Peggy,
I wanted to thank you again for your help-I need to use all you posted. I have some new information that makes me think now that George B. BURTON is the son of George Birch BURTON and Sarah "Sallie" LATHRAM. I am tentatively claiming him and V.B. Never thought I would find a connection, but I have been lovingly provided with pics of pages from the WHITTINGHILL Family History from "God's Angel" (book also written, coincedently, by a Burton/COOK descendant) and it mentions another boy (I didn't know his name) named George R. b. 1821. Unless someone shows me another man, I am thinking the R. is a typo and he would not be listed in George Birch's will due to his death. Wife Mary Jane PATE SMITH not listed due to remarriage. Theory, I guess at this point. Oh, for others out there who peruse the web, the book also says that Sarah LATHRAM was from Missouri.
Peggy, you have posted many items online that helped me. I really can't thank you enough.
