Hi Delores, Thank you so much for providing me with some "much needed" information on the Burton family. I found your last e-mail to be particularly interesting! You mentioned that Hiram and Oliver are connected to Nathan and Nancy Burton. Do you know how? My guess is that there is some connection here. After 1860, Nathan and Nancy moved to Boone Co., Illinois. There is a Hiram Burton also living near them in Boone Co. (information obtained from the 1860 and 1870 census). Do you think it is possible that Nathan and Hiram were brothers or maybe cousins? Thanks again for your help - it is much appreciated! Lynn > Tioga Co was formed c 1791 from Montgomery Co.
