Hello Everyone:
I am researching THOMAS and HARRIET BURTON who had a son WILLIAM
HARRISON BURTON b. 5/15/1817 d. 1/10/1895 in Pittsylvania Co., VA. Have
not been able to find anything about THOMAS and HARRIET.
Among some deeds in Pittsylvania Co., VA are the following:
Book 10, p. 183 10/9/1794

pounds - 400 acres fork of James River and adjoining Northside of Mt.
Misery Creek. Lines: John Cobbs, Edward Pye Chamberlayne, Benjamin and
Richard Cocke. w/William Burton
Do you think William Burton and Benjamin Harrison of Albemarle is
connected to this family??
Does anyone have a Burton/Harrison marriage that might account for
WILLIAM HARRISON BURTON's name??
On the 1850 Pittsylvania Co. census there is a THOMAS BURTON, age 70
w/wife PATSY, age 67. Could Patsy have been a HARRISON??? Could this
Thomas be father of WILLIAM HARRISON BURTON??
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks. Molly
