Mary, I'll give you the basics on each file. They are all hand written and hard to read. There are many pages with each name (up to 20) so lets see if we can narrow it down before I send the pages... just let me know. I did glance over the entire Burton listings and none are shown from SC but that is not unusual. There are too many to read them all but these are the ones I checked.

Jackie: Thank you so much for the information on JARRET BURTON, I always felt they came from Virginia, thru Kentucky, perhaps on to Tennessee then on to NC, but did not have any place to start looking....I also will check the JOHN BURTON out that listed him as from Hertford NC...Thanks again for your assistance...Mary Mc inG a ----- Original Message ----- From: "Tanimara" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Tuesday, June 07, 2005 1:11 PM Subject: Re: [AMER-REV] Revolutionary War ancestors Josiah Burton > Mary, > > I'll give you the basics on each file.
