About Robert Burton
Robert Burton was an American farmer, Revolutionary War officer, and planter in what is now Vance County, North Carolina. He was a delegate from North Carolina to the Continental Congress in 1787. Between 1783 and 1815, the North Carolina General Assembly elected him to 13 one-year terms on the Council of State, which at the time was an official advisory panel that the legislature used to check the governor's power.
