Benjamin Burton of Warwick and Susanna Richardson of Woburn, Aug. 23, 1770.
- ↑ Allred only lists two children in this family, and no origin or marriage for the parents. In 1790 (line 4, left column), they are living in Warwick with 1 adult male, 1 young male and 6 females. In 1800 (7th from bottom) they are living in Northfield. So they appear to have stayed in the area and had more children than mentioned in Allred. Source:Blake, Jonathan. History of the Town of Warwick, Massachusetts has no mention of them.
- ↑ In scanning the Richardson Memorial, no mention is made of this Susanna. Using what is found there to rule out various Susannah's, an unaccounted birth shows up in Cambridge, b. 2 May 1751 to Abiel and Sarah. As described in NEHGR, p. 100:129, Vinton hopelessly confused two men named Abiel Richardson who both had wives named Sarah. But even in straightening out the two families, this article merely lists Susannah in this family, but gives her no marriage or other outcome. However, she seems a likely candidate. Apparently after her father drowned in 1765 in Nova Scotia, the family seems to have returned to Massachusetts, as the older sister Sarah married in Woburn in 1769. The choice of the name Sally, probably after either Sarah her mother, or perhaps Sarah her sister, would be typical, as well. It is too bad that we don't seem to have the names of more children to further test this.
- ↑ The only Benjamin Burton that seems to show up in the records is born in Middleton, 11 Jul 1744, to Samuel Burton and Ruth Kenney. The birth is noted in Source:Robertson, Florance Alice Loveless Keeney. Genealogy of Henry and Ann Kinne : Pioneers of Salem, Massachusetts, but nothing further is given. That his father moved from Middleton to Woburn, where he stayed until 1765 when he moved to Warwick, and his brother Isaac is also found in Woburn (Burlington), explains why Benjamin of Warwick would marry a girl from Woburn, making it likely it was the Benjamin Burton b. Middleton 1744 that married Susanna Richardson.
