1739- Sarah Elizabeth Burson has been born to Joseph Burson & Mary Rachel Potts at Gilbert's Manor in
Montgomery County, Pennsylvania. In 1739, the Burson family moved to Buckingham in
Plumstead Township, Bucks County, Pennsylvania.
Many researchers give Sarah's birth as
1739, yet quote her marriage to Henry Addington as
1744. Highly unlikely, as she would have been five years old. In his will, Henry Addington gave his son, William, the responsibility of caring for Sarah, but she did not stay with William. In
1806, she moved to
Indiana with her son, John.
Sarah is presumed to have been buried in Friends Community Cemetery, Chester, Indiana. Her obituary in the
Richmond, Indiana, Public Ledger of
25 March 1826, gives her age as 100 years old. The
1827 Directory of Richmond, Indiana, lists early settlers, including John Addington, and states. "Addington's mother came with him, died at 103 years of age."
Ruth Burson is born to George Burson & Sarah Cox in Montgomery County, Pennsylvania.
Arnold Kuster dies at the age of 70 in
Pennsylvania. The son of Paulus Kusters & Gertrudje Theissen Dohrs, Arnold was born in
Germany. He was twice married, Rebecca Nuzom, then Gertrudt Conrads.
