The Mormon Church has the indices and the probate records. I am pretty sure that the index is in the Burton Historical Collection of the main Detroit Public Library but not sure if the records are. Ditto for the State Archives which are now part of the Department of Natural Resource. http://www.detroit.lib.mi.us/burton/burton_index.htm http://www.michigan.gov/dnr/0,1607,7-153-54463_54475_18660---,00.html Maybe he had nothing in his estate or didn't owe anyone any money?
