Rose writes:
I have a Thomas Melton on the 1850 DeKalb county TN Census with wife Temperance and children: James W 20, Robert W 17 TN, mary J 15 TN,; Elvira P 14 TN,; Sarah A 10 TN. Thomas was age 57 b. NC; Temperance was 49 b. NC.
There is also another daughter, Elizabeth who married Thomas PACK. This 1850 census also has a Cooper MILTON living in the same district. He is 35, b TN with wife Mary, daughter Sarah E 1 and a Temperance age 15 born TN. I have nothing to link these two together. He is not old that he may be a son of Thomas Melton.
