Research Notes
From Olivia McCabe, 4 Oct 2020: "I have not been able to find any sources for either Burton or Margaret Leeson. Do you know where these profiles came from? At this time I would say evidence suggests that they do no belong to this family and should be disconnected from them."
Update - 5/22/2021 - Here is a theory: It may be that the name "Burton" came from Burton-upon-Trent, which is a town in Staffordshire. Perhaps this isn't his first name. There are several towns with "Burton" as part of the name in England. A record may have gotten confused as a first name. Fetterly-28 23:37, 22 May 2021 (UTC)
