_Burton Family_ (Vol. iv., p. 22.).--In Hunter's _History of
Hallamshire_, p. 236., is a pedigree of Burton of Royds Mill, near
Sheffield, in which are the following remarks:--
"Richard Burton of Tutbury, Staffordshire, died May 9th, 8 Henry
V. Married Maud, sister of Robert Gibson of Tutbury; and had a
son, Sir William Burton of Falde and Tutbury, Knight; slain at
Towtonfield, 1461, from whom descended the Burtons of Lindley."
"Thomas Burton of Fanshawgate, who died in 1643, left three sons;
Michael, Thomas, and Francis. Michael was of Mosborough, and had a
numerous issue; the names of his children appear on his monumental
brass in the chancel of the church at Eckington. Thomas, the
second son, was of London and Putney, married, and had issue.
Francis, the youngest, was lord of the Manor of Dronfield, and
served the office of High Sheriff of Derby in 1669. Was buried at
Dronfield in 1687."
I find no account of any Roger Burton; but if your correspondent E. H.
A. is not in possession of the above pedigree, and should wish for a
copy, I shall be glad to send him it.
