Notes for John Romack:
John Romack may be the son of Daniel Romack and Sefrona of Smith Co., TN.In the 1850 Census John is 10months old, in the 1860 census, 9 years old.This would make him 19 or 20 by 1870, younger than Josepine Melvin, but it's possible.His father was a waggoner and so could have met the Melvins in his travels, since Walter Melvin was a wheelwright.Perhaps he took his son with him when he got older.
