"1637:KINGSMILL, patented before 1637 by Richard KINGSMILL, passed in time by marriage to LEWIS BURWELL.One of BURWELL's nine daughters 'completely upset what little reason there was in GOV. FRANCIS NICHOLSON', who was most 'passionatley attached to her and demanded her of her parents in royal style'.When her parents refused his suit he became furious and threatened to kill three persons if the young lady married any other but himself - the bridegroom, the officiating minister, and the justice that issued the license.The affair ended only when NICHOLSON was recalled by the queen."
Does anyone have the names of the 9 daughters?
