I lost track of this site and just re-discovered it tonight. I am unable to progress any further back than Walter and Melvina. I did find him on the 1850 census, with no wife as noted in previous postings. In later census data I noted a Susannah in the household. In 1850 Melvina was not counted in the "
Creason" household, but a Melvina Harvey was counted in the neighboring household. I did check the 1830 census and found a William and Walter
Creason listed sequentially. That has me wondering about a family connection. Previous postings do not include Walter in the James and Rachel family. Your name has me curious. Are you a descendant of James and Melvina Harvey? My link is through Walter Franklin Harvey, b 1865 in
Camden,
Ray Co, MO. My email is
