Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/0AC.2ACE/895 Message Board Post: I am a volunteer researcher at the Randolph Co (MO) Historical Society, and am currently developing files on some of our county's first settlers who have yet to be addressed by our research. I am specializing on the area around the small town of Higbee in the southern part of the county. Higbee's main street is called Division since it marks the line fence between the Burton farm and another to the north. The earliest of the Burton line is said to have been an Ambrose Burton (no dates) of Orange Co, VA who m. an Ann Wisdom (no dates.) Their son, May Burton (b. l780) came to MO and among his children was a Joseph Wisdom Burton, of course making one wonder if Ann's father's name wasn't Joseph. Joseph's wife was the former Agnes Woolfolk, and possibly being a Woolfolk descendant myself, I'm wondering if she was from Orange. I'd enjoy hearing from anyone knowledgeable of these surnames in the Orange area.
