Christian Co. MO Census--Melton Family

I want to give a special "Thanks" to Karen Mazock form THE CENSUS LOOKUP SITE who has helped me so much with my research of the Christian Co. census. If you haven't checked this site out give it a try, every one is so helpful.

There were two different MELTON lines in the early years of Christian County, one from Cannon County, TN and the other from Indiana. I am descended from the Cannon County MELTON, but thru the years both lines intermarried so I have included both the Cannon Co. TN and the Indiana MELTONS in the records below.
