Biography

Very little is known about Mary ____, the wife of John Burnham. According to Elizabeth Puckett Martin, [1] "We know nothing of her parentage." Martin even speculates that John Burnham may have had two different wives named Mary because of the 12 year gap between the births of his first two children,

  1. Mary Burnum jr. and
  2. John Burnum jr m. Sarah Graves and the three younger children,
  3. Josiah Burnham, m. Abigail Varney
  4. Anna Burnham, m. John Low, and
  5. Elisabeth Burnham, m. 1) Thomas Kinsman 2) Isaac Rindge
