Debra,
John Burbank was thought to be Jos. Boerbancke who arrived about 1634 on the same ship as Joann Jordan. Some New England genealogists thought that the two, who were indentured servants to the same master, met on board ship or even knew each other in England. The ship master wrote the names as he chose which caused other ship masters to complain to the Brittish Admiralty about him, so he could be the John Burbank of our lineage. These same genealogists thought Joann was his wife Ann. Of course there is no proof. Lydia was his older daughter, half sister to John, Jr. (born about 1642) and full sister to Caleb. John's mother was Ann. Caleb and Lydia were the children of Jemima; so was Mary, who died at age 5 the same week John Jr.'s full brother Timothy(born in 1640)died. Timothy was only 19 when he died.
Hope you are finding the answers you need.Cousin Iris
