Thanks

There was no date of marriage on this license nor was there an entry in the index or in the register of marriages. Therefore the
marriage probably never took place,

It appears that this Henry M. Yelton is Patrick H. M. Yelton son of John H. Yelton and Judith Taylor.

The marriage took place at Mrs Mollie Whitton's in the County of Scott Co Ky
In the presence of: John Furnish and Lucy Wilhoit

This would be the second marriage of Augustus A. Yelton

The following are his descendants for which I have documentation



1. Augustus A. YELTON (b.Abt 1848-,,Ky)

sp: Awilda Birticia FOSTER (b.Abt 1852-,,Ky;m.Abt 1880;d.25 Sep 1912-,Shelby,Tn)

1920 Shelby Co Tn - roll 1763 pg 27 a



Ethel M. (FOUSHEL) Yelton

1930 Shelby Co Tn - roll 2273 pg 264 b



Her name comes from a death certificate for a stillborn infant. Shelby Co Tn 7/30/1920 No 2206



Mary Yelton Fuller's death certificate



Shelby Co Tn - no 1140 3/17/1953



Lists her date of birth as 10/5/1880 Ky.

Father as W. R. Yelton and mother as unknown

(this is obviously wrong as W.R. was her brother)



The informant was B. A. Moore.

She was buried in Forest Hill cemetery, Memphis Tn



She resided in Shelby Co for 10 years



Awilda Birticia Foster Yelton Shelby Co Tn death record says she died on 9/25/1912 in Heth (St Francis) Ar



A Foster Yelton is found on the 1920 Tarrant Co Texas census roll 1848 pg 27 a age 25 widow



The following is from the Texas birth index



Gene Nuckols Yelton 12-Jan-43 Male Hill Foster Manday Yelton Anne Margret Nuckols

Lynda Belle Yelton 28-Dec-38 Female Tarrant Foster Monday Yelton Anne Margaret Nuckols

Jennie Yelton 21-Jul-41 Female Hill Foster Monday Yelton Annie Margaret Nuckols

Jimmie Yelton 21-Jul-41 Female Hill Foster Morday Yelton Annie Margaret Nickols



The following is from Tarrant Co Tx marriage records



Foster M. Yelton married Gertrude Pauline Baber 3/26/1953 book 110 pg 483



>From the Texas Death index there is a Foster K. Yelton who died 12/20/1955 in Tarrant Co Tx



A query from Sherrie Powers on 7/12/1999 to the List gives the following



Foster Yelton was born on 12/6/1897

Had a sister Mary Fuller. Possible brother William



Originally married on 12/6/1926 in Memphis, Shelby, Tn to Ethel Bridges



I've been unable to locate Augustus A. Yelton in the 1900 census

I've been unable to locate Foster M. Yelton in the 1930 census



It appears that the Foster M. Yelton who was in Tarrant Co Tx was the Son of Augustus A. Yelton.
