My fellow Burton rooters:
Recently, I have been looking at the Jesse and Elizabeth Burton family, of Lafayette Co, MO. I believe I have gathered enough documentation to prove that they are in fact Jesse Burton and Elizabeth Thorp, who were married 15 Oct 1816 in Bedford Co, VA. Look at the documentation below and tell me what you think or add or correct as you see fit.
