• It is our theory that John Burwell (B. 1695 - D. 1763) who married Agnes Lee was a son of Lewis Burwell and Martha Lear Cole. It is on this John, that I will spend some time trying to locate documentation. Many others have gone before me unsuccessful in "proving" the theory, but agree with it. Since my Uncle Clark believes this to be true, I would really like to try to prove it. If anyone has any information either supporting this theory or discrediting it, I would really appreciate hearing from you.
