    Other Events and Attributes:

    • Probate: 9 Oct 1786

    Notes:

    In July 1740 George Burson was given a 'certificate of removal' by the Gwynnedd Meeting. This is probably when he moved to Loudoun County, though the document does not say where he was going. Over the next few months he sold his land, but he did not apply to join the Fairfax Meeting in Loudoun County until 30 April 1754. George both rented and owned land, including a 'plantation' on the North Branch of Cattacken (that is, Catoctin) Creek, which flows into the Potomac just across from Point of Rocks, Maryland.

    George married Sarah Cox on 9 Sep 1731 in Pennsylvania, USA. Sarah (daughter of Richard Cox and Margaret Potts) was born on 15 Dec 1715 in Kennet Township, Chester County, Pennsylvania, USA; died in 1786. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Generation: 2

  1. 2.  George Burson was born in Mar 1660; was christened on 3 Apr 1660 in Shipton-under-Wychwood, Oxfordshire, England, UK (son of William Burson and Alice Charles); died in cir 1716 in Gilberts Manor, Philadelphia County, Pennsylvania, USA.

    Notes:

    George Burson was evidently one of the 'Keithians,' followers of George Keith, a Scottish associate of William Penn who broke away from the 'orthodox' Quakers in 1692, but that may have happened after George had gone to Pennsylvania. This connection is confirmed by a few sketchy records that suggest he was expelled from the Abington monthly meeting but later re-admitted. One researcher (Wikitree) quotes an entry at Abington from March 1716, saying that a letter written by George was received, abjuring his connection with Keith. However, this was a few months after George had died.

    George Burson emigrated to America probably in 1684 and settled in Abingdon Township, now a northern suburb of Philadelphia. He is first mentioned there on 11 August 11 1685 when he witnessed a marriage. Among the other witnesses were Hannah Goud and Hugh Goud. This Hannah was probably his (future) wife, and Hugh was her father.

    Gilberts Manor, or the Manor of Gilberts, was in that part of Philadelphia County, Pennsylvania, that was later split off to form Montgomery County, Pennsylvania.
