In the 1870 Census we found George Burger with a wife named Elizabeth, parents of Martha and Albert Burger, both born in Penn.
We also found the following:
William Burger age 24 born Penn.
Susanna (wife) age 28 born Penn.
Children:
John born Ill.
Anna M. born Ill.Samuel Burger age 28 born Penn.
Barbara (wife) age 23 born Penn.

(Mother to George, William and Samuel; 3 brothers)From the autograph book of Albert Burger, her brother, she, Martha writes:
Tony, Dear Brother, Dec 8, 1883
Happy is the cat
Happy is the kitten
Happy is the young man
That never got the mitten
Yours Truly, Martha Burger
(Other dates and places would put this written in Pine Creek, Ogle Co., Ill.)
The gal you've got your eye upon
Would make a tidy wife. Sir
But a dry goods man will cut you out,
On that I'll bet my life, Sis.I am always confused as to who Ben Tilton was, Grandma Goldie always said he was her mothers sisters son. Was she married to a Tilton also? Ruby seems to think he was on the Teeter side, but we still cannot place him.

Allen Hiatt, farmer, P.O. Luberton. The progress, growth, development and present prosperity of Clinton County are unquestionably due to the enterpirse, energy and foresight of her pioneers, and few of this class are more kindly
remembered in Union and Liberty Township thatn the Hiatt family, who genealogy and history largely appear in the above sketch of Isaac Hiatt. Allen Hiatt was born December 15, 1814, in Union Township, Clinton Co., Ohio, where he spent his early life, and in fact gving his father the benefit of his time until twenty seven years of age, when he entered upon the duty of life for himself. He settled on his present farm of 250 acres, in 1855, and now owns two other good farms in the county. He is well situated in life, and possessess all that is essential to a neat, comfortable and desirable home. He is a practical and successful farmer, believing in doing all things well, and is surrounded by a fair selection of stock and farm implements. His interest in the welfare of all public improvements has well spoken for itself, during his life in Clinton County. He remains in single state of life until October 12, 1854, when he united in marriage with Mrs. Susan B. (Folger) Johnston, who was born August 25, 1823, in Cincinnati, Ohio,the then embryotic city and present metropolis of the Central States. To this union have been given four children, all now living. To Mrs. Hiatt and her first husband, James M. Johnston, were given three childre, who were reaised by her and Mr. Hiatt in Clinton County. One of
her sons, Albert Johnston, in 1861 responded to the President's call for troops and enlisted to defend our county, for which he fought until life was extinct.On December 31, 1861, while engaged in the battle of Stone River, he was reported wounded, but was never discovered. Mrs. Hiatt is a daughter of John W. and Emma (Swaim) Folger, who were both natives of Nanctucket Island, and were distantly related to the maternal ancestry of Benjamin Franklin. John W. and Emma came to Cincinnati Ohio, in an early day, where they matured and Married, and he for many years followed New Orleans trading, but about the
middle of the present century he buried his wife and married his second companion, who with him subsequently removed to Hennepin, Ill., where he died, and the widow still survives at the age of four-score years.
