George Walton (Royal Navy officer)
Sir George Walton (1664/5 – 21 November 1739) was an officer in the Royal Navy during the late 17th and early 18th centuries, eventually rising to the rank of Admiral.
==Family and early life==
Much of the details of his early life are obscure, but it is known that he was born into a family from Little Burstead, Essex, England. He entered the navy and was commissioned lieutenant on 22 February 1690. His first assignment was to HMS ''Anne'', under Captain John Tyrell. Walton was present aboard the ''Anne'' at the allied defeat in the Battle of Beachy Head in May 1690, when the ''Anne'' was dismasted. Despite rigging up a jury jig, the ''Anne'' was unable to escape and was deliberately run ashore west of Rye where her crew abandoned and then burnt her to prevent her capture. Tyrell then received command of HMS ''Ossory'', taking Walton with him, and the two saw action in the Battle of Barfleur in 1692.
