Notes from Donald Dewey, 15 Nov 2009:
"Colonel George Sanford Burton was a surgeon in the Third Rhode Island Heavy Artillery during the Civil War. He lived in East Greenwich, Rhode Island in a family house at the corner of Post Road and Bay View Avenue. His only surviving daughter Georgie Burton Hazard was born in 1884, the year he died. She had no children. The Colonel's widow Sarah P. Remington Burton remarried a George Paine. Georgie Burton adored her father and detested Paine and resented her mother from then after.
"Georgie Sanford Burton went to East Greenwich Academy in East Greenwich and married the brother of my grandmother Bowdoin Frothingham Hazard of Shrewsbury, NJ. Georgie B. Hazard divorced Bowdoin in 1912 and went on to found a highly regarded school at 59 East Front Street in Red Bank, NJ, which was called Burton Hall. She operated the school until she had a stroke in 1963. She died at our house in Virginia in 1965 and is buried with her father in Warwick, R.I.
"Several of my mother's siblings and both my older sister and brother went to her school. I heard all the stories about Colonel Burton and have his saber and other items such as his marriage certificate that "Aunt Georgie" kept of her father's. She closed the school in the summer and lived up until her stroke in her father's house. Burton Hall had no grade levels - you graduated when she said you graduated - most of her pupils were accepted to Ivy League colleges and universities. The older pupils taught the younger pupils. Everyone learned Greek and Latin.
"Colonel Burton was married twice. A Daniel Hazard who lives in California is the descendent of Burton's first marriage."
