  Notes from Coming to America The Melton/Milton's Compiled by Michael Leisure
 This information is from the Lasswell family Bible copied by Mrs. Joseph Lynch, descendant of Jesse W. Lasswell and Jimmy Milton. Mrs. Lynch's DAR application #43695 and Charles Milton's Revolutionary pension file. Records of Loudoun County, Virginia, show that Charles appeared there in September and October 1784 to prove his service in the war. This presence in this general area is also indicated by the suit of trespass in Fairfax County against him by John Hereford, Fairfax County Order Book 1783 -- 1788, p. 83. It is interesting to note that Thomas Windsor was renting land from John Hereford in 1792, as indicated by Windsor's will of 14 July 1792 and Fairfax County. Charles Milton bought two hundred acres from Abraham Lincoln's father Thomas in Hardin County on 27 October 1814, Deed Book E. p. 193. They had sold Land in Washington County on 28 Feb. 1807 to John Hall. He received his last revolutionary war pension payment in September 1827.
  This excerpt is from a book entitled THE KENTUCKY LINCOLNS ON MILL CREEK by Robert Gerald McMurtry, published in 1939 by Lincoln Memorial University, Harrogate, TN. p. 36. "According to documentary evidence, Charles Melton was a soldier in the Revolutinary War. The following record has been discovered: "Charles Melton schedule. District of Kentucky, Hardin County----June term
 1820. On the 21st day of June, 1820 personally appeared in open court of record for the said district, Charles Melton age 62 years, who first being sworn according to law doth on his oath, declare that he served in the Revolutionary War as follows: inlisted in the year 1777 in London County.Va....my family consists of my self and wife (Sibla) Sibba 54 years old." Ordinary Bundle #105. Hardin Circuit Court, Elizabethtown, Kentucky.
 Please note: I have hopefully typed this just as it was published. This book is probably available thru inter-library loan, however the Melton data is sketchy. This section is devoted to the story of the transfer of land from Thomas Lincoln to Charles Melton and Melton's subsequent disposal of the land.
 ************************************************************************************
 (from an E-mail sent to me by Eldred Melton, EMelton532@@aol.com)
 Aug. 11, 1998, President Clinton came to Louisville for a campaign speech for a local Representative running for a Senate seat. The President used the occasion to speak about his Patients' Rights Bill. The person who ultimately introduced him was a woman doctor(a Republican from a long line of Republicans) who presented him with a gift--a gavel made from the border oak tree that once stood on the land owned by Thomas Lincoln,the father of Abraham Lincoln, who sold the land to Charles Melton who had settled in Hardin Co, KY. The oak tree died years ago but the wood was preserved and several gavels have been made from the wood and presented to a succession of Presidents.
