Thomas Burton (Bert) England was the son of Robert M. England and Martha D. Norris.  This England line does not lead back to my England family in Anderson County, Tennessee.  Rather, it leads back to Burke County, North Carolina.  I think there's a good possibility that my England family and the line of Robert M. England may connect up back in Burke County, but this is not proven.
