I believe these are in error. Various other records [ie Census, Marriage, etc] confirm her birth year as 1823, a simple transcription error most likely. As for the DoD, it is also most likely a simple transcription error. I will leave the DoD as above for now. This family cemetery plot is located on the corner of what was once John and Robert Brown's properties, and after John's death his land went to brother Robert. No other Sarah Burton's were related to this family, nor would necessitate burial in this spot other than this Sarah Burton. It is without doubt she is the correct Sarah Burton as listed as buried here, with most likely, the wrong dates transcribed during the original survey. As this small family cemetery plot is on private property, and within trees and brush, finding and deciphering her stone will only be possible with permission of the property owner. I have reached out and asked permission to do this and will publish any corrections as soon as possible. The last known record of Sarah was the 1860 census, in which she is enumerated with second husband Samuel Burton and children. Daughter Martha and son John are both found in 1870 living with family and neighbors, daughter Margaret married in 1863, and daughter Sarah married in 1868 and was living with her husband by 1870. No records have been found for sons Isaac and Abraham after 1860, I presume they are 2 of the 5 unmarked graves in the family cemetery. Sarah's second husband Samuel Burton remarried 28 Feb 1875 in Missouri, adding confirmation that Sarah actually died before 1870. =========================================== Source(s): - 1860 U.S. census, population schedule.
