The Barker Family Bible was known to have been lost while one of Leonard's sons was crossing a creek in Harrison County, Kentucky in 1840. Keturah died in either 1811 or very early 1812. Leonard remarried in Kentucky. Unfortunately we have no name for Leonard's father or mother and no location of their marriage or birth. I do have the marriage 'licence' of Leonard and Keturah.
Any information is appreciated.
There are records of Burtons in the area around the upper Rappahanock and Rapidan Rivers from the mid 1600's. The first ancestor I am aware of was John Burton of Caroline County, who died in 1735 and left and orphan, May Burton Sr. May chose Dunkin Bohannon as his guardian. Eleanor May. May Burton Sr. married Hannah Medley in 1751. I am interested in sharing information with anyone researching this family from Orange County.
