Robert Walton Burton
Robert initially came to the Valley with his wife in 1851. According to the Kaysville Ward manuscript history, he is seen on the trail again in the winter of 1856 as part of the effort to rescue the members of the Church stranded on the plains of Wyoming. The record actually makes note of a "Reuben Burton, but Robert's family were the only Burtons in the area, so that is likely a mistake.
