Biography
Most researchers have Sarah Elizabeth Tanner to be John's wife. He doesn't name her in his will. Sarah is the 5th great grandmother of Carol Baker.
Sources
John Burton [7120.2.2.3.7] (-1799), called “ye younger” to distinguish him from his father John Burton Jr. who lived to 1746 and his grandfather of the same name who lived to 1756. John received a shilling in the will of his father as he had already been given land. In 1756 John bought from Christopher Robertson the 184 acres that had belonged to his brother Joseph Burton. He acquired also land that his brother Caleb inherited but disposed of the land he inherited from Caleb Ware. In 1767 Henry Baker sold Burton 100 acres next to his own land and the county line. John Burton was head of a household of six whites and eight blacks in Chesterfield County in 1783. John Burton died in Chesterfield County (will dated 2 June 1799 , recorded 14 Oct. 1799 ). His wife was alive when he made his will but he did not name her.

Could you add your source for her name being "Sarah Elizabeth" and daughter of Lodowick?
Source for Sarah m Jones in 1746 being Lodowick's daughter is the JSTOR article - normally not considered a reliable source, but Torrence cited the marriage bond (dated February 20, 1746, issued in Amelia County)... at least that's implied to how I did the citation; I couldn't access the article with I went to double-check today (I used to have unlimited access to JSTOR articles but I don't anymore).
