  • Notes: 

  • Some published sources give Abraham Burrell's parents as John Burrell and Mary Humphrey. This is incorrect as that Abraham was born in 1721 and married Jane Dyer. Other sources claim it is Samuel Burrell and Hannah Huckins. Abraham Burrell's parentage should be considered unknown until evidence can be found to identify them.
