Dear Dave,
I have a copy ofLewis Burwell ll'swill dated Feb 19th 1710. In it he specifically mentions only Jane and Martha (Jr.) as daughters of his union with Martha Lear Cole. In the last paragraph he gives to his "...six daughters namely Joanah, Elizabeth, Lucy, Martha, Jane & Martha Jrall moneys due me in England Virginia or elsewhere...."
There is no mention of a Susannah, and neither my research nor any of the histories I have seen mentions her as Lewis Burwell ll's daughter.
Another researcher on Ancestry.com claims that Lewis Burwell and Martha Lear Cole had two sons, Lewis lll and John. However, such is not the case. Lewis lll was their only son. He married Elizabeth Armisted and built Kingsmill.
Lewis ll had only two other sons, Nathaniel and James, by Abigail Smith.
Hope this helps.
Robert
