The names of the parents of John, Thomas and
Robert are not known. The longstanding belief which has been published
in many documents, was that Thomas and his 2 brothers were the sons of
Robert and Mary (Andrews) Burnham and arrived in Massachusetts on the ship "Angel
Gabriel" in the charge of their maternal uncle, Capt. Andrews, master of
the ship. Many researchers now believe that this narrative is false and
their parents are not known. For more details, please visit this
