"BURTON, WILLIAM. Private, Capt. Benjamin Plummer's co.; enlisted March 5, 1776; service to Sept. 6, 1776, 6 mos.; stationed at St. Georges."
[Note: the location of St. George would suggest this record (4 records for men named William Burton) belongs to this man, and it is represented as his by Source:Miller, Frank Burton. Soldiers and Sailors of the Plantation of Lower St. Georges Who Served in the War for American Independence, p. 22 (which in other details appears to have just copied from Eaton who is silent on military service).]
