Introduction
Burman ~ First Generation
| 1. | Rychard
BOREMAN / Richard BURMAN Married Agnes, surname unknown. Richard BOREMAN died 1538. His will is dated 20 Feb 1538 at Stratford-upon-Avon, England. It was proved in September 1538 at Stratford. He was living in the town of Shotrey in the parish of Stratford-upon-Avon. He left goods to Roger his son, Agnes his daughter, Margett his daughter, and his wife Agnes. The Will was witnessed by Richard Burman who may have been a nephew of the deceased according to the main source, "The Burman Chronicle (The Story of a Warwickshire Family)" by John Burman, 1940. "In the name of God amen the xx day of february in the yere of oure lorde god a thousand fyve hondreth and xxxviij I rychard boreman of the towne of shotrey within the parysh of Stratford apon haven in the dyoses of vussetter beyng hoole and perfyte of memorye make and orden thys my last testament in manner and fourme foloying fyrst and princypally consyderying my dutye I bequeth my sowle unto almighty god who shedde hys precyous blode for me and all mankynd and my body also to be buryed within the church yorde of Stratford aforesaid also I bequethe to Roger my sonne one blacke horse one cart with all such gayre as longyth yerto also one plowe with all yerto also I bequeth to agnes my doughzter halfe one akar of berly also I bequeth to Margett my doughzter halfe on akar of whete and halfe one akar of berly the rest of my godes my dettes payd I gyffe to my wyfe agnes boreman who I my full executrix to do with ytt accordying to hyr dyscretyon this beyng wytnes John Payne Curate Rye boreman John Shereffe with others.

On page 3, I mention a Richard Burman and a Stephen Burman who were probably born around 1530, and so would be one generation past that Richard Burman just mentioned.
