_Burton Family_ (Vol. iv., pp. 22. 124.).--In connexion with a Query which
was kindly noticed by MR. ALGOR of Sheffield, who did not however
communicate anything new to me, I would ask who was Samuel Burton, Esq.,
formerly Sheriff of Derbyshire; whose death at Sevenoaks, in October, 1750,
I find recorded in the Obituary of the _Gentleman's Magazine_ for that
year? I am also desirous to ascertain who was Sir Francis Cavendish Burton
of St. Helens, whose daughter and heiress, Martha, married Richard Sikes,
Esq., ancestor of the Sikes's of the Chauntry House near Newark. She died
since 1696. Both Samuel Burton and Mrs. Sikes were related to the Burtons
of Kilburn, in the parish of Horsley, near Derby, to whom my former Query
referred.
