I am also descended from Benjamin Burr:(1) Benjamin BURR (BG-1) m Anna ____________ (2) Thomas BURR (BG-3) m Sarah SPECK (3) Joseph BURR (BG-13) m Mary WOOD - 2nd wife (4) Daniel Burr (BG-62) m Amy CHESHIRE (5) Daniel BURR (BG-157) m Sarah UNDERHILL (6) James BURR (BG-383 & UG-1368) m Sarah WANSOR (7) Townsend BURR (BG-929) m Mary BENNET (8) Marian L (BURR) OAKLEY (BG-929b) m Samuel Jacob OAKLEY (9) Lillian May (OAKLEY) MASON m William H. MASON (10) Howard Oakley MASON m Millie K. STAUDERMAN (11) Philip W. MASON m Florence H. POSNER 2nd wife ---------------- I do not agree with Wilma Evans. Townsend Burr (of Cold Spring Harbor, Long Island) was the brother of Alma Burr. James Burr (BG-383) and his brothers, Richard Burr (BG-385), Walter Burr (BG-384), Stephen Burr (BG-387) along with their father Daniel Burr (BG-157) were members of the Oyster Bay Baptist Church. Daniel Burr Sr. (BG-62) was also a member. This line of Burr were on Long Island for a long time. Joseph Burr (BG-13) first came to Long Island and with Mary Wood, his 2 nd wife, founded the Burr's of Oyster Bay. I find that the Burr Genealogy (Ref A) and the Underhill Genealogy (Ref B) and Ref C are in agreement. REFERENCES (A) BG-# = number assigned in "General History of the Burr Family," 4th edition, 1902 by Charles Burr Todd (B) UG-# = number assigned in "Underhill Genealogy" (C) Oyster Bay Baptist Church Book - Oyster Bay Historical Society --------------------------------------------
