It appears from documents I'm collecting they both married Malinda/Melinda's. So
far it looks like Charles son Richard married Malinda Mathison/Mathewson, and James's
and Melvina Padgett's son Richard married Malinda Strange-- granddaughter of Charles
and Ann Lawallin via son John Sylvester. What really bugs me is I can only find one
Richard and Malinda in the census 1870 and 1880. For that matter the only info I can find
on James and Melvina's Richard is via family obits and a family reunion 1919 in
Maysville.
Can anyone help me separate them?? I had thought James' Richard was b. abt 1847 or
46, but now realize I was basing that on the only 1870 census of Richard and Malinda
Mathison --
To add to the confusion both sets of parents had a son John Sylvester.
