. It is likely that these individuals were, in addition to Jacob, his wife, Susanna Yelton, his daughters, Elizabeth Yelton and Mary Yelton.⁶

Leonard Yelton married Rebecca Fortune on 10 May 1836 in Rutherford County, North Carolina.⁴ Leonard Yelton appeared as the head of a household in the 1840 Census of Rutherford County, North Carolina. The household consisted of 1 male 20-30, 1 female 5-10, 2 females under 5, and 1 male under 5. This census entry is a little odd. There is no adult female in the household. Presumably all these children died before 1850, as none of them appear with Leonard and Rebecca in the 1850 Census. But where is Rebecca in 1840?⁵ He was named administrator of John Yelton's estate in July 1844 in Rutherford County, North Carolina. John Moorehead was Leonard's security on the administrator's bond.⁶ Leonard Yelton, as administrator, submitted the sale bill for John Yelton's personal property on 28 Oct 1844. A few of the more valuable items listed were a sorrel mare and colt, a bay filly, 3 head of sheep, a cow and calf, and some pigs.⁷ At the September Court for 1847, A. B. Long, H. Deck, and P. Whisnant were appointed a committee to settle with Leonard Yelton as administrator of John Yelton.⁸ The commitee met with Leonard Yelton and prepared an account, which was presented and filed at the December court in 1847.⁹

Leonard Yelton died between 1860 and 1870.¹⁴

     Mary Yelton was born circa 1818 in Rutherford County, North Carolina. She was the daughter of John Yelton and Polly Deck.¹ Mary Yelton is probably included in the household of John Yelton in the 1830 Census of Rutherford County, North Carolina.²

Mary Yelton married John F. Moorhead on 22 January 1840 in Rutherford County, North Carolina. The census entries for 1850 and 1860 give her name as Martha, so I'm not sure I've got the right person here.³

Mary Yelton died before 1847 John F. Morehead married Martha Gettis (Gettys) on 9 July 1847. As far as I can tell from the 1850 & 1860 Censuses for Rutherford County, all of John's children were by Martha. Mary apparently left no living descendants.

This family was enumerated twice within one month by the same enumerator. Given that four of the five names of family members are the same, and I haven't discovered another Henry Yelton in Rutherford County, I believe that it is the same family, even though Henry has aged two years and Rebecca has regressed five. Perhaps Rebecca provided the information the second time. I know of at least one other instance in this census where a family was enumerated twice. Even if the families moved, they should only have been counted once.⁶ In 1850, Henry is listed as a shoemaker in one census etnry, and as a laborer in the other.^5,6 He witnessed the marriage of Sarah Horton and Pleasant Earle on 9 November 1850 in Rutherford County, North Carolina.^7,8 In 1860 Henry Yelton was a cooper.⁹

James Yelton married Mary (?) before 1776 in Virginia. ² James Yelton Jr. was named administrator of James Yelton's estate in 1783 in Stafford County, Virginia.³ In 1784, James Yelton first appears in the personal property tax records of Amherst County, Virginia, reporting 1 white tithable. In 1792, he first appears with 2 white tithables, implying that was the first year in which his household included another white male at least 16 years old. In 1797, John Yelton is listed separately for the first time, and James again reports 1 white tithable. In 1800, James again shows 2 white tithables, as well as 1 slave. 1801 is the last year in which James appears in the personal property tax records of Amherst County.⁴ James Yelton prepared an inventory of the estate of James Yelton.³ For the years 1787, 1788, 1789, 1790, and 1791, James also appears in the land tax records of Amherst County, Virginia.

According to his pension records, James was living in Iredell County, NC in 1810. There are two James Yeltons in the 1810 Census for Iredell Co, both on p. 242. One is age 16 to 26, the other 26-45. Since this James was 61, and since neither household is consistent with what little we know of his family at that time, I'm unwilling to assume that either household is his.⁹ He was enumerated as the head of a household in the 1830 Census of Pendleton County, Kentucky. The household consisted of 1 male 80-90 and 1 female 70-80. It is likely that these individuals were, in addition to James, his wife, Mary (?).¹⁰ James Yelton lived with Elizabeth Henson in Pendleton County, Kentucky, on 15 August 1833.¹¹ James Yelton appeared as the head of a household in the 1840 Census of Pendleton County, Kentucky.

James Yelton the Revolutionary War soldier was still living in 1840, when he appeared in the 1840 Census for Pendleton Co, KY,page 243, specifically identified as a 94 year old pensioner. He died ca. 1842, according to the records regarding the payment of his pension. As far as I have been able to learn, he did not leave a will, nor was his death recorded by the County Court as was the death of his brother William.¹¹

It is likely that these individuals were, in addition to Charles, his wife, Susannah Rogers, his sons, William Yelton, Barnett C. Yelton and Charles Yelton, his daughters, Lydia Yelton and Sarah Yelton. Three persons in the household were engaged in agriculture. The census indicates the possibility of another son born between 1813 and 1818.
