General Notes: Husband - Henry Burton

---

He was born in 1806. [HMC 1888, 1137]
He was educated in his native country and followed farming until he came to America in 1822, when, with his father's family, he settled on a homestead where they were first renters for three years. His parents and brothers purchased two hundred acres of choice land, which was a soldier's claim in Delaware Township, it having been given in payment of services to a soldier of the war of 1776. This place they found timbered land, but by hard labor cleared it up and transformed it into an excellent cultivated tract of farm land. On this land Henry Burton resided for forty years, then sold his one-third part and purchased the land upon which he lived until his death, which was a one hundred acre tract.
