Surnames: Burton/Cook/McDonald Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/SOC.2ACE/1278.2.2 Message Board Post: I was in touch in the past with a great grandson of Tiimothy Burton who still lives on Sissaboo RD. That is the road that runs from Bear River to Weymouth, and on that road is South Range and Weymouth Mills. He named the children of Timothy and Emmaline MacDonald (of Yarmouth Co.) as: John, Lester, Charles, Roswell and Angelina. My children's great grandfather was Harding Cook who married Timothy's dau. Angelina Phebe. The 1881 census shows that living withTimothy was Emiline age 44, Charles 14, and William, 8. Is Wiilliam actually Roswell? I have a newspaper photo and obituary for Henry Burton, son of Roswell and Annie Thiebault. I found it odd that a Roswell Noble Burton, born NY abt. 1818, (son of a Roswell Burton, born abt. 1794 in RI) named some of his children: Charles, Lester and Roswell. There may be a connection. I think Charles, George and Robert McDonald who are in the 1871, 1881 census for Digby Co..may be relatives of Emmaline, as they used the same names a! s did children of Emmaline.
