Charles: Are you interested in Mahlon Hahn PELTON?He is the brother of my ancestor John PELTON. They resided in Butler County, Ohio and Hamilton County, Ohio (see census of 1850 and 1840). Catherine HAHN, daughter of Peter HAHN, was their mother.Their ancestry is well documented in the book "Pelton Family in America" although it does not tie directly to them. I have often thought that the information giver misrepresented the facts in order to hide the truth of the murder in which John PELTON was involved.Whereas the book recites that John was murdered by his partner, it is in fact the other way around and John was executed for his crime.
