For the first time I am seeing information that I need.My gggrandfather was Bartly Sisk listed in the Rutherford county 1850 census and wife Margaret.They had 4 children Martha, Melvania, Laura and Ben.Ben was my ggrandfather.It seems as if the name Melvania is a family name.Laura named her grandchild Melvania.She is a cantankerous old woman that won't speak of her family.Because her grandmother, Laura, had 6 illegitimate children.Laura was listed as Laney in the 1870 Mitchell County census but they got her first name correct in the 1880 Mitchell County but spelled Sisk as Sysk.
