Della Marie Smith was my biological mother. It appears that I'm at least your half brother. I was born in Amarillo in 1971. My birth name was Eraquillo Bernald Smith. My name was changed when I was 3. I am now David. According to my grandmother's family tree, in her bible, your name was listed as Donald Ray Melton Smith, born Sept. 10, 1964 born in Amarillo as well. I have also listed two sisters born between you and I, last name Smith, and three siblings older than you, last name Ervin. This is about as much as I know about my family history. I'd love to talk with you. 530-845-0321

JOHN MELTON OF MELTON BLUFF AL

tomjames15 — 2012-04-27 05:34:42Z

Melton-Doublehead’s white brother-in-law

The Great Eagle had ten children including Doublehead. In the book-Doublehead: Last Chickamauga Cherokee Chief , you can read about all of Doublehead’s siblings and all of his five wives and fifteen children. Two of Doublehead’s sisters married white men and several of his children married white people or mixed bloods; however, this particular blog is about his youngest sister Ocuma who married John Melton. Ocuma and John had at least eight children who were half Irish and half Cherokee. They lived at Melton’s Bluff in Lawrence County, Alabama from about 1780 until 1813 when they moved to the north side of the Tennessee River below Fort Hampton in Limestone County, Alabama. John died on the north side of the river on June 7, 1815.

Doublehead thought enough of his white Irish brother-in-law John Melton that in the Cotton Gin Treaty of 1806, he negotiated for a cotton cleaning machine to be placed at Melton’s Bluff by the United States Government. The following is stipulations of the Treaty of January 7, 1806: The United States agree to pay in consideration for the foregoing cession, $2,000.00 in money upon ratification; $8,000.00 in four equal annual installments; to erect a grist-mill within one year in the Cherokee country; to furnish a machine for cleaning cotton; and to pay the Cherokee Chief, Black Fox, $100.00 annually for the rest of his life.

John Melton was married to Doublehead’s youngest sister, Ocuma; and therefore, he was a member of Doublehead’s extended family. The Cherokee village at Melton’s Bluff was located in present-day Lawrence, County, Alabama between Mallard Creek and Spring Creek on the Tennessee River. The high flat land above the river bluff was the home of old Irishman John Melton, his Cherokee wife, and his half-blood Cherokee children. Their home was described as a large mansion by Anne Royall with an impressive courtyard that fronted the house. The house was a large two-storied home that was the central building with many outlying slave quarters, a cotton gin, stables, visitors’ cabins that lined the bluff, and an inn for travelers. One guest said he never fared better in any part of the United States, but their bill was excessively high. By the time Ms. Royall described the village in 1818, it contained two large houses of entertainment, several doctors, one hatters shop, one warehouse, and several mechanics. From the front of the house, one could see east upriver eight miles to Brown’s Ferry where Doublehead’s home was located from 1790 until 1802.

Melton owned large farms and a great number of slaves. Cotton was a very important Cherokee product and the use of black slaves in the early 1800s was common among the Cherokee. Melton’s Bluff was located about eight miles west of Brown’s Ferry somewhat near the middle of Elk River Shoals on the Tennessee River in Lawrence County, Alabama. Melton had several children by his Indian wife, most married white people. According to William Lindsey McDonald’s book, Lore of The River, third edition (2007) “John Melton and his Cherokee wife had a number of children; the names of some of them are believed to have been Moses, James, Charles, David, Thomas, and Merida.” Moses Melton is listed in microfilm archives as the son of Lewis; therefore, he was Melton’s grandson.

It should be pointed out that General John Coffee’s diary specifically mentioned Charles Melton who moved east after the Turkey Town Treaty of 1816 and established the Cherokee Indian town known as Meltonsville. James Melton became a keel boat guide for Malcolm Gilchrist and some of his family remains in Lawrence County, Alabama today. David Melton sold Andrew Jackson all the land at Melton’s Bluff and some 60 slaves. Lewis’ son Moses Melton and Charles Hicks were given by treaty a tract of land at Spring Creek on the south side of the Tennessee River near Melton’s Bluff. Elick Melton was one of the signers of a letter from The Gourd, who established Gourd’s Settlement at present-day Courtland, Alabama.

You can read much more about Doublehead’s Cherokee family genealogy in the soon to be published book. Also in the book, you will find a copy of Ocuma Melton’s letter to Colonel Return J. Meigs about her husband John’s death. Each of Doublehead’s wives and his children will be discussed in detail; therefore, be sure to sign up for your copy of this book that gives important Indian history of north Alabama.

My name is Joseph D. Melton and I happened to run across your question about T.A. Melton and I believe that he is my grandfathers brother. I have him in my trees that anyway, hope it is true, my grandfather was William A. Melton, fell free to visit my little tree and verify if that is true. I realize that many mistakes are made in doing this tree work and that I'm not immune to doing it myself. Keep in touch and I will do the same. Joe

Well I just read your reply to my message about the messed up census image for Gpa Tom Melton (and family). I haven't been doing anything with Ancestry for many years. Am only trying a two week trial visit back to the site. I may start up again. I hope to. And yes I remember you. I used to love the family reunions we would have at Highland Park. It was always so much fun to see a thousand folks all together and think this is all family!! Okay, maybe not really a thousand. But it seemed that way to a kid.
We've got to get connected. Is there a way to pass address or phone numbers without it going to Bangkok??

I found a note in a journal of William Bailey Leverton who lived in Montague, Texas at the time - Oct 10, 1878 - made coffin for L Melton wife. She probably died either the 9th or the 10th. I couldn't find an L Melton in the 1870 or 1880 census in that county.

Re: are the melton's of mo cherokee???

drfink121 — 2012-03-02 03:11:06Z

My research shows Robert Whitney Melton and Earnest R. Melton the sons of Levi Whitney Melton, b. 5 May 1856; m. Martha P. Anthony 28 Sep. 1890; d. 16 Aug. 1916 at West Point, Lawrence Co., TN. Levi Whitney Melton was the 13th child of John Melton and 3rd child of second wife Nancy Blackwell. John Melton is believed to be the child of Phillip Melton, b. about 1775 in So. Carolina; d. about Dec. 1851 in Wayne Co., TN. John Melton was born about 1797 and married 1) Nancy Kilburn; 2) Nancy Blackwell; and died before 1870. I have no information on either of John Melton's wives, but know there has been much research by others on the Kilburn line.

Re: are the melton's of mo cherokee???

Re: James Melton, tenor

henry3006stanley — 2012-02-08 06:24:18Z

James Melton was a very famous tenor in 20s and 30s. In the 40s, with his fabulous voice, he sang with the Metropolitan Opera in NY and around the world. Later he had a automobile museum near Lantanna FL. He was the first to sing "Back home in Indianna" at the Indianapolis speedway, (later by Jim Nabors) See Wikipedia. "He established the Autorama, an auto museum in Hypoluxo, Florida. Ken Purdy interviewed him on his collection and wrote a book about it. The museum's collection was dispersed after his death. Melton has two stars on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, one for radio and the other for recording. He died in New York City."

Re: Zadie Lee Melton

vsczepanski — 2012-01-20 23:49:13Z

I am looking for information on Ellen Frances Melton. Possibly born in Tennessee somewhere between 1871-74 est. She was married to James A. Felty and they had three daughters; Agnes, Lucy and Daisy Ethelina (Ethel). The last infomation that I have found on her is in the 1930 Federal census when she was living with my grand-parents in Grand Tower, IL. Her name is listed on that census as Ella Ford. I also found information on her living in Sand Ridge, IL with James prior to 1930. Any information would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance for any information you may have.

Re: Zadie Lee Melton

vsczepanski — 2012-01-20 23:27:02Z

HI,
My great grandmother was Ellen Frances Melton, I don't have and have not been able to find any information on her. I know that she was married to James A. Felty and lived in Il. and possibly was born in Kentucky or Tennessee. I believe she was born sometime between 1871-1874 est. I also know that she and James had three daughters, Agnes, Lucy, and Ethel. I'm not sure what happened to James, I suspect that they either divorced or she was widowed. I found her living in Grand Tower,Il in the 1930 census with my grand-parents. Her name at that time is listed as Ella Ford. If anyone has any information on her, it would be greatly appreciated. I have been able to find info on James, but nothing on Ellen. Thanks,
