 Burton, Walter
It seems the Burtons' may have come to Nova Scotia in the early 1780's, most probably as political refugees from the east coast of America after having having either fought for or supported the losing British side at the Revolution.
If this thinking is correct then William Burton who died in 1882 for whom there is a Hants County probate, could still have been a brother of Walter Burton of Windsor, the only difference being that the two were sons of Ambrose Burton instead of William the pump maker.
This scenario would still accord with the Nova Scotian Burton family legend of three brothers having come to Nova Scotia of whom one settled in Shelburne and one in Hants - the Shelburne one being William the pump maker and their actually having perhaps been two - Ambrose and John who settled in Hants.
