If someone has a copy of this book in their home library, wonder if they might look to see
if there are Burtons or Tagues listed.
My gg grandfather is Joseph Burton, b 1800-10. I found other Burtons in early censuses,
including Bailey Burton, and George W Burton (who may be Joseph's father).
Living next to Joseph in 1840 census is Tague, about the same age. I believe that
Joseph's wife (married 1835) was Rebecca Tague, so it would be logical that her
sibling might be next door.
Joseph married Lucy Ann Copeland in 1839. Their son james was born in Covington. Joseph
was dead by 1848-50; wife Lucy moved to Clark County, Illinois and married John Ross in
1850.
I am, of course, hoping to find other Burton or Tague researchers who might be working on
the same famlies.
