2nd American Burgess Generation

I am naming the generations starting with the first American Burgess, Samuel.

Samuel and Eleanor's first born son, Joseph Burgess, was born in 1689 in Bucks County, Pennsylvania.

On July 3, 1718, Joseph married Hannah Wilson (born 1689). Joseph and Hannah had six children, Daniel Burgess, Joseph Burgess, Thomas Burgess, Sarah Burgess, John Burgess and Tacy Burgess. Joseph died in 1746 at the age of 57. Hannah is believed to have died sometime after 1752.

3rd American Burgess Generation

Our line continued on through Josesph and Hannah's child, Joseph. Joseph was born May 3, 1733. He married Deborah Fisher, who was born on January 5, 1733. Joseph and Deborah had six children, Jonathan Burgess, born May 20, 1760, Jesse Burgess born on October 3, 1762, Thomas Burgess born on March 21, 1764, John Burgess born on August 8, 1769, Daniel Burgess born on March 8, 1771 and Grace Burgess born on January 13, 1776 when Deborah was 43 years old.

Joseph Burgess died on October 21, 1811 at the age of 78. Deborah died June 27, 1822 at the age of 89.

4th American Burgess Generation

Our line continued through Thomas Burgess, the child of Joseph and Deborah. Thomas was born on March 21, 1764. Thomas married Elizabeth Hendricks who was born in November of 1769.

Thomas and Elizabeth had eight children. Elizabeth born September 26, 1801, Joseph born October 9, 1803, Jesse born November 8, 1805, Moses born on April 28, 1807, Mary born on February 1, 1809, Tacy born on September 5, 1811, Martha born on September 5, 1811, and John born October 13, 1813. Tacy and Martha were twins.

Thomas Burgess died on September 5, 1836 at age 72. Elizabeth's date of death is not known.

5th American Generation

Our line continued through Jesse Burgess, child of Thomas and Elizabeth. Jesse was born on November 8, 1805. On March 17, 1829 Jesse married Elizabeth Harvey who was born on February 11, 1811. Jesse and Elizabeth had five children. Mary Emily Burgess born January 10, 1830, Thomas born on July 17, 1833, Martha Ann born January 12, 1836, Mahala born March 16, 1839 and William H. Burgess born March 8, 1842.

I do not yet know the dates of death for Jesse or Elizabeth. Our line will continue through William Harvey Burgess. William Harvey Burgess is the first of the our line to make his home in the south.
