George Burson
(11 Apr 1775 - 9 Apr 1841)
"Hon. George Burson has for more than two-score years been a prominent figure in the public affairs of Pulaski County and northern Indiana. Coming here, as he did, in his early manhood, he concluded to make his permanent home in Winamac, and from that time until the present he has been very actively interested in the prosperity of this locality, advancing its welfare in many ways.
It is probable that the Bursons came to America with one of the colonies founded in
Pennsylvania by William Penn, and certain it is that they were all identified wit the Society of Friends down to and including the grandfather of our subject. George Burson, for such was his name, owned a mill, distillery and plaster factory in Loundoun County, Virginia, at one time, but lost nearly all of his property during a disastrous flood, and was obliged to begin his financial life over again. With his family he removed to Columbiana County, Ohio, where he died within a short time, aged seventy-five years. His wife bore the maiden name of Susan Kent."
