Jessie Howard GARTH was born about 1845. He married Melinda Wyle WAYLAND on 18 Dec 1872.

Melinda Wyle WAYLAND [Parents] was born on 22 Aug 1849. She died on 4 Jul 1931. Melinda married Jessie Howard GARTH on 18 Dec 1872.

NOTE: A, p.106

Because of error on census, the A reference mistakenly has her first name as "Selinda", but family history corrects and gives dates. Issue also known.

Dr. John W. Wayland's notes says: "Dec. 2, 1958, letter from Dr. O. Garth Fitzhugh, 4208 Dresden St., Kensington,(Md.?) grandson of Linda Wayland, dtr. of Benj. C. Wayland (1820-1878) and wife Elizabeth Merry Buckner (1827-1902) of Madison Co., Va." Most likely that "Linda" is this Melinda.

The below was part of a large post to Germanna 2/00:

One of the 11 children was Sarah Ann Weaver (sorry I don't have birthdate...will try to supply later) Sarah married Benjamin Franklin Shields on 8-5-1868. They had a son: Crawford Ellis Shields on 9-4-1879.

He married Dovie B. Shahan and they had 4 children, one of whom was my husband: Lester L. Shields, Jr. 10-13-45.
