Does anyone know where the given name, Burrell/Burwell/Burl which first (?) appeared with the son of John the Loyalist in NC, came from? I have a friend whose family name is Burrell and they are from Middlesex and Glouchester Co. VA. They are African-American and at least part of the family have a heritage from free A-A's. She brought a book printed for a family reunion and she and I were speculating where their surname came from. Just an "enquiring mind" thing---- Jeanne Park

I have often wondered about the name myself as it occurs in my Anderson line starting in 1801 in GA, as far as I have been able to determine, and surviving until the death of my grandfather in 1970. I have assumed that it was more common in that place and time than it is today, but I only recall seeing it in my Anderson and Pace lines. One website claims that Burrell is "of Huguenot origin," and I will give that some credibility as my Andersons did intermarry with Huguenots. However, I have not found it in the one Huguenot line that I have examined in detail (Dumas).

The use of Burrell as a given name appears in the Stricklands in the mid-1700s. My Frederick Strickland had a son Burrell born about the 1770s but there were earlier Burrrell Stricklands too. Frederick lived in the Franklin Co./Wake Co. area of NC. I believe I have also seen the name used in other families as well around that time period, but I can't pull up the information at the moment.

Theory - Burrell Pace's father was John the Tori and his mother was Sarah Burgh. Could Sarah's father's first name have been Burrell also??
