David, here is the website:
www.familytreemaker.com/users/l/e/i/Vera-M-Leisure
It is an excellent site... chock full of Meltons and Sheffields. And it does include lots of sources and facts. I have just been trying to find something more definitive to indicate Hannah's surname.
Just a note: From a fellow Sheffield researcher, concerning Mary Sheffield (d/o Joh Sr) who married Isaac Dunn and the DAR index -- found in the Ancson Co. NC library:
"The articles and notes in the library list Mary's father as John Sheffield and mother, Johanna Smith. I've never found any proof of the Smith connection, but confess, I've never looked."This comes from newspaper articlesand the book "History of Anson Co. NC 1750-1976" by Mary L. Medley. Now we already know that some "facts" from DAR have been proven to be incorrect --- that is mixing info for John Sheffield from Duplin Co NC with that of John from Moore Co. NC. So not sure if DAR would be a reliable source, unless it actually included the original source.
Anyway, so far I will keep both Melton and Smith in my files.
You can contact me personally if you would like to exchange more info.
