Notes
a. Note:   The Burton Family originated in Scotland. The first to come to this area sailed in 1830 to the port of Wilmington, NC. It was there that some of the early ancestors changed to a river boat and traveled up the Cape Fear River to Fayetteville. In the Fayetteville area, they purchased horses and wagons traveled by land to Trinity, Randolph County, near High Point. The Burtons were Quakers and did not believe in war; so, when the Civil War began, none of the boys would fight. On October 5,1863, some of these boys had been squirrel hunting and were at the spring skinning their squirrels when a detachment of the Confederate Home Guard rode up and started shooting. Eli Burton was shot in the chest and killed instantly. The other Burton boys ran away and escaped. In 1870, five of the families living in the Trinity area decided to form a wagon train and go to Yadkin County to buy land. The five families making the trip were; the Burtons, the Parkers, the Motsingers, the Willards, and the Mendenhalls.
