7493	He was a farmer and could write his own name. Absolom has no proven connection to earlier Meltons. His first record was 1 Mar 1770, when he patented 263A at Amos Creek in Bedford Co. In 1776 he purchased 200A at Button Creek in, then sold the parcel in 1778. In 1779 he purchased 404A at Goose Creek, and in 1784 he and his wife Ann sold 15A at Goose Creek. In 1886 Absolom Melton and Elizabeth Mead conveyed 163A at Amos Creek*. He also held land in Grayson Co VA. In the 1787 tax list for Bedford Co, Absolom had 1 male 16-20, 3 horses and 9 cattle. Absolom made his will 13 Jan 1804, in which he named his wife and children [except John]. The will was probated 23 Sep 1805 at Bedford Co. Richard may have been Absolom's father - they were neighbors at Goose Creek, and the tax records show Richard as not tithable in 1787 [old age being the most common reason for being untithable]. Richard's first record in Bedford Co was in Aug 1779 when he sold a small parcel. On 27 Sep 1779 he made a gift of deed for 211A at Goose Creek to his son, William Melton, another gift of deed for 40A at Goose Creek to his son John Melton, and the same day Absolom Melton peushased 404A at Goose Creek. In 1783 Richard purchased 100A at Goose Creek, and in 1784 he purchased another 200A at Goose Creek. The same adjacent neighbors were mentioned in Richard's and Absolom's deeds. On 22 Feb 1796 Richard Melton and his wife Mary sold 44A at Cotton Patch Branch. In the 1787 Bedford Co Tax List, Richard had 3 horses and 9 cattle, wasn't tithable, and was visited on the same day as Absolom. Known children of Richard and Mary were: William, who married Mary, and John. ------------------------- Here is my research on Absalom's descendants. MELTON GENEALOGY (By Robin A.
