Burton Parish first established in 1765 as a Nova Scotia township: named for Brigadier General Ralph Burton who served at the capture of Fort Louisbourg in 1758 and the capture of Québec in 1759: Burton became a parish in New Brunswick in 1786: included part of Blissville Parish until 1834.
He was twice married: in 1750 to Elizabeth St Leger (died 1753), sister of Anthony St Leger after whom the famous horse race is named, then around 1763 to Marguerite Lydius; he had a son and a daughter by this second marriage.
