************************************
It is my understanding that Grace Burton, b. April 30, 1703, in Baltimore,
Maryland is the daughter of Thomas Burton and Grace Hartley, both of Prince
George County, Maryland.

Grace married Caleb Letton, March 23, 1723 in Rock Creek Parish Church in
Maryland.

When Caleb Letton died in 1763 they were the parents of 7 children:
Caleb, John Richard, Sarah, Elizabeth, Johannah, Michael and Grace.
It is believed that Sarah died young and therefore she is not mentioned in
the will.

After Caleb’s demise Grace Burton Litton married 2nd, Edward Willett, her
daughter in law’s father, they had no children.  As Grace Willett her will
was proved in Montgomery County on 8/15/1792.
