Anson Burlingame (November 14, 1820 – February 23, 1870) was an American lawyer, legislator, and diplomat, born in New Berlin, Chenango County, New York. In 1823 his parents (Joel Burlingame and Freelove Angell) took him to Ohio, and about ten years afterwards to Michigan. Between 1838 and 1841 he studied at the Detroit branch of the University of Michigan, and in 1846 graduated from Harvard Law School. On June 3, 1847 he married Jane Cornelia Livermore. They had sons Edward Livermore Burlingame (born 1848) and Walter Angell Burlingame (born 1852), as well as a daughter Gertrude Burlingame (born 1856).

The original spelling of Burlingame in many older records is Burlinggame.

From Susan Holton Phillip's manuscript regarding Joel Burlingame’s first trip to California in 1849: "just before he started for California ... In eighteen-forty-nine gold fever raged. He with the others caught the contagion.

"Started the lst of April for the Eldorado of the West with his brother Hiram, Edward Pheteplace and Richard Ness, armed and equipped with all things necessary for crossing the plains ...

"We received letters every week until they left the settlements. Then, oh the weary days in waiting for news from the absent ones. One letter from Fort Jarina (sp?). Did not hear again until one dated January 9, 1850 reached us March 1850. They were then at the head waters of Yuba River.

"Soon after leaving Salt Lake he lost his journal which he had been very particular to keep daily events in to send home for our perusal ... I have never seen but one of the number that left us April 5, 1849 ... Uncle Hiram started for home in 1851 but was drowned while crossing Lake Nicaragua.

Father returned in '52 after Mother. But [because of] his business he could not stay long enough for all to get ready. Mother and he both concluded to have him return and the next year they would take the overland route ... He stayed there until the spring of 1853 when he again visited the States."

On the 1853 trip, from the Burlingamesketch:

An obituary of the Rev. Justus Michael Hinman, Joel Burlingame's son-in-law and one of those who returned with him in 1853, states that the party arrived in Marysville 2 Nov 1853, and in an autobiographical sketch written by Hinman's daughter, Lillian Hinman Shuey, she tells us that Burlingame was the party's leader. Since Susan Phillips, as we have seen, did not go, the next decade of the life of her father is quite cursorily covered in her narrative.

From the sketch of Justus Michael Hinman (1813-1896): Joel Burlingame, Hinman's father-in-law, returned from California for his family in the spring of 1853, and the party he led back to California, included the Hinmans. Lillian Hinman later came to be a well-known California poet, and in a fragment of autobiography now in the manuscript collection of the California State Library in Sacramento she notes that "When I was a months [sic] old my parents broke up housekeeping to come to California [therefore in late April or early May 1853]. We came overland across the plains. My grandfather, Joel Burlingame, was captain of the train. When I was 3 month old we crossed the Missouri River and came into Marysville when I was 8 months old." Mr. Gober in his obituary gives the precise date on which the party arrived in Marysville, Yuba County, as 2 Nov 1853, “where he worked at his trade until 1857.”

He was one of six Oregon delegates to the 1860 Republican convention that nominated Abraham Lincoln.

Joel Burlingame is the father of the Honorable Anson Burlingame Congressman from Massachusetts, then appointed Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary to the Qing Empire (China) by Abraham Lincoln on June 14, 1861

Married 20 May 1819 in New Berlin, Chenango, New York by Rev. J. Rogers of the M.E.Church.
