  Notes	"BURGESS GENEALOGY" The origin of the name of Burgess will not admit of controversy. It is a title , civil or official. The inhabitant or representative of a Burgh or Borough is a Burgess. In England, the orthography of the name is well preserved , both in Church and State, and may easily be traced back for three or four centuries; but in this county (USA) it has been corrupted into Burghess, Burges, Burgis, Borgis, Burge, Burg. The ancestral line of Thomas in England and the date of his migration to this country (USA) , cannot yet be ascertained with full confidence. It appears that he arrived in Salem with a young family not far from 1630, and lodged for a time at Lynn. A section of land was assigned to him, in that part of Plymouth called Duxbury, July 3, 1637. This section of land, being forfeited by his removal to Sandwich in the same year, was assigned to Nicholas Robbins, November 5, 1638, who made to the former occupant some remuneration for fences and culture. In the settlement of Sandwich, Thomas Burgess became associated with Edmund Freeman, Henry Feake, Richard Chadwell, William Almy, Thomas Tupper, William Wood, Edward Dillingham, John Carman, George Knott, and Thomas Dexter." "He was," says Dr. Savage,"a chief man of them" "In the Church, instituted in 1638, under the pastoral care of William Leverich, he was an original member. In process of time he became a large landholder, and with advancing age he was called Goodman Burgess. He served the town in every office, humble or honorable, from road-surveyor to deputy to the Court at Plymouth, forseveral successive years. There is a charm in the fact that the patriarchal estate has never been alienated from the family. Benjamin,--the founder of the commercial house of Benjamin Burgess & Sons, Boston, --a lineal descendant of the sixth generation, held it in his possession, and in 1863, could point out the old cellar in which Thomas stored his fruits, and the bubbling fountain from which he drank for forty-eight years,--dying, February 13, 1685, aged eighty-two years. His grave was honored with a monumental slab, imported from England." "This was the only monument," says Amos Otis, Esq., " set up for any pilgrim of the first generation." " Dorothy, his wife, died Feb.27,1687
