• Notes

  The Burrs were of Fairfield. At the time Mary Ward was referred to as Mary Burr in her mother's will, 1665, the only unattached male Burr seems to have been this John. They appeared to have had no children. John Burr was a deputy for Fairfield at various times from 1666 to 1690. He was Capt in the Fairfield Trainband, Apr 1690; Commissary of Fairfield Co 1693, and Sergeant-Major, Fairfield Co, 1694. It is certain that about 1673, John Burr, near age 40, did marry Sarah Fitch, daughter of Thomas Fitch of Norwalk, and she was the mother of his ten children whose births were recorded at Fairfield. John's Will was dated 19 Mar 1693/4. It named wife Sarah, son John to be Executor and to receive the homelot; son Samuel to have the farm in the woods and four years in College; son Jonathan to have land in the new field; son David the homelot bought of John Cable. Daughter Mary to have 100£ at 18 or marriage; daughter Deborah the same. Daughter Sarah has already received her protion. Overseers to be brother Nathaniel Burr and cousin Peter Burr. He stated he had not received from his father Fitch, his wife's portion. Witnesses: John Edwards, Eliphalet Hill. Inventory of the estate was dated 5 Nov 1694.
