Just a bit of information that might help. A family of Sherriff's and a family of Holland's were camped at the outwoods in Burton when an incident took place involving three of the Sherriff's son's in the early 1900's. The lads were poaching on farmland when the farmer caught them, a fight started and the farmer and his son were chased off. The farmer came back with the local policeman and the fight continued, later the policeman died of his injuries. Hope Sherriff and Arkless Holland were later arrested for aiding the escape of the Sherriff lads.

regards Glynn
