Letter: Another reader pleads for Jason Harmon address New request is from woman claiming to be a "more than a full-blooded Burton." Our responsibility. Becky Bright makes the cut. I'd like to know how to contact him (Jason Harmon), too. I guess you could say that I'm more than a full-flooded Burton. My Dad, Odie "Bouncer" Burton's Mom was a Burton and his Dad was a Burton, too. If I'm not related to Jason Harmon, then nobody is and I've never lived on Burton Ridge. Evelyn Ann Burton Murphy Ed's note: Ms. Murphy, I do admit you've convinced me. You make a pretty decent case for yourself. We will send your information on to Jason. However, you realize our responsibility. We can't be too careful. It just wouldn't do to have a bunch of faux Burtons claiming Burtonness just to get to speak with Jason Harmon, any more than we'd want to be a part of helping Burton imposters use guises to get free garden truck; cheap gravel, auto parts, blacktop, building materials or low cost loans, or a house full of furniture on credit. Nor would we want to help them get no-commission real estate transactions, or gain membership in Purdy Church, by vouching that any unworthies are truly Burtons. Even if a wretched a soul needed gratis meals and lodging in Edinburg, regardless of how hungry or weary they are, we would not vouch for membership in the family based on questionable merit. We want no part of any such duplicity or chicanery. All we can do is forward cases to Jason and let him validate on a Burton claimant by Burton claimant basis. Believe me, I understand how some feel waiting to get in. I myself haven't even gotten past Murrell Burton, much less Jason or Erwin II, with my claim by right of neighborhood and nepotism. My Dad grew up in Garlin and I've got nieces and nephews. I'm proud to say, who have the blood. But so far, that hasn't been enough to warrant making the registry. Best of luck. -Ed Waggener. PS: Becky Bright has qualified. Jason Harmon wrote: You can give my e-mail address to Mrs. Bright. I don't recollect who she is, offhand, but if she's a Burton from Snake Creek, then he is, of course, kin. I enjoy meeting new cousins and swapping stories.
