Individual Details
Noel Burton
(Ca 1729 - May 1769)
Most of the data on the Burton, Pass, Richardson, etc. families was found on RootsWeb's WorldConnect. "Burton and allied families" Updated 7 Dec 2009.
Noel's parents believed to be Robert Burton and Prixcilla Farrar.
He was likely planning to move to North Carolina when he died - his children did so. This tract likely within the bounds of what would become Caswell County. His son Robert may have been the first to make the move to North Carolina as he was present for the proving of this deed.
