JOHN BURBANK, immigrant to America, was probably b. c1611 in England; d. 1682/83 in Rowley MA as his will was approved 10 Apr 1683. There is no identifiable gravesite as all early Rowley graves were at first marked by only a simple oak slab as was customary at that time but without a doubt he lies in the Rowley Burial Ground marked as the site of nearly all the original settlers.
John married (1) Joane JORDEN (Jordan) known as Ann, b. c1619 England, d. before 1643; (2) Jemima, b. ?, d. 24 Mar 1692/3.
It is speculated that John and his first wife, Joane, were servants of George Hadborne, a glover of Stepney Parish, Middlesex, England. They came to America in the ship, Abigail, in 1635, living with the Hadborne family briefly in Charlestown MA and probably later in Hampton (NH) until their indebtedness for the ship's passage was satisfied.
Attempts to connect John with the Burbanks of Greystoke in Cumbria, England, cannot be proved. Those making such a relationship should read Dibble, William B., "John1 and Anne Burbank: A Suggested Identity," New England Historic and Genealogical Register, (October 1940), 94:393-394.
John's will was dated 5 Apr 1681 and proved 10 April 1683. He had five children, two by his first wife and three by his second:
John b. 1640 or 42
Timothy, b. 18 May 1641, buried 14 Jul 1660
Lydia, b. 7 Apr 1644, married Abraham Foster
Caleb, b. 19 May 1646
Mary, b. 19 May 1655, buried 12 Jul 1660
Married first to Ann Jordan. With this union came two children. Second marriage to Jemima Unknown in 1643 in Rowley, Essex, MA. With this union, three children.
John sailed to America on the ship "Abigail" in 1635 arriving in Salem, MA. He moved to Charlestown, which is now part of Boston, MA. John was servant to a glove-maker who paid for John's passage.
Owned the seventh lot on Bradford Street in 1643, being one of the first 40 families in "Rogers Plantation." This area is now Rowley, Essex Co., MA.
"To John Burbank, one lott containinge an acree and an halfe, bounded on the south side by Thomas Sumner's house lott, part of it lyinge on the west side, and part of it on the east side of the streete"
Owned some fresh meadow on Plum Island in 1672.
On 13 May took freeman's oath at meeting of the General Court.
