Hi Tamblyn,
My name is Kristin Marshall and I left a reply to your thread on Afrigeneas. Mealey is my great great grandmother. She is my grandfather, Johnny Vaulx's grandmother. He always mentioned that her last name was Skyles, but on the marriage certificate she is listed as a Colwell or Calwell. I don't have much, but I do have one picture of Mealey. I also found a freedmans bank record and Mealey has a brother named Van listed. Anyway, I hope I can be of some help. Your thread has certainly helped me. Feel free to email me!
