Col. William Burgess

Abt 1622 - 1686  (~ 64 years)

• Name	William Burgess  [1, 2, 3, 4]
  Prefix	Col.
  Relationship	with Gustave Jean Baptiste Pitard
  Born	Abt 1622	Truro, Cornwall, England
  The plaque at All Hallows names his birthplace as "Truro, Wales," but there is no Truro in Wales. This must mean Cornwall, which is what I assume here.
  Gender	Male
  Died	24 Jan 1686	Anne Arundel Co., Maryland
  Buried	All Hallows Church, Birdsville, Anne Arundel Co., Maryland   [5, 6]

  Notes	A member of the General Assembly representing Anne Arundel Co. in the 1660s. Will probated 19 Feb. 1686/87. The problem with saying that he was born in Truro, Wales, as it says on the sign outside of All Hallows’ church, is that Truro is in Cornwall?
