    2. Laura - thanks for this info. It helps clarify things a bit. I was inclined to believe that Lucius Tanner Burton had been married twice based on the birthdates of his children (and the apparent lack of a wife in the 1850 census). The first 3 children that I know for him were Presley b. abt 1841, Francis b. abt 1844, and Isschnar b. abt 1845. Then there is a six year gap to the next child, Mary B. born abt 1851. I thought the gap was likely caused by either the early death of one or more children or the death of his spouse. I decided to see if Lucius' wife, Elizabeth Miller Jeter, appears in the 1850 census and I think I found her. There is a "Jeeter" family listed in Randolph Co., Union Twp, page 269. The family is listed as follows: C. Jeeter, 48, Shoemaker, Va Amy, 49, VA Elizabeth, 23, KY Ann, 20, KY Jesse, 17, Farmer, KY Mary, 14, KY Joseph, 12, KY Susan, 10, KY Now if only I knew how Angeline Kimbrough is connected to the Kimbrough family of Randolph County.

I visited the burial site of Elijah and Mary (Polly) Burris Burton last Memorial Day weekend. There were four stones there, but only two stones are visible at this time. I will have to check my photos to remember which two. Angelina is buried there with her child. I believe someone told me that she died in childbirth and she was indeed buried with her baby boy. I don't remember for sure, but I don't think we were able to determine who the other burials were at that site. One stone is broken off at the ground and it, along with one other, is buried in the dirt. This burial site was on the family farm. It is now in the middle of a huge field, protected only by some metal stakes and a small tree to mark it. The owners were kind enough to take us out there in a huge F-350. I can guarantee you that even my old car wouldn't have made it over the dirt clods in that plowed field!! My mom got a terrible case of poison something without even leaving the truck!
