>> "Edward Crittenden Burton, son of Edward Burton and grandson of George
>> Burton of Virginia, and his wife, Katie Preston, were the donors of the
>> original one acre of land for the building of the Macedonia Baptist
>> Church
>> in 1889. "Crit" (Edward C.) was a younger brother of Allen and George
>> Burton. Edward Burton purchased the 400 acre farm, later known as the
>> Burton Farm, from William E. Matthews in 1844 prior to his moving to
>> Wayne Co Illinois.
>>
>> My great, great grandfather, Rev. Henry David Burch, both a neighbor and
>> friend of Crit Burton, is given credit for the organization of Macedonia
>> Baptist Church. E.C. (Crit) Burton signed the bond on the marriage
>> certificate of the marriage of H.D. Burch and Catawba Matthews.
