Permeley (Permelia) Sooter
She was born about 1797/98. She married James Melton who was born 1788 in SC. It is believed she died at the time of the birth of her daughter Sarah who was born in 1828. About 1812 a James Melton (along with William Sooter Jr) is on the musterlist roll for Captain James Craig’s Co of Humphrey’s County TN. This was a Militiaand they were classified as War of 1812 Soldiers.On the 1812 Humphrey’s County tax list appear both a James Melton and a Henry Melton. AJames Melton appears in the 1820 Hickman County TN census along with William Sooter Sr and William Sooter Jr, one male 0-10, 1 male 26-45, 3 female 0-10, 1 female 16-26. The children of James andPermeley were all born in TN.
I have much info on the parents of Permelia and also her children. Happy to share.
