Wealthy Burton m: Levi West 1771 in N. C. Levi was born in MD in 1758. Has
anyone come across Wealthy in their search? Seems the names Wealthy &
Woolsey have a connection. There is also a connection between the West's and
Prettyman's.

Sure wish you'd asked the Woolsey Burton question a week ago, when I was
looking through the 1800 Sussex County Census. I'd have paid more attention.
Do remember there was a Woolsey (there are quite a few) because lived near a
distant Prettyman relative. Didn't copy off the page. The Woolsey this may
be is born 6, June 1782, died 25, July 1817, married Mary Tingle?

Re: Elizabeth Burton. I have an Elizabeth Burton in records of St. George's
Chapel, born 27, February 1774, daughter of Joseph & Elizabeth Burton. This
is Wright's, Vital Records of Kent & Sussex Counties, 1686-1800, page # 102.
A marriage is listed in Lewes & Coolspring Presbyterian Church, John Longo
(sic) to Elizabeth Burton, 16, February 1792. Same source as above, page
#133.

All the conversation made me curious. Hope this helps. Cathy
