Nancy, that I am not sure of. There was speculation to that due to the fact BURTONs & PRETTYMANs way back when were alongside/following on census and other works. But I have only been given the information in a letter and have never checked it out since it was Prettyman BURTONs sister Jane who is my direct descendant. He was born in 1790 if that helps any as a clue, in Virginia then later went into Kentucky prior to settling in Indiana where he passed on in 1886. His obituary, although quite short, is on my website under Obituaries at http://www.fortunecity.com/millenium/savannah/252/homepage.htm Wish I could help you further but that is the extent of what I "know" on that surname.
