Notes

1 There were two John Burtons and not believed to be related.

An additional column ‘Occasional Remarks’ is not included here but relevant entries for the above names are as follows:-

2 ‘Because he belongs to the Revenue Cutter and has deputation.’

3 ‘Because only taxed to the last Book and slept but one night in the house.’

4 ‘As being a Certificate Man.’

5 ‘Having a deputation in the Customs.’
