Ambrose Brampton Burbank was one of the children born to Eleazer Burbank, Sr. and his wife Mary Brackett.
Ambrose left Belgrade as a young man to work in Henderson, Kentucky in the tobacco business with his brother, David Redman Burbank. He then relocated to New York where he was in the business of floating grain in flatbeds down the Mississippi River to New Orleans, Louisiana. Ambrose's obituary published in the New York Times on January 18, 1904 noted that he had acquired a considerable fortune from his business ventures.
Ambrose lived in New York for 25 years. He never married or had any children.
Ambrose was being cared for by his nephews, Caleb Ambrose Burbank and Samuel Morse Burbank, according to newspaper reports. Upon his passing, the bulk of Ambrose's million dollar estate went given to Caleb, as noted in his will, with money given to Samuel and a few other nephews. The nieces and nephews not mentioned in Ambrose's will, filed a lawsuit claiming that there was a second will that Ambrose had filed after his first will naming a different set of beneficiaries. The lawsuit went on for many years after his death.
