"From Our Branch - to Yours"

    THE BENTON COUNTY,TENNESSEE MELTONS

    I am a direct descendant of Joseph Melton & Patience Hargrove. They were my 4th great grandparents.

    Joseph Melton was born about 1770 in North Carolina to John Melton and Elizabeth Jones.
    Joseph married Patience Hargrove. Patience was born about 1772 in North Carolina to Aaron and Unity Hargrove.

    (Note:Although it has been stated they married in 1798 in North Carolina.I've not been able to document an exact marriage date.)


    The following children of Joseph & Patience are from my personal notes and research. Some may not agree with my list of children,until further research has been done or documents surface that prove otherwise, I believe Joseph Melton raised seven children.


    1.John Melton born 1798 in North Carolina.
    2. Matthew Melton was born in 1800 in North Carolina.
    3.Sion Melton was born in 1802 in Tennessee.
    4.Etheldred Melton was born on Feb.12, 1813 in Tennessee.
    5.Pridgeon Melton was born in 1815 in Tennessee.
    6.Unknown female Melton was born about 1816, probably in Tennessee.
    7.Syntha Melton was born in October of 1819 in Tennessee.

    Joseph Melton died in 1835,in (Humphrey's County,soon to be Benton Co., TN in 1836.) his burial was on his homeplace in the Harmon's Creek community in the Melton Family Cemetery.
    Patience Hargrove died in 1860, she was also buried in the Melton Family Cemetery.
