     Notes from Coming to America The Melton/Milton's Compiled by Michael Leisure
Note* The man named JOHN WHARTON keeps coming up in documents with these Melton's, such as Land Grants. The relationship is Unkown but it is in my opinion That it is not a coincidence that his son was married to a Elizabeth Farrar. Here is some of what I have found. More needs to be dug up!
Ancestors of John WHARTON who lived in Albemarle County, found living near Jesse Melton and Mark Leake in the 1785 Head of Families of Albemarle County.
between 1766 and 1805. He is believed to be the son of Thomas WHARTON
and Jane MILLER. In 1764 he married Rhoda MORRIS and had seven sons:
