BURTON, DAVIDSON, CLARY, EASTON, EMMONS, BURNETT, BRADY, SNOW, NOELL, BLACKFORD, WORLEY I'm researching the family of Lemuel and Pharaby Burton, who owned and lived on 40 acres at Bear Springs (near Carbon) from 1882. I'd appreciate any information on these colorful and interesting people. ------- Lemuel J. Burton was born in Tennessee in 1833. His parents were Samuel and Elizabeth Burton. He had at least one sibling, a sister named Katherine born in 1836. Lemuel died in 1896 and is buried at Bear Springs cemetary. Pharaby Elizabeth (Davidson) Burton was born to James E. Davidson and Kiziah (Davis) Davidson in Tennessee on Christmas day, 1842. She had eight brothers and no sisters. We can't find where she is buried and would love to know. She moved around, perhaps staying with family members, and died in the 1890's. Lemuel and Pharaby BURTON had 8 children: Francis (Fanny) b.19JUL1859 John D. b. 18APR1864 Dora Belle b. 23NOV1868 Cynthia Ellen b. 01APR1871 Emily Ernel b ?????1874 Ida b.
