The family Surname is Betton. They would have been free people of color. The family consisted of Kitty Betton and John Betton her son. however, there were probably others with them.

for one - dont keep your focus too narrow - or you may be totally missing records that you are looking for

Have you used the "SEARCH (historical records) of FS?

one thing I suggest are the US Census Records: - especially the 1850
