Carol, Someone from Morandol-rootsweb, a few years ago e-mailed me and said that Lucius Burton along with her descendants went west a couple of years during the gold rush and came back home via the Mississippi. I would assume that after the death of his first wife and child thats maybe that was what he did. The time period is right. 1860 Census Lucious Tanner Burton b. March 14th 1819 Mercer County Kentucky Elizabeth Miller (Jeter) Burton b. Lexington, Kentucky Children:LT and Angeline Kimbrough Burton Presley T. Burton (M) b. about 1842, Missouri Francis A. Burton (M) b. about 1844, Missouri Issehas Burton (M) b. about 1846, Missouri Children: LT and E.M. Burton Mary B. Burton (F) b. about 1851, Missouri John C. Burton (M) b.
