1.   Richard BURMAN
Bap 20 Jan 1749 at Tanworth, Warwick (ref IGI).
Marr 11 May 1779 in Solihull Church, Warwick to Ann WHERRETT (ref IGI). She may have previously had the name STEEN (ref MFT).

Mentioned in his father's Will c1781 from which he received the old Kemp's Green property, including five closes which had been settled on his mother, to whom he was to pay an annuity of £20 in lieu of rents (with the death of Richard the Kemp's Green property at last departed from the family).
.
Richard died 1823, buried 1823 at Tanworth Church (ref MFT).
Ann's death: Tanworth Church monument (Monkspath family) "Sacred to the memory of Ann, wife of Richard Burman, Gent., who departed this life January 5, 1808, aged 57 years." (ref R.H.Burman monograph)
Richard's death: Tanworth Churchyard monument: (Monkspath family) "To the memory of Richard Burman, Gent., who died May 20, 1823, aged 74 years." (ref R.H.Burman monograph)

Richard was a Churchwarden in 1781 of Solihull Church, and Churchwarden 1787 to 1790 of Tanworth Church.
He purchased the estate at Monkspath in 1775, presumably with funds furnished by his father. He took up his abode at his newly built house, Monkspath Hall, where he carried on the flax growing and wick-yarn making which had proved so profitable to his relatives, the Insulls. His house lay on the outskirts of Solihull parish, and he may have owned land there in right of his wife. After he died Monkspath Hall passed to his eldest and only married daughter, Mary Lowe.

In John's Will a distribution of his property was made to his children and grandchildren, see later. The widow, in addition to an annuity of £50 from Isaac's portion, received £20 to purchase her mourning, and all her late husbands 'goods, furniture, cloaths, and linen' for her life, after which they were to go to Isaac. (ref MFT).
After their marriage in 1778 John and Esther settled at Monkspath, probably at Madam's Hill, a property which seems to have been purchased by the bridegroom's father as a marriage portion for his son. Here they remained until Richard Insull died in 1783, which event meant a great improvement in their circumstances. They moved to Light Hall. They lived at Light Hall, Tanworth 1783 to 1808. In 1808 the son John married, and his father settled on him Light Hall and Madam's Hill. John and Esther moved to Aspley House, a house which he built in the parish of Wootton Wawen near Tanworth Village.
John was a churchwarden 1785 to 1786 at Tanworth. He was one of the founders of the Tanworth Association for the Prosecution of Felons 1784.
John Burman became "Squire" Burman. For generations the Burmans had been landowners, but had ranked only as yeomen. Now they rose from "gentleman" to "esquire", the two John Burmans of Light Hall being always so described in the parish records. (ref MFT)
At the height of his prosperity he founded a private bank, and a branch was established in a large building in Tanworth village. (ref MFT)

Mentioned in his father' Johns Will c1781 in which he received a farm at Tanworth in the tenure of Robert Taylor. In addition, Thomas received all the stock 'in or upon or belonging to both and each of the farms I now rent, one of which farms is now in my own occupation, and the other in the occupation of my son Thomas'. Thomas also got the residue, and the probability is that John Burman had done more for his two elder sons during his lifetime than he had done for his youngest, who had always remained under his father's supervision.
