Thomas Burnham
right
Thomas Burnham (1619 – June 24, 1688) was born in England and migrated to the American Colonies sometime prior to 1645. He lived most of his adult live in Connecticut where he was a lawyer and a landowner. He was among the earliest puritan settlers in Connecticut, living in Podunk and finally settling in Hartford, Connecticut. He purchased most of the land covered by the current towns of South Windsor, Connecticut and East Hartford, Connecticut. He was the first American ancestor of a large number of Burnhams. He died in Hartford at the age of 69.
==Immigration to America==
The ancestry of Thomas Burnham and when he departed from England is a subject of ongoing debate. One of his decedents and author of his 1884 genealogy, Roderick Henry Burnham, believes that his family came from Hatfield, Herefordshire, England. Genealogists Cathy Soughton and Henry B. Hoff found evidence that he was baptized at Long Crendon in Buckinghamshire, England on 28 October 1619, the son of John Burnham, a yeoman farmer; however, genealogist Mary Pitkin uncovered flaws in this conclusion. A letter from one of his descendants states that he sailed for the Barbados from Gravesend in 1635. There is no surviving record of when Burnham arrived in America but he married Anna Wright ca. 1645 in Hartford, Connecticut.
