Ryder Burton
Royal Navy Admiral (1795–1876)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Admiral James Ryder Burton, KH (1795 – 2 August 1876) was a British Royal Navy officer.
He was the son of Edmund Burton, the Dean of Killala.[1]
He progressed on the Reserved List to the rank of Admiral on 14 November 1863.[2]
In 1823, he married Anne Maria Plunkett, the widow of Philip Roche of Dublin and youngest daughter of Randal Plunkett, 13th Baron of Dunsany (1739–1821).[1]
He was believed by some to be an heir to an old baronetcy in the Baronetage of England that was possibly dormant, but he did not pursue inheriting it.[3]
