Court Record, Page 150–2 May, 1721: Will proven.
He married (1) Mary Catlin, married pre 1672, b. c. 1649, baptized 7 May 1649 in First Church, Hartford, Hartford, CT,11 d. pre 1684. Mary: Mary “wife of John Burnham” admitted full communicant First Church May 1672. This means that Mary and John were married prior to 1672.
New England Marriages prior to 1700 lists John’s wife that he married in 1684 as “Mary Olcott”.
There are some Catlin researchers that say that John and Mary Catlin Burnham had a child, Mary, who is mentioned in Mary Catlin’s father’s will as “grand daughter, Mary Burnham” . Mary wife of John Burnham is not mentioned in her father’s will, leading to the supposition that Mary Catlin Burnham died prior to that. John then married Mary Olcott. However, John has a daughter, Mary, who was born in 1690. So that would mean that the daughter Mary born prior to 1684 would have died young as well. I do not know the date of Thomas Catlin’s will. That would make a huge difference if it’s after 1690.
I also found a baptism for a Mary “Catteling” bp 29 Nov 1646, First Church, Hartford.
Mary bp 7 May 1649, was listed as “Mary Catling”, daughter of Thomas “Catteling” . Two different spellings in same record!
There is also the question of their being two Mary Catlins..one born in 1846 and one in 1666. The Catlin researchers list many reasons why it must have been the Mary born in 1649 that married John Burnham.
i. Mary3 Burnham. Mentioned in grandfather’s will.
Probably died young, as John named another daughter Mary in 1690.
He married (2) Mary Olcott, married 12 Nov 1684 in Windsor, Hartford, CT, b. 1 May 1658,2 d. 13 Dec 1730 in Windsor, Hartford, CT. Mary: New England Marriages prior to 1700, lists John Burnham’s wife as Mary Olcott.
See notes under first wife, Mary Catlin, that suggests John really did have two wives, both named Mary.

I give to my son Samuel Burnham the house in which he dwells and the land on which it stands, bounded west on a highway, south on land of John Burnham, north on land of John Wood’s, the bredth of my lott (excepting two rods on the north side extending eastward within 8 rods of the house, hereafter given to my son Joseph Burnham).

The Republic of Suriname, a former Dutch sugar colony on the northern coast of South America, is not often a topic of conversation around here. But a team of researchers may make the tiny state of interest to Connecticut residents, thanks to their discovery of the graves of two 18th-century sea captains.
One headstone, bearing the date of 1758, is that of Capt. Michael Burnham of Middletown, a swashbuckling adventurer who made a fortune as a privateer and most likely trafficked in slaves. Another, made of Portland brownstone, marks the grave of New London Capt. William Barbut. Nearby are the graves of Rhode Island merchants Capt. Nathaniel Angel and Capt. William Gardner Wanton.
the headstones of the Yankee sea captains, lying flat in the sandy ground, are plain. The four men were buried between 1758 and 1765. The inscriptions offer no clue as to how they died. What is known is that commerce – based on the ubiquitous slave-worked plantations of the sugar islands – drew these canny New Englanders to the area.
Capt. Burnham, as commander in chief in the Provincial Navy, was tasked with protecting this commerce during the French and Indian War – 1754 to 1763 – when American and ritish shipping in the Caribbean was being harassed by French corsairs. Burnham was sent to the West Indies in the winter of 1757 with orders “to distress his Majesties’ enemies…” The 52-year-old commander was put in charge of the 24-gun brigantine Tartar with a crew of 100. Capt. Burnham carried Letters of Marque from the British crown, allowing him to seize French prizes.
Whether the Middletown captain was also running slaves – a common practice then – is not known, but Suriname at this time was a principal destination for Rhode Island slavers, who exchanged horses, lumber, rum and African slaves for sugar, coffee and cocoa – the infamous Triangular Trade.
Indeed, Capt. William Gardner Wanton, who is buried next to Burnham in Paramaribo, belonged to an illustrious clan of Newport merchants notorious for slaving, which included R.I. Gov. Joseph Wanton, one-time privateer and slaver who is pictured in a famous painting of the era by John Greenwood, entitled “Sea Captains Carousing in Surinam.” Capt. Joseph Wanton, during and French and Indian War, was master of the privateer, King of Prussia, which was seized by the French in 1758 off the Bahamas with a cargo of gold dust, rum and 54 slaves.
That same year Capt. Burnham died at the age of 54 and was buried in Paramaribo amid the coconut palms and orange groves just up from the river. The inventory of his estate, compiled in five 15-inch columns of “closely written text,” includes powdered wigs, crimson waistcoats, silk cravats, gold sleeve buttons and a silver-hilted sword, along with prodigious qualities of Madeira and Jamaican rum.
Also listed in his estate are three human beings, Africans, a woman named Sue, a young boy named Julius, and a young man called Cape Coast, whose value is given as 58 pounds.

He mentions in his verbal will of May 30, 1759, his two brothers as being able to take care of themselves, but to his ONLY sister, being fatherless and motherless, he made a “Device” in the following words, viz: “That after all my just debts be paid out of my estate I give to my sister, Lois Burnham, and that s estate be put into the hands of Mr. Philip Mortimer of Mdidletown, for her education and benefit”, etc.
