Robert Burton, Rockingham Co., NC

I am researching Robert Burton of Rockingham Co., NC. He was a Rev. War veteran and pensioner. In his pension application, S.6609, he stated that he was born Oct. 18, 1764 in Amelia Co., VA, and moved with his family to Campbell Co., VA, when he was about 9. He enlisted in the militia in Campbell Co. and after the war moved to Rockingham Co., NC. He was still alive in the 1850 census.

His known children included William E. Burton, Robert Jr., Mathew, Martha, and Green. His wife in the 1850 census was Mary. I suspect he was married at least once before. I have marriages and children for William E. and Green.

I am interested in Robert's family that moved from Amelia to Campbell Co., VA. I know that many of the Burtons in Campbell/Bedford Co. were the family of Harrison, author of the "Burton Chronicles of Colonial Virginia." I have not been able to figure out where Robert fits in if, in fact, he does.

Many thanks for any leads!
