John  BURNHAM

Biography
Deacon John, son of Robert and Mary (Andrews) Burnham, was born 1618 in Norwich, and was seventeen years old when he came to Massachusetts. At nineteen he joined the Pequot expedition, for which the town granted him eight acres of land in 1639. He became an extensive landholder, and was a highly respected citizen. He was one of the original members of the church at Chebacco, organized August 12, 1683, and was one of its first deacons. August 13, 1694, the bounds of his property adjoining the common were settled by a committee appointed by the town, and it was found that he had not encroached as reported. He died November 5, 1694. His children were: John, Josiah, Ann and Elizabeth.
