    • _MILT: Lieut.

    Notes:

    Lieutenant John Burbank was born in Rowley, Mass., Sept. 27, 1699. He came from Bradford, Mass., to Arundel, now Kennebunkport, Maine, in about 1722 to '25, as he was a proprietor in 1726 at Arundel. He was a mill-man, and called "gentleman". He engaged in the coast-wise trade; owned several ships; lost one ship on her first voyage to Halifax in 1750. He was with William Pepperell at the capture of Louisburg in 1745, and was a lieutenant. It is stated that he was prominent in both business and social affairs.

    He married, first, Priscilla, daughter of Benjamin and Hannah (Bailey) Major, of Arundel. Bradbury states that Priscilla died Nov. 2, 1730, aged 31 years, which must be a mistake as to year or age, as Newbury, Mass., vital records show she was born Nov. 8, 1704. The error appears to be in date of her death -- she would have been 31 in 1735. (The ancestry of her father, Benjamin Major, is unknown, but he may have been one of the two Benjamins shown by the Salem records, either the son of M-- Mazury, baptized Aug. --, 1676, or the son of Benjamin and Margaret (Row) Mazure, baptized July 6, 1679.) He married, second, Hannah, daughter of Samuel Hutchins, of Arundel, and widow of George Perkins, as shown by her father's will made in 1742 and by York deeds, Vol. 29, p. 252. George Perkins and Hannah Hutchins were married June 7, 1733 (Wells, Maine, records), and George was living May 12, 1735, when his father deeded him land, so the Burbank-Perkins marriage must have occurred after that date. (Dates at Arundel-Kennebunk-port are hard to find.)

    Deed: John Burbank of Arundel, Gentleman, and Hannah, his wife, formerly widow of George Perkins of Arundel, yeoman in right of said Hannah, for 14 pounds to Gideon Walker of Arundel, tanner, 60 acres formerly of the estate of Thomas Perkins of said Arundel, 17 Oct. 1752.

    John Burbank is described in other York County deeds as follows: in 1729 "fisherman", 1734 and 1737 "mill man", in 1723 had a garrison near site later occupied by an old meeting house, built 1760, on "Burbank Hill".

    One writer says, "The Arundel man was undoubtedly the John Burbank born Sept. 27, 1699, son of Caleb and Hannah (Acey) Burbank, although where to find proof of his parentage I do not know." Genealogists in general agree that the above statement is true, and although there may be lacking positive proof there is much good evidence of his identity -- enough to remove all doubt.

    No record is found of the date of his death or the settlement of his estate.

    The exact date of the birth of none of his thirteen children is found, but it is known that his son John was born in the year 1752.
