This has given me so many leads. Because of the 1920 census of Henry Burton (Richard's father): 1920 McClain Co. OK, Colbert Twp, ED 76 Sh 10a, Jan. 17 & 18 #169 Burton, Henry head owns/mort. 52 wid b. TN/TN/TN Farmer/General Farm Rosa dau 19 single OK/TN/TN no occup.

You have given me the burial place of Lutitia (Wolfe) and Henry Burton. Apparently he returned to TX after 1920. This is the family in 1910: 1910 Bowie Co. TX, Prec. 3, ED 15 Sh 8a (p 230), April 25 & 26 #144/144 [note the handwriting of the enumerator on this page is very poor and confusing] Burton, Henry head ?41 mar1 23yrs b.

I did try using just the Iva/Ivy first name trying to match up with the Burton woman but nothing looked significant. Interestingly there is a Burton man (and family) just prior to the 1920 census you cite for Archie and Maud Easley. I have not identified him. I had used the Bowie USGenWeb page but did not check thoroughly enough now I see. I could not see a search engine for the whole county page so you must have stepped through all the categories?? I do thank you. Just an aside, but I am very steeped in Bowie Co. My GGGrandparents were there before 1840, John Nunn Stewart and Isabella Jane Hoskins (probably sister to Alfred Gatewood Hoskins of Bowie Co.) You will note I have submitted the Stewart Bible record to the Bowie page. Thank you very much. Shirley BOGART Harper
