NOTE: Elbert's father Austin married his second wife, Elizabeth Brewster 27 Nov 1858. This date is important because Elbert Austin Melvin was born one month before this marriage on 23 Oct 1858, and Mary Cooley, the mother listed, had died 24 Jan 1858, 9 months before he was born, so it is most likely that Elizabeth is his real mother and born before they married.

Retired farmer
