Did you notice that there is an entry for a William Braunton born in Bucklandbrewer in 1840 on the Ancestral File. Seems likely to have been a relative of your ancester as I assume Bucklandbrewer was pretty small in the mid 19th century. My grandfather was also a William Braunton, and would have been born in about the 1860s, probably in Bideford which is close to Barnstable. My mother told me that the name had been spelled Branton in her memory, but at her older brother's initiative the family changed spelling to add the "u".
