I have found no evidence of his being from Wales. Have you seen Anne Arundel Gentry by Harry Wright Newman where he theorized that William might have been from Marlborough, Wiltshire.Other evidence found since then definitely supports that he is probably related to Joseph Burgess whose will was written 1672 Marlborough.Newman wondered if perhaps William was the brother of Joseph that Joseph mentioned in his will.Marlborough Church records and the will of Joseph's step-father John Keynes show this is not the case.Joseph would appear to be of a later generation, perhaps a nephew of William.
