I am researching George BURTON b. aprox.1760/65, served in the 3rd and 7th Va. Regement of the Continental Line. After mustering out he traveled with Gersham Lee of NJ into KY where he married Rebecca Lee, GL's dau, in First Shelby Co., KY, May/1798, then settled in Jefferson Co., IN on 1811. I have found a George Burton with a brother of Edmond in VA born 1764 but not sure this is my George Burton. I am hoping someone on the list can help me find (1) this mans parents, (2) his place of birth, (3) any brothers and/or sisters, (4) anything beyond that would be icing on the cake. I have my family traced directly back to this man as he is well documented in Jefferson Co., IN in census, taxes, land, and directory documents and by way of his will of 1845. I have not found where he was in KY yet. However knew that Gresham Lee was in Woodford Cy. KY and listed in a historical book for that Co., in early 1800. Thank you for any info that can be shared and I have info that I will share on this man. Billie Jean (Ballenger/Burton) Reese PasaPeruva@aol.com
Hello! I have a few books about early Va. & will check for your Burton. I'm interested in YOUR name - Reese. My Reese ancestors were in Va. - Lunenburg, Mecklenburg, Dinwiddie, probably Pr.

Reese; Samuel U or W Reese; and Lucy Reese By Mary E. (my anc.): Joseph; Jordan; Thomas George or George Thomas (used both); Mary; Herbert; Martha; Henry ; Fanny; Perry; James & Rosa. Joseph's offspring married Ragsdales; Winns; Daniels; Taylors; Merrymans; Neals... Any bells going off?!
