| Misc. Notes |
In Thomas Burgess's will dated 4 April 1684 in Sandwich, Barnstable County, Massachusetts, Jacob was named by Thomas to handle his estate.
His grave was honored by a monumental slab imported from England. "This was the only monument set up for any Pilgrim of the first generation." (Otis) The stones of Thomas and Dorothy were restored by descendants in 1917 and in 1994 were called "marvelouly legible." The cemetery is situated almost directly across the mill pond from the Thornton W. Burgess (Jr.) Museum.
The original deed for the Sandwich plantation was executed by Governor William Bradford 22 May 1651. It was ordered that four men: Goodman (Thomas) Tupper, Goodman (Thomas) Burgess, Senr., Nathaniel Willis, and William Gifford "shall have power to call a town meeting." |
