Letter: Dr. Burton writes from Kingsport, TN

Dr. Greg Burton responded to a request for contact information after several inquiries were made by readers of his wonderful story posted today on ColumbiaMagazine.com on Thomas Burton of Cobbs. Included below are his postal address, email address, and important web links. -Ed Waggener

Ed:

I enjoy writing and I have reveled in discovering my roots. My Burtons in Adair County were common folk, like most of the hill people, but their heritage is incredibly rich. . . Christopher Newport, Thomas Burton, Daniel Boone, John Grider, and a strong possibility of direct ancestry to the royal houses of England through Edward Morgan, Daniel Boone's great-grandfather.

This is a wonderful story that Cousin Greg has shared wih us. Thomas Burton of Cobbs may be the ancestor of many Adair County Burtons.

I think it would be wonderful if appropriate descendants of Thomas Burton would participate in DNA testing to confirm their genealogical heritage.

Local History: Thomas Burton and Cobbs Plantation, VA

"If you claim the heritage of Thomas "of Cobbs" Burton, a short side-trip to the northern banks of the Appomattox River and a relaxing walk in the shade will stir your heart as you come home to your roots"
Photos accompany this article
By Greg Burton

For the years I have studied family history I have known the earliest certain Burton ancestor as Thomas "of Cobbs" Burton. The early Burtons of Colonial Virginia were tobacco farmers like all the early settlers. The colonial farmers would raise tobacco until a farm was depleted of its nutrients and then move to other land, usually westward.

Adair PDB meeting July 18, 2006: A design bombshell

Administrative Office of the Courts, DLZ surprise local Adair Justice Development Board with radically different design concept dictated by concerns for security, rapidly growing Drug Court

By Ed Waggener

The July 18, 2006 meeting of the Adair County Justice Center Project Development Board (PDB) was almost cancelled. Two members, Judge Jimmy Weddle and AoC representative Douglas Teague were unable to attend. Even the typing of the agenda was put off until a few hours before the meeting because the uncertainty about whether the meeting would be held.

It was to have been a routine meeting, but when meeting came to architect's report, and the DLZ architectural firm opened its presentation, a design bombshell fell, along with a few cherry bombs and firecrackers. It was, by PDB standards, an explosive meeting.
