How interesting, as I have been looking for the parents of Arvilla Burton/Button, born 1 April 1818 and married David White, abt 1844 both are buried in the Unadilla Forks cemetery. Her father maybe George Burton, but have not been able to find anything to back this up. An information would be most helpful. Thank you. To: nychenan@rootsweb.com Subject: Re: [NYCHENAN] Buttons from Unadilla Forks, Otsego Co. to Brookfield There is a story amoung at least some of the BUTTON people of Eastern Pennsylvania that the original family name was BURTON, but when some member of that family "borrowed" a horse without benefit of the keys, and presumably was hung for the effort, the family changed their name to BUTTON. Laurence Lance, descendant of a Burton and related to Buttons.

I have the book "At Rest in Unadilla", and I don't see a listing for any of those names.? Are you sure they're bu in Unadilla?? Last I saw, they were in the Plainfield area in 1880.? Is that part of Unadilla?? If you need me to look up any additional names, I'd be happy to help.
