Charles TARLTON, and his wife Mary (ELLIS) are listed on the 1850 Census as living in
the Shawneetown Precinct. They have a 6 month old son, Charles A. I am looking for more
information on Charles senior as to his parents and the rest of his children. My mothers
grandfather was a Charles TARLTON who was married to a Mary Gibbs. This Charles is
possibly the son of Charles A. TARLTON. Leroy GIBBS is listed as a member of the Big
Saline Baptist Church in the 1860's. Leroy GIBBS is the grandfather of Mary GIBBS who
married the above Charles TARLTON. Mary's father was Lafayette 'Fate' GIBBS and
her mother was a Shawnee named Nioka. We are at a dead end finding more information
and would appreciate any help.
