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.

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.

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.
