  Comments: Hello, I am a descendent of Grace Olive Trullinger, she was my great grandmother. I see that you have her grandson listed as unknown (my father) his name was James Galen Burton born June 6th 1926 to Florence Aitken and James G Burton(Diehl) and died March 27 2014. My fathers last name should have been Diehl as Graces first husband was Leo Kelley Diehl but they divorced and she remarried under the name Burton and the kids(James G and Clara) took on the Burton name. Any questions please let me know.
