BURTON AND CROWDER FAMILIES

This page was started, 29 November 1998
Updated, 18 July 2005

I have just made some exciting discoveries on my Robertson, Rudder and Crowder Families, which connects to the BURTON Family.
If you know anything at all about these families, I would love to hear from you.
I would like to thank Elaine Miller for the help she has given me with the Burton line.
It is so exciting to find a new "COUSIN" while doing research.
Also, Carl Ethridge, who has looked up and found information
on several branches of my Family Tree.

Zebulon Lewis, died at the age of 66 years, 10 months, 17 days.
Jonny Lewis died at the age of 47 years, 2 months, 17 days.
David Lewis, died at the age.... nothing more.
I believe Jonny could be John Franklin Lewis Jr. Do not know at this time who Zebulon and David are.
