preached by Rev. C. Long at Wesleyanna.
Nathan Melton must have gone to Harrison Co., IN with his parents before 1820, as he would have been only 16 years of age in 1820.His father died in Harrison Co., IN c. 1824.He probably returned to North Carolina before then or short afterwards for his eldest son, Robert, was born in Rutherford County, NC in October 1825.(Incidentally, Nathan's father Reuben Melton was nicknamed "Buck")
