The will of Henry Burdett, Sr. was proved in Richmond County VA in 1695, with Thomas Newman identified as the executor and as a legatee. It is believed Henry Burdett, Sr. was the son of William Burdett, who had a presence in Accowmack County on the Eastern shore, an original shire or county created in 1634, to be renamed Northampton in 1643, and from which Accomack County was created in 1663.

William Burdett accumulated vast acreage in both Northampton and Accomack Counties. He was deceased by 1657, according to a deed drawn by John Custis on 8 October 1657 in Nothampton County, for 200 acres of land "adjoining William Burdett, deceased".

Thomas Burdett in 1658 in Northampton County VA acquired by conveyance 1050 acres of land "by virtue of rights of a patent granted unto his father, William Burdett, conveying the same quantity and by him deserted", all ^[1]
