Biography
John Burge was born in England.[1] He emigrated to New England, settling in the Massachusetts Bay Colony.
Rebecca, the wife of John Burge, died on 1 May 1661. After her death, John Burge removed from Weymouth to Chelmsford. He married his second wife, Mary (Stearnes) Lerned, widow of Isaac Lerned, in Chelmsford on 9 June 1662. The marriage record describes him as "late of Weymouth." Mary died in Chelmsford on 9 January 1663.[2][3]
On 3 July 1667, in Chelmsford, John Burge Sr. married Grissell (Fletcher) Gurney[3] as his third wife and her fifth husband. (Her earlier husbands were Thomas Jewell, Humphrey Griggs, Henry Kibby, and John Gurney, Sr.) She died on 9 July 1669.[2][4]
John Burge, Sr., married Jane Gurne(y) of Dorchester on 6 September 1677 in Chelmsford, Massachusetts Bay Colony. His son, also named John Burge, was married to Tryall Thayer later that same month, also in Chelmsford.[3][5] Torrey identified Jane Gurney as the fourth wife of this John Burge.[6]
