Lineage.
|

The Burrells are of very ancient date upon the borders of England and Scotland, particularly in that district formerly known by the name of the East Marches; their names occur in various records of the times and in family muniments, as Boraille, Borell, Burwell, but now generally Burrell.

On the 11th August, 9 RICHARD II. (A.D. 1385,) at Neubotilwode, (a place on the borders,) the king grants to his "leige Johannes Boraille de Tevydale," all the lands with the appurtenances which belonged to John Ker, in Altonburne and Neysebit, in Tevydale, and all the lands with the appurtenances which belonged to John de Aynslee and William Hessewell, in Doulfineston and Edeleshevid, in Tevydale aforesaid, and which on account of their adhering to the king's enemies of Scotland had been confiscated, to hold to the said John Boraille and his heirs for ever, without any payment. (2 Rot. Scot. 75.)

In the same year, 9 RICHARD II. the same

*

John Burrell and Johannes de Budthorpe, gave to Thomas Strother one half of West Newton, in the parish of Kirknewton. (Hodgson's MSS.)

The Burrells, of the town or vill of Howtell, in the parish of Kirknewton, were an old family in this parish, and were the same as the Burrells of Milfield, in that parish, from whom Mr. Burrell is lineally descended; they both used the "Burrell porch," in Kirknewton church, as their common burial place.

The town of Berwick-upon-Tweed, the chief town connected with East Marches, was the principal place of residence of the Burrells; and they have been found to be settled there so early as the year 1250.

It is difficult, at this distance of time, to trace the connection between the family of Broomepark and that of Lord Willoughby de Eresby, (whose surname is Burrell,) and Sir Charles Burrell, but that they are of the same lineage there can be little doubt.

By Frances Herne, his wife, daughter of John Bettesworth, esq. of Carhayes, who was son of John Bettesworth, LL.D, by Frances, his wife, one of the two sisters and co-heirs of William Trevanion, of Carhays, in Cornwall, M.P. for Tregony, the other having married Admiral Bryon, the grandfather of Lord Bryon, the poet. John Trevanion Purnel Bettesworth Trevanion, the cousin of Mrs. Bryan Burrell, eldest son of John Bettesworth, took the name and arms of Trevanion, by sign manual in 1801, and is the present immediate representative of that ancient family, and possessor of Carhayes. (See vol. i. p. 253)..

In Cuckfield church, in Kent, there are numerous monuments to the memory of the ancestors of Lord Willoughby, and upon the oldest of them is the following inscription:

"Gerrard Burrell, D.D. Archdeacon and Residentiary of Chichester, settled at Cuckfield, 1446, died April, 1508. He was the youngest son of Sir John Burrell, of Devonshire, who attended Henry V. to France, 1415, with one ship, 20 men at armes, and 40 archers. His grandfather, Ralph Burrell, descended from an ancient family in Northumberland, married Sismonda, daughter and co-heir of Walter Woodland, in Devonshire."

John Burrell, esq. was mayor of Berwick, 9th September, 1449. (Raine's North Durham Appx. No. 765.)

John Burrell, esq. was mayor of the same borough, 25th September, 1551. (Berwick Records.)

James Burrell, esq. surveyor, in 1602, of her majesty's works at Berwick, and from whom are many interesting communications to the privy council, respecting the destruction of the old wooden bridge over the Tweed, (Lansdowne MSS.) alderman of Berwick, and mayor of that borough in 1611. He erected the present stone bridge at Berwick.

THOMAS BURRELL, of Milfield, purchased a capital messuage and lands, called Slaty Raw, in the parish of Ford, by charter dated 16th February, 26 ELIZABETH, 1583-4; this estate was sold to Thomas Carr, esq. of Ford, and now belongs to the Marquis of Waterford. He was possessed also of a freehold estate at Milfield, and died 1615. James Burrell, of Berwick, alderman, was one of the administrators in trust of his effects. He left four sons and one daughter, 1. ROBERT, of Milfield, of whom hereafter.

II. Thomas, also of Milfield, possessed of a freehold estate in the township of Humbleton, adjoining to Milfield. He d. in 1620, and was buried within Kirknewton church; he left two children,

1. Oswald.

2. Rachael.

In 1697, he purchased great part of the remainder of Abberwick and the leasehold corn tithes of the townships of Botton and Abberwick; he was a very active magistrate of Northumberland during the reigns of Queen ANN and the two first GEORGES, as the records of this county most abundantly testify, and a firm supporter of the reigning family, during the rebellion of 1715. He married 1st July, 1680, at St. John's Church, Newcastle, Martha, daugh

ter of George Reveley, of Newton Underwood and Thropple. He died and was buried in Bolton chancel, 15th July, 1700, where a neat monument is erected to her memory, and he died and was buried in the same place, 15th January, 1730-1. He had fifteen children,
