		Issue of Richard Boreman/Burman and Agnes
1.		Roger BURMAN Of Shottery in the parish of Stratford-upon-Avon, husbandman. Mentioned in his father's Will in 1538. "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" Married Alice, surname unknown. Roger died 1590/91 and was said to be an old man. His will is dated 15 Jan 1590/91 and and is on the internet in the Morgan Family Tree on Ancestry. It names his son in law John Smart (unknown connection), Alice his wife, Thomas his son and his children, his daughter Philip Carver and her children, his daughter Anne Pace and Thomas Smart, He was buried in Stratford Churchyard 22 Jan 1590/91 at Stratford-upon-Avon, England (ref Ancestry Warwick records). After his death his goods were valued by another relative, Stephen Burman, and the Will was 'supervised' by Richard Burman and John Pace. Alice was mentioned in Roger's will in 1538 to inherit the residue and as sole executrix. Alice was buried 13 Jun 1608 at Stratford-upon-Avon; 'Alice Burman, wydowe de Shottre' (ref Ancestry Warwick records). There is a mention of Bartholomew Hathaway, son of Richard (Shakespeare's father-in-law) valuing her effects. (Ref Burman Chronicles) Roger's Will written 15 Jan 1590/91 is as follows: "The will of Roger Burman of Shottery in the parish of Stratford-upon-Avon, husbandman. I bequeath my soul to Almighty God and my body to be buried in Stratford Churchyard. To my son in law John Smart £6 13s. 4d. either in money or cattle at the discretion of my overseers. My whole team to remain equally between Alice my wife and Thomas my son. To my daughter Phillip Carver 20s. in money. To the children of my son Thomas every one of them a sheep each. To Thomas Smart two sheep. To my daughter Phillip Carver's children a quarter of barley each to be paid to them at the next harvst after my decease, to my said daughter Phillip a land of wheat at the next harvest. To my daughter Annes Pace widow a yearling calf. To my son Thomas one of my iron bound cards. Residue to Alice, his [presumably my] wife, sole executrix." (Ref Burman Chronicles) There is a marriage on 23 Nov 1596 at Stratford on Avon of John Smart & Jone Burman, but the date appears too late as it occurred well after the will was written (ref Ancestry Warwick records). After his death his goods were valued by Stephen Burman and Fulke Sandells in the following words: "He had corn and hay in his barn in 1591 worth £10, 29 lands sown with wheat, 18 with peas, 23 sheep (£5), 5 kine, a heifer, and three calves (£8), 3 horses, a mare, and 2 colts (£8, with harness). His hall was bright with brass and copper and pewter, including 7 candlesticks, a basin, and that indispensable feature of a well-filled farmhouse table - parting the family at the upper end from the 'hands' at the lower end - a handsome 'salt'. In his chamber were 4 painted cloths; in the kitchen roof 5 flitches of bacon. So we learn from his inventory made by Stephen Burman and Fulke Sandells. His will was written by Sir William Gilbert alias Higges, minister in Stratford (as distinguished from the 'preacher', the vicar, John Bramhall), witnessed by the above Stephen Burman, and 'supervised' by the testator's 'trusty friends'(to each of whom he left a memorial shilling, a sliver piece worth about 12s. now),Richard Burman and John Pace. [Value £53.]" (ref "Shakespeare's Haunts near Stratford" by E.I.Fripp. FROM WHOM FRED SHADE IS DESCENDED.
