COPIED IN PART FROM THE MANUSCRIPT BY THE REV. ROBERT BURWELL. Revised 1908. By GEORGE H. BURWELL, and others. Of Millwood, Clarke County, Virginia. Whittet & SheJpperson, Printers. Richmond, Va. Record of the Burwell Family. The Burwell family is of very ancient date upon the borders of England and Scotland, particularly in that region known as the Eastern Marches. The name appears in various early records as Boralle, Borel, Burwell and Burr ell } in which last form it appears in the record of the reign of Richard III. At Berwick on the Tweed, the Burrells were settled as early as 1250. They are also mentioned as of the counties of Northumberland, Devon, Essex, Sussex and Kent, and in the form of Burwell, as of the counties of Essex and Suffolk. Robert Walpole, Earl of Oxford, and premier of England, and Horatio, Lord Nelson, were descendants of the Burwells through the female lines. The Antiquarian, Cole, says the family settled in Col- ton Hall in Buddington, Hoxen Hundred, by marriage with Durebough, and afterwards moved to Bougham, Theodester Hundred. The earliest mention of the Bur- well family in connection with the Colony of Virginia, is Edward Burwell, who was one of the grantees under the charter of 1607 from James I. The names of Minion and William Burwell also appear in the list of adven- turers for Virginia. The ancestor of the family in Virginia was Major Lewis Burwell, who settled about 1640 on Carter's Creek in Gloucester County, Virginia. In 1646 he was a mem- ber of the deputation sent to invite Charles II. to come to Virginia. He married Lucy, daughter of the valiant Cap- 4 Record of the Burwell Family. tain Higginson, one of the first commanders who subdued the country of Virginia from the power of the heathen. He died November ig, 1658, aged thirty-three years, and was buried at his seat, Fairfield, Gloucester County, Vir- ginia, (now and for many years, called Carter's Creek). The house was built of brick. In the old family burying-ground are the 'tombs of Major Burwell, his wife, and many others of the family. After his death, his widow married Colonel William Barnard, of the King's Council in Virginia. He died November 26, 1675. Mar- ried, third, Philip Ludwell, and left a son, Philip Ludwell. Philip Ludwell, husband of said Lucy, commanded Governor Berkeley's forces against Nathaniel Bacon. Of the issue of Major Lewis Burwell and Lucy Hig- ginson, there is record of only Major, the Honorable Lewis Burwell, of Queen's Creek, York County, Virginia, who married first, Abigail Smith (born in 1632, and died November 13, 1672), niece and heir of the Honorable Nathaniel Bacon, Senior, President of the Council, whose whole estates, which had been intended for his nephew, Nathaniel Bacon, the rebel, were bequeathed to her and her descendants. Honorable Lewis Burwell married, second, Martha, daughter of John Lear, Secretary of the Council. She died in 1704, and was the widow of Colonel William Cole, who died in 1694, in his fifty-sixth year, and was Secretary of the Council. A branch of the Burwell family settled in New Eng- land, John Burwell in Roxbury, Massachusetts, in 1633. The same name appears as a free planter in Milford, Connecticut, in 1632. He was from Hemel Hempstead, Hertfordshire, England; died in 1649. He left children BURWELL Record of the Burwell Family. 5 whose descendants are scattered through the West and Northwest. Another branch is found in Canada at Port Burwell, on Lake Erie, thought to be descendants of Major Lewis Burwell and Lucy Higginson. The ancestor of the Canada Burwells left Virginia in 1721. His name was John. His brother, James, was a British officer, wounded at the siege of Yorktown, and moved to Canada in 1783. The Burwells of Canada are descended from him. After the Revolutionary War he was rewarded by a large grant of land near Lake Erie. His great-grandson, Leonidas, was a member of the Canadian Parliament. KING'S CREEK PLAXTATIOX. In 1630 Captain John Utie patented this land, being one of the first to locate on York River. His son parted with his interest to Colonel William Tayloe, who gradu- ally secured much of the neck. He married Elizabeth Kingsmill, and she married, secondly, Colonel Xathaniel Bacon, Senior. During Bacon's Rebellion, the place was occupied by Major Thomas Whaley. with a band of Rebels, and a bloody battle ensued, in which Farrell. the leader of the Royalists, was killed. Here Sir William Berkeley, in 1677, first put foot to land after his banish- ment to the Eastern Shore by Xathaniel Bacon, Jr. At Colonel Bacon's death in 1694, the property passed to Lewis Burwell, who married his niece, Abigail Smith. About 1740, the whole tract between James River and York River was owned by the Burwells, from King's Creek to Queen's Creek, on the York, and from SkifFs Creek to Archer's Hope Creek on the James.

This beautiful and commodious old Virginia house is most eligibly situated on a farm of nearly seven hundred and fifty acres of some of the finest blue-grass lands in the historic Shenandoah Valley, with the village of Mill- wood, Clarke County, as one of its boundary lines. The selection of this lovely spot by Col. Nathaniel Burwell, third in descent of Major Lewis Burwdll, of "Carter's Creek/' Gloucester County, gives evidence of his good judgment and appreciation of nature's blessings in the picturesque surroundings in this fertile valley, with the Blue Ridge mountains extending gracefully along the Shenandoah River, but three or four miles distant. Here it was that Col. Nathaniel Burwell (2) erected this hand- some and comfortable stone residence about the year 1792, taking nearly eight years in which to construct and com- plete it, for the use of himself and his large family, who annually left their James River home, "Carter's Grove," to spend the summers in Clarke County. This was a part of the land of Robert Carter, known as "King Car- ter," whose daughter, Elizabeth, married Nathaniel Bur- well (1), son of Major Lewis Burwell, of Fairfield, or Carter's Creek, Gloucester County, Virginia. Record of the Burwell Family. 25 Carter Hall descended to George H. Burwell, (i), the seventh child, fourth son of Col. Nathaniel (2) and Lucy Page Baylor, his wife, he being the founder and builder, and was by George used in great comfort and style till his death in 1873. It then descended to his son, George H. Burwell (2), who now owns about six hundred and fifty acres of the Carter Hall farm upon which he lives in his more modern house, "Mount Airy," with all the ad- vantages of fertile and picturesque lands, mountain scenery and healthy atmosphere. At the base of these two sites is the grand old Carter Hall spring, covering an area of nearly an acre, with its never-ceasing copious flow of delightful limestone water, overshadowed by numerous majestic oaks, which, added to the number of the same, with walnut and other growths, make the famous grove, and the beautiful green lawn, consisting of over one hundred acres, producing the attractive sur- roundings of the "Carter Hall" house, the place where the late Bishops Meade and Atkinson, and other distin- guished kin, and friends of the Burwells, visited and spent many happy days. This grove was the camping ground and headquarters of "Stonewall" Jackson and others during the early and late campaigns of the war 1861-1865, General Jackson having moved his army from and around Winchester to Manassas and other points along the pike running from Winchester to Berry's Ferry, through Millwood, on the old road to Alexandria and Washington, the latter crossing the Blue Ridge Moun- tains at Ashby's Gap. Within a radius of three or four miles of Carter Hall are to be found "Greenway Court," the picturesque home of Lord Fairfax, with its old Office, (used by General Washington, for a time as Lord Fair- 26 Record of the Bur well Family. fax's engineer), and the White Post, to guide people to Green way Court.. There is also " Saratoga," with a large and beautiful spring at the base of its lovely site, and its fine old colonial stone house, built by General Morgan, with his Hessian prisoners, who carried the stone in hand-barrows four or more miles from the quarries near the Opequon. These and other homes make a charming neighborhood of many of the descendants of the Burwells, Pages, Car- ters, Randolphs, Nelsons, Lees and others, a number of whom moved from lower Virginia to this famous valley for health and pleasure. Carter Hall, with its nearby added farms, "Spout Run" and "The Island," were beautifully and most successfully conducted under the direction of Mr. George H. Bur well (i), who was always systematic and thorough in his methods, and produced large crops of corn, wheat, hay, etc., with splendid droves of fat cattle, sheep, and many magnificent thorough bred and other horses, in his productive blue-grass fields and lime-stone water. He was always cordial and hospitable in his treatment of all classes of visitors, and was never too busy to prove that he was a real type of the good old Virginia gentleman. He was one of the most loyal sons of Virginia, brave, true, honest and upright, always courteous and most generous. His noble traits and valu- able example are yet exerting their influence in his old community, and will do> so for years to come. This lovely old home, "Carter Hall," has never been out of the Burwell family till the past few years, when owned by Mr. Eben Richards, who has just reconveyed it to Mr. John Townsend Burwell (late of the U. S. N.), son of Mr. George H. Burwell (2), and grandson of Mr. George H. Burwell (1). Record of the Burwell .family. 27 Issue of Geo.

APPENDIX. The Atkinsons, Lees, and others of the old families who moved from lower Virginia to Clarke County, be- cause of marriages and intermarriages with the Burwells and other Clarke families, have thus been so closely re- lated that it is considered advisable to indicate in this the connections and relationship of those so nearly asso- ciated. Mrs. George H. Burwell, late of Carter Hall, was Miss Agnes Atkinson, of Mansfield, near Petersburg, Va., where she lived till married. Her sister, Miss Eliza Mayo Atkinson, of the same place, married Mr. William Byrd Page, of Pagebrook, Clarke County, Va., grandson of the last William Byrd, of Colonial period. These two sisters, and others below named, were descendants of William Mayo the first, of Poulshot, England ; his son, Major William Mayo (2d), also of Poulshot, left Eng- land about 1713, and with his brother, Joseph 2d., went to Barbadoes, thence to Virginia, in 1723. William located just above, and Joseph below, the site, or land, owned by their warm personal friend, Col. Wil- liam Byrd, on which, later, was founded the City of Rich- mond, which William, as a civil engineer, planned and laid off for his friend, Colonel Byrd, without charge. In 1726 Joseph erected, according to the old English style, the attractive and comfortable brick house on his 38 Record of the Burwell Family. place, on James River, and called it "Powhatan Seat," and it continued in the Mayo family for nearly one hun- dred and fifty years, though partially destroyed by fire, and rebuilt, practically on its old lines, in 1845, by Robert A. Mayo, with enlarged windows and handsomer interior. John Mayo, son of William 2nd, married Mary Tabb, of Gloucester County, Va. William (3rd), son of John, married Elizabeth, one of the seven daughters of Peter Poythress, who descended from Richard Bland and Governor Bennett, who was sent to Virginia by "The London Company" about 1610, because of his eminent fitness and of an article of great interest which he had written for "The London Com- pany." Robert Atkinson, of Mansfield, near Petersburg, Va., married Mary, the eldest daughter of William Mayo (3rd), of "Powhatan Seat," (Henrico County), which had descended from Joseph Mayo (2nd), to John, his nephew, and from John to his son, William the 3rd, and from William to Robert Atkinson Mayo, his son. Issue of Robert Atkinson and Mary Mayo, the eldest sister of the late Robert Atkinson Mayo: 1. Anne, who married Mr. Patterson. 2. Rev. William M. Atkinson, Presbyterian minister, father of Judge William M. Atkinson, of Win- chester, Virginia; Mrs. Rev. A. C.

Thomas N., who married Susan, daughter of -Dr. Robert Atkinson, of Baltimore, son of Bishop Atkinson. 2. Eliza N., who married John Woolfork, of Col- umbus, Georgia. 3. Evelyn Willing, who married William Turpin, of Macon, Georgia. John Townsend Burwell, (son of George H. Burwell), who has lately acquired the old homestead, Carter Hall, is the grand'son of Mr. Charles Lee, brother of Colonel Richard H. Lee, and also first cousin of General Robert E. Lee. As it has been impossible to include in this record the names of some of the collateral branches of the various families named, a number of blank pages have been left at the end 1 of this, for those who wish to do so, to; add such names and information as they desire, as to their respective branches, for their own uses. Among others entitled to thanks for information given, is Admiral W. T. Burwell, United States Navy. ADDENDA. To Hon. Lyon G. Tyler, President of William and Mary College, we are indebted for certain extracts from his "Williamsburg, The Old Colonial Capitol," on King's Creek Plantation, King's Mill, Cedar Grove, etc. The Coats-of-Arms of Burwell, opposite page 4, and of Mayo, opposite page 16, are enlargements of those on the Tablet opposite page 34, to the memory of the Bur- wells and Mayos who were members of the House of Burgesses. -5 Spotswood - Burwell Alexander Spotswood, Colonial Gov. of Virginia, born at Tangier Africa 1676.
