I couldn't get the msg bd to come up, so am posting to you and here. 1860, Indiana SULLIVAN TURMAN TWP Series: M653 Roll: 298 Page: 1001 BURTON SHEROD 39 M W KY IN SULLIVAN TURMAN TWP Sherod, head, 39, b KY, merchant; Letha 39, b KY; Porter, 19, Millie (or Milia?) A., 15, Martha 13, Nancy 11, Sarah J. 9, Lucy A.7, Fidela 5, and Jesse? 3, all b IN. =========================================== 1870, Indiana SULLIVAN TURMAN TWP Series: M593 Roll: 361 Page: 227 BURTON SHERID 52 M W KY IN SULLIVAN TURMAN TWP 1870 He is now a farmer, with Lecie 53 b KY, Martha 25, Jane 20, Lucy 17, Delly 15, Jesse 13, and Bishop 17, all b IN. (Don't know where this Bishop came from, not listed as such in 1860. Could be a twin? of Lucy or could be a nephew, etc.) I would guess that Lecie is a variation of Lethie/Letha. ============================================ 1870, Indiana SULLIVAN GILL TWP Series: M593 Roll: 361 Page: 82 BURTON SHERRAD 17 M W IN IN SULLIVAN GILL TWP 1870 He was a farm hand listed with the James Eslinger family, whose wife Eliz. was b KY. ??? ============================================ Letha is widowed by 1880, so if there was another wife, it would probably have to have been before her, not after. I never saw a son John, but if he was older than Porter, he may have been gone from home by 1860. (1850 is a possibility for resolving that - I don't have an index for that year, though.) 1880 census: Letha BURTON Self W Female W 59 KY Keeping House KY KY Lucy BURTON Dau S Female W 26 IN KY KY Census Place: Turman, Sullivan, Indiana ============================================ 1910, Tennessee OBION 5-DIST Series: T624 Roll: 1514 Page: 198 BURTON SHEROD 49 M W MO TN OBION 5-DIST He was 49, wd.?, farmer, b MO, parents b IN; with dau Bertha Woods 19, wd., and grandson Roice?

I don't know if this any connection to your Sherod or not, but thought it might be of interest, esp. with the IN link. --- [email protected] wrote: > I think Sherod Burton is my GGGrandfather. > Questions: Where was Wife Letty born and was > she the mother of Son John?
