Have you found your Burton Family yet? My Burton's lived in Hawkins county, TN from 1850s to present. I don't know where they the migrated to TN from. I suspect it was PA, to Chesterfield, VA. .Melissa, Wm Burton's wife was born in Indiana. The rest of these Burtons were born in TN. Wondering if my William fits in with yours from Obion Co.? William Burton b. 1829 m. Melissa I'm not sure but I THINK wm was in the 3rd TN Infantry with the confeds, and spent time in the Ill Prison at camp douglas. I'm researching that. There was an Isaac Burton living near Wm and Malissa in 1860 who I suspect is Wm's brother, with a wife, Mary. William Burton and Melissa had children, James, Mary, John and William. I don't know if there were other children or not. I don't have any info yet on James and Mary, but here is what I have on John and William: John Burton b. abt 1851 m. Elizabeth (helton or Lipe) and they had children: Milly, Martha, Malissa, Mary (My Ggrandma), Chas. Mc, Mary, ARthur, Neil, Edward..there were 11 all togeter, can't remember at the moment all the names. William b. 1852 m. Jennie A. they had children: Allie, Thomas, Malissa, and raised a Sallie Helton (Neice) I'll need to look see who the other children of Wm and Jennie were. Let me know if you see anything here that connects us. Janet JGeranmayeh@Comporium.com.
