This Hutchins Burton's records have been confused with those of a Hutchins Burton who was a son of Capt. Peter Burton of Mecklenburg. They were two different men and DNA has proven them to be genetically independent. This Hutchins Burton (s/o Hutchins and Judith Allen Burton) died in 1828 in Halifax Co. and was not the Rev. War veteran who applied for a pension in Mecklenburg Co. later. Care must be used when researching these men.
Possible supporting evidence that his wife was named Elizabeth is the fact that there were at least six grandaughters were named either Elizabeth, Betty or Eliza. Elizabeth Burton dau. of William Burton, Elizabeth "Betsy" Faulkner dau. of Lucy Burton Faulkner, Elizabeth "Eliza" Tally dau. of Lucy Burton Faulkner Tally, Elizabeth F. Fitts dau. of Sarah W. Burton Fitts, Elizabeth Frances Burton dau. of John H. Burton, and Eliza A. W. Wilkerson dau. of Frances Burton Wilkinson.

Nov 1805: Court approval of a payment to Hutchins Burton for appearing as a witness in a suit between Ludwell Overby and Arringtons. The next entry was the approval of the same amount to Elizabeth Burton for appearing as a witness in the same case. This is a hint that Elizabeth could have been the wife of Hutchins Burton.
Nov 1805: Halifax Pleas 24, page 200 Elizabeth Burton appears in Halifax Court in Nov. 1805 and Pleas 24 pg. 361 in Mar. 1806 as a witness for Ludwell Overby in a suit re: Lucy M. Arrington and Richard Arrington orphans of Richard Arrington . Both Hutchins and Elizabeth were paid $1.06 for two days attendance according to law. Their names were together one line after the other. No indication of relationship is mentioned, but it does seem to suggest that they could have been man and wife.

1840: E. Burton appears as head of a family in South District in Halifax Co, VA census, page 050. Enumerated are F40-50, F5-10, F<5. Is this widow Elizabeth Burton? Appears to be too young. Allan Burton (M60-70) appears as head of a family in Southern District in Halifax Co, VA census, page 049. Also enumerated are M50-60, M15-20, 2F15-20, F10-15, F5-10. Appears as Allen Halliburton (M50-60) in the 1830 census. [NB: Halliburton is not same name nor family as Burton]
From the court case filed Nov 1850 in Halifax Co, VA, "...upon the death of said Hutchins Burton his brother William Burton took out letters of administration on the estate of the said Hutchins Burton.....'.". There are many contradictions in the court suit - early on the complainants said that Dianna Burton who married William Faulkner was deceased, as was Sarah Burton who married Tandy Fitz. Later they said they were still alive but Will Book B, p. 239 Trigg Co., KY, 7 March 1839 and 10 June 1839, (published version) shows appraisement and sale of the estate of Dinnah Faulkner, deceased. The buyers at the estate sale included H. B. Faulkner, David Faulkner, Wm. A. Faulkner, and C. J. Faulkner. A few years earlier, 12-30-1833 Will Book A, p. 360, Trigg Co., KY. shows the division of slaves in the estate of William Faulkner. This account lists children Daniel D. Faulkner, Wm. A., Hutchins B.., John D., Charles J., and Jacob. If these records are correct, William Faulkner died by Dec. 1833 and his widow Dianna (Dinnah) died by March 1839. (These records found by Mary Seamster.) [AW note: William Faulkner died in Montgomery Co., TN, by Jan. 1822. Sarah Burton Fitts died in Pittsylvania Co., VA, 21 Jul 1840]

To the Honorable William Leigh, Judge of the Circuit Superior Court of Law, and Chancery for the County of Halifax: Hardaway Davis and Eliza his wife who before her marriage was Eliza Tally respectfully represent unto your honor, that some 20 years since (about 1830) one Hutchins Burton died intestate , seized of a tract of land in the County of Halifax , containing by estimation 168 acres, leaving a large number of children, and grandchildren to wit: daughter Lucy Burton who first married Faulkner by whom she had two children , Betsey and Charles, and Faulkner then dying she married William Tally, by whom she had five children: William, Bedford, David, John and Eliza, your oratrix; and afterwards said Lucy and her husband both died; that he left also sons David and William Burton, and (John Burton is missing) who are nonresidents of this state, a place of abode unknown; that he also left a daughter Diana Burton who married Faulkner, and by whom she had several children, and who has since died, and the names of her children and their place of residence are also unknown; that he left also a daughter Judith Burton who married Wade, who are nonresidents; that he also left Mary Burton a daughter who married Hutchins Hudson; that he also left a daughter Frances Burton who married William Wilkerson and has since died leaving Julia a daughter who married Thomas Ramsey, and a daughter Caroline who married Richard Griffin who are nonresidents, and Eliza Wilkerson, Richard Wilkerson, Sally Wilkerson, Jane Wilkerson and Bentley Wilkerson; that he also left a daughter Sarah Burton who married Tandy Fitz and has since died leaving three children whose names and residence are also unknown; and Betsy Faulkner daughter of Lucy as your complainants are informed married one Bedford Pool and they with Charles Faulkner her brother are also nonresidents of the commonwealth. Your complainants further show that after the death of said Hutchins Burton his brother William Burton took out letters of administration on the estate of the said Hutchins Burton and proceeded in the administration of the estate , but has fully accounted with your court.....session the land of which Hutchins Burton died, and has rendered no account of the rents and profits but they are informed, and therefore charge has wholly appropriated the same to his own use. Your complainants allege that the only parties entitled to distribution of said Hutchins Burton's estate are your complainants and (proceeds to again name all the same children and grandchildren), that the land aforesaid is now yielding nothing to them, and they are very anxiously desiring that the same may be sold, a division of the proceeds made according to the respective rights of all the parties interested, but in as much as many of them are infants and nonresidents whose names and places of abode are wholly unknown, your complainants are advised that they have no remedy except in Court of Equity for relief. They therefore pray that.....a decree be made for a sale of the land aforesaid and that the proceeds be divided according to the rights of the parties, and that such other and further relief be granted as is consistant with equity and the case requires. May it please the court to grant it.

5/20/2010: Per Dorothy Gallion , "In 1998 Jacqueline and I traced the 168 acres of land down to 1986 at Halifax Court House. This was done in an attempt to locate the homeplace/ grave site/cemetery for Hutchins Burton. Family tradition is that Hutchins Burton was buried at route 58 and Hico River. We now know after tracing this land by deeds and tax records "family tradition" is probably correct."
