Robert KELTON oldest son of William and Elizabeth KELTON was born May 6, 1776.
He married while still in Mecklenburg Co North Carolina Rachel JETTON. This
name has been variously spelled Jeton, Gieton and Jelton, the latter spelling
is used in the first census of North Carolina (1780). He died in Rutherford Co
Tennessee in 1826 intestate and his brother William was appointed
administrator. His wife Rachel survived him a number of years, certainly until
1844 as deeds signed by her at that date are on record at Murfreesboro. (In 1850
