James YELTON (b. ca. 1830 in KY) appears in the 1860 Census for Milford Township, Story County with his wife Kezier (I think this probably should be Keziah) (b. ca. 1832 in KY).
I think Keziah must have died, because James (b. ca. 1827 in KY) appears in the 1880 Census for Milford Township, Story County with a wife named Susan Jane (b. ca. 1840 in KY). The household also includes James' two children, William (age 14, b. KY) and Roxana (age 7, b. IA), and William Lenni (age 75, b. PA) identified as James' father. (Since the census states that Susan Jane's father was born in PA, and given the difference in surnames, I think he was actually Susan Jane's father).
According to the Story County Marriage Database, Roxanna G. Yelton married Abram Grant Barker on 23 Jan 1894. The 1895 Census shows a household consisting of Abraham G. BAKER, Gertrude BAKER, Susan YELTON, and William YELTON.
Does anyone have any further information about descendants of these individuals? I believe James Yelton may have been the son of James Yelton & Susannah Castator of Pendleton County, KY.
