    1. Re: Burdett, Humphrey, Jarvis & Wm.
    2. I do not know if this will help or not but here it is. From a book on the Newman family of Virginia. pg. 2 paragraph 3 by author Preston Newman. "The Boogher source cited in this writing evidences that Thomas Newman was married ca 1648-1650 in Virginia to Elizabeth Burdett (Burditt in some early records), the daughter of Henry Burdett, Sr. The will of Henry Burdett, Sr. was proved in Richmond County, VA. in 1695, with Thomas Newman identified as the executor and as a legatee. It is believed Henry Burdett, Sr. was the son of William Burdett, who had a presence in Accowmack County on the Eastern shore, an original shire or county created in 1634, to be renamed Northampton in 1643, and from which Accomack County was created in 1663. William Burdett accumulated vast acreage in both Northampton and Accomack counties. He was deceased by 1657, according to a deed drawn by John Custis on 8 October 1657 in Northampton County, for 200 acres of land, "adjoining William Burdett, deceased". Thomas Burdett in 1658 in Northampton Co. VA. acquired by conveyance 1050 acres of land "by virtue of rights of a patent granted unto his father, William Burdett, conveying the same quantity and by him deserted", all according to Nugent's "Cavaliers and Pioneers, Volume I", page 363".
