On March 29, 1850, William Burt, Sr. married his second wife,
Milly Glaze, who was born 1793, in North or South Carolina.
William was almost seventy—nine years of age. Milly was fifty—seven. They
were enumerated on the U. S. Population Census for 1850, Lumpkin Co., GA,
in the Ammicalola District, (p. 22, dwelling 1120; Win. Burt, Jr. was in
