George W. Burton's enclosed family plot bears the nameplate:
George W. Burton. The top of the plate has an hour glass, (which represents the ended span of life of many whose graves have long since disappeared within the enclosed area), over which there is an arch of oak leaves and acorns. The plot measures 7'x9' with iron posts at the four corners. Draped and crossed are chains of 1 1/2" links-from the center of which is a medallion supporting a 5" iron tassel. Of the 9 originally placed, only 3 tassels remain. Rust is destroying this beautiful iron work.

Burtons of Lewes, Delaware, past and present are connections to the Rodney Family(famous line of Delaware Statesmen).
