Longfield Plantation - Burton Family Cemetery
Henrico County, Virginia, USA
Longfield Plantation was the original 700 acre tract patented to John Burton 22 Mar 1665, and purchased of neighbor John Cox. Longfield, as it was then known, was just across the James river from John's brother, Thomas Burton and his plantation, Cobbs.
In John Burton's will, dated 12 Feb 1689 [Henrico Will Bk v:115], he devised Longfield to his son, Robert, and a tract taken from it and called 'the Level' he gave to his only other surviving son, William.
Family burials on the plantation land was a common practice during the Burton's time, and continued for many years afterwards. The Burton's were, for the most part, not known to be religious, and the local vestry books were lacking in Burton registries for quite a time, yet another affirmation of many of their final resting places.
