Edith Mae Melton m. Berle Johnson
I'm helping a friend trace her father's ancestors. Any leads (particularly as to name and ancestry of "Red" Melton) would be greatly appreciated. We have reason to believe that, in the early 1900's at least, the family was living in Union Co., Kentucky. Here's what we have so far:
1 Benjamin Berle Johnson b. abt. 1873, KY
..+ Emmeline Offutt b. 28 Dec 1876 Union Co., KY
....2 Benjamin Berle II
......+ Edith Mae Melton (see below)
........3 Benjamin Berle III
........3 Emma Lula
........3 Meredith Gibson b. Evansville, IN 1930
....2 Tom
....2 Willie
1 "Red" Melton
..+ Lula Mae Martin b. abt 1889, KY
....2 Edith Mae Melton b. 12 May 1908, KY
......+ Benjamin Berle Johnson
Thanks for any leads.
