| Notes |
- BIRTH: No birth/chr rec found. Robert was probably born in Stanstead Abbot, where pre-1678 par regs are lost. He is identified as a son of Thomas Burnap of Stanstead Abbots by circumstantial evidence. Robert called Thomas Burnap "cousin" in his will, below. Thomas Burnap of Reading, Mass. is a proved son of Rev. John Burnap of Aston, Herts whose will (30 Mar 1653, proved 10 Mar 1654) mentions a son Thomas in New England (P.C.C., 193 Alchin [FHL #092200]). Rev. John Burnap is proved to be a son of Thomas Burnap of Stanstead Abbots by the former's 1606 rec of admission to Caius College, Cambridge (John Venn and J. A. Venn, ALUMNICANTABRIGIENSES, pt. 1, 4 vols. [Cambridge, 1922-27], 1:260 [FHL #942.59/C1 J2c]). Since Thomas Burnap of Stanstead Abbot was the only surviving son of his own father, the only way to make Robert a "cousin" to Thomas Burnap of Reading is to make Robert the son of Thomas of Stanstead Abbots and the brother of Rev. John of Aston. This would actually make Robert the uncle of Thomas, but cousin was then used to mean any degree of relationship more distant than brother/sister, father/mother, or son/daughter. Robert's grandfather, Thomas Burnap of Stanstead Abbots, mentions his grandsons in his will, dated Jan 1593. As Robert is not mentioned, it is assumed that he was not yet born. If he was born about 1595 it would be consistent with the age of 58 years given in a deposition, 26 Oct 1653 (Massachusetts Archives, 38B:166, cited in Henry Wyckoff Belknap, THE BURNAP-BURNETT GENEALOGY [Salem, MA, 1925], 22 [FHL #896923]).
MAR: No mar rec found. Ann, wife of Robert Burnap, Sr, consented to a deed from Isaac Burnap's heirs to Elias Pakemen, 19 Jan 1668 (Essex Co. Deeds, 3:47-48 [FHL #866015]). Ann is apparently the dau of Thomas Miller of Bishop's Stortford, Herts who mentions "my grandchild" Thomas Burnapin his will, 17 May 1627, no probate act, Commissary Court of the Bishop of London (Essex & Herts Div), orig wills, box 48, #22 (FHL #094414).
DEATH: Thomas W. Baldwin, comp, VITAL RECORDS OF READING (Boston, 1912), 504 (FHL #974.44/R1 V2b). Also see the will of Robert Burnap of Reading, 15 Nov 1668, proved 1 Oct 1689, inv 27 Sep 1689, Middlesex Co. Probate Files, 1st series, #3608 (FHL #386046).
