William Joseph Helton is not Joseph Helton

More evidence that William Joseph Helton who married Betsy Moore is not the same person as Joseph Helton who married Martha Colvin. 

If you check the application for Guion Miller, Cherokee Rolls for William Joseph Helton, it becomes very clear that WJH is not the same person as JH. 

William Joseph Helton with wife Mary is in Monroe County, AL, in 1850, while Joseph Helton is with wife Martha (Mattie) in Tallapoosa County in 1850. 


Joseph and Mattie's children are different from William Joseph and Mary's. 

The descendants are different. 

Not the same guy.
