married in Louisa Co VA
one genealogy says his middle name was Carroll
other children: (not verified)
Sarah
Charles
John
Dolly
Charlotte c1790 + Stephen Lacy
Census entries show him with 5 sons and 3 daughters, so not all the above females are his unless some
died young.

Son Drury married in Barren Co KY. Also married in Barren Co were:
1815-08-28 John Burton + C M Greer [Caroline c1786 Wilkes Co NC d/o Solomon Greer + Hannah Lowe]
1827-10-27 Sibby Burton + Sherod Bybee
1830-06-30 Lewis Burton + Jane Scriminger
1838-10-04 Jane Burton + Abraham Trusty
1841-10-14 Sterling Burton + Nancy M Cole
1845-10-20 George Ann Burton + William Pulliam
Was that William's son John? Are the others related?
Strangely, there are no Burtons in Barren Co on the 1830 census.

This RootsWeb entry says his daughter Elizabeth married a Spillman.
But it says he was born 1772, which means he couldn't have married in 1786.
There is a "Rot" Spillman and a Thos Spillman on the 1810 census for Warren Co KY, on the same
page as Charles Burton and several members of my Long family. (Elizabeth's daughter Martha married
a Long.)

I think Elizabeth should still be at home. Is she 16?
