Carolyn, Actually, the dates of birth of James and Burwell were 15 years apart. I have several ancestry lines that show fathers 14 and 15 years apart, due to the common age of marriage back then being in the mid to late teens. Some women were even married at the age of 12 and 13 and having children. But I suspect Thomas being the name of Burwell's father. Will let you know if I find anything. Sheila
