trusted friend of Lord Baltimore and shortly after his arrival was appointed
secretary of the province and privy council. He was closely identified with
the interests of Lord Baltimore in Maryland and died in battle during the
engagement at the Severn. His descendants are still found in Maryland,
Virginia, Ohio and other western states, and have filled many positions of
public trust, including a cabinet office and places of high military rank, a
representative of the family having been a brigadier general of volunteers.
Forsyth Hatton, the paternal grandfather of the Doctor, was a native
of Virginia and by trade was a blacksmith. In 1836 he came to Illinois and forty years later died at his home in Marshall county, at the age of seventy-
six years. One of his brothers was a soldier in the war of 1812, and was in
action at the battle of New Orleans, and another served in the Mexican war,
enlisting in 1847. The grandfather of Forsyth Hatton was a captain in
the British army and was serving under General Wolfe when he fell at the
battle of Quebec. The father of the Doctor was Andrew Hatton, a native
of Rockbridge county, Virginia. He married Artemisia Moulton, who was
born in Tazewell county, Illinois, and a daughter of Levi Moulton, who was
a native of Kentucky and representative pioneer of Tazewell county. Levi
Moulton married Mary Burns, a daughter of Garrett Burns, who was born
at Rising Sun, Kentucky, in 1801. Her father was born near Edinburg,
Scotland, and was an own cousin of Robert Burns, the well known Scot-
tish bard. In 1786 Garrett Burns came to the United States with his
parents, the family locating in eastern Maryland. He, however, started for
the western frontier and crossing the Alleghany mountains he cast in his
lot with the pioneer settlers in Kentucky, making his home on the Ohio
river near Cincinnati. Those were dangerous and troublous times on the
frontier and the pioneers were almost constantly warring with the Indians
of the territory. During the fall that he arrived on the "dark and bloody
ground" Mr. Burns joined the army and through the succeeding seven years
was in almost constant service, taking part in many of hardest-fought en-
gagements with the Indians in the successive campaigns under Generals
Harmar, St. Clair and Anthony Wayne. In a hand-to-hand fight with an
Indain warrior at the time of St. Clair's defeat, his thumb was cut off by a
tomahawk stroke which was aimed at his head, but which he parried with
his rifle. Making good his escape he started with two wounded companions
through the wild forests for the nearest pioneer settlements. They had no
arms except hunting knifes, no blankets and no means of making a fire. For
three weeks they subsisted on acorns, black cherries and slippery-elm bark
and traveled day after day through forests infested by wild animals and still
wilder men till they safely arrived at a settlement on the Ohio river. In
1794 Mr. Burns was again under the command of General Wayne in battle

In searching Ancestry.com for information about my maternal GGGrandparents, Levi Moulton and Mary Burns, I found the trees that you have submitted. Very interesting.
From my work with some of my cousins I have fair information about my own line back to Mary and Levi. However I have only been able to trace back one generation Further in the Moulton line and I have no information about the Mary Burns' antecedents. If any of you can give me a boost or a clue about their ancestries it will be greatly appreciated.
I have a copy of a document written by Levi Marion and dictated by his mother Mary.It lists data about the births, marriages, etc of Mary and Levi and their family. It seems to agree with the information that most of you carry.The writing is close to calligraphy.
Then I noticed some of you carry the Name of Isaac Fisher as a Grandson of Levi and Mary.
I have a copy of two newpaper writeups abou Issac. These were published in a Santa Barbara newspaper and discussed his reaching the age of 102.. Unfortunately the clippings are not dated.
Then there is another letter from a W. A. Martin of Ft. Collins, CO and dated August 10, 1941.
He was obviously searching for background on Mary Burns. Any knowledge of this man or of any living descendants would be of interest to me.
One of my objectives in the genealogy game is to determine my ancestor"s European origins and the whens and whys of their immigration.
All of you are obviously much further along with your research and certainly better organized than me. Nevertheless, I want to share what I have that might be of interest to you and possibly learn from you.
I hope to hear from you. HOWARD BEDFORD SHIRLEY

The first church building was built of brick and was erected in 1851. The congregation became too large for it, and it was sold to the Germans, and Nov. 28, 1869, the second edifice was dedicated. This was burned Feb. 17, 1870; fire caused by a defective flue. Another and the third building was erected, which was dedicated Aug. 28, 1870, and Oct. 29, 1876, was burned, being set on fire by lightning. The congregation, not dishearted, erected another, which was dedicated July 29, 1877. The congregation has expended, on the several housed, about $32,000. The present membership is about 150.
