I looked up your great, great grandfather, Col. James Burton, mainly because I found a very rare civil war artillery shell recently designed by him and produced by the armory he ran. This is called a Burton 3.4" prototype shell, and only 5-6 were ever known to exist, so I feel blessed. These were specially made by him using 3 old smooth bore guns that were reconditioned for the South. The guns were never found again, and only these shells remain as a testament to him. His shells were similar to the Dyer shell which it can be sometimes confused. I've looked for information about him and found very little so this was nice to read. Hello, this was very interesting.
