http://webpages.charter.net/rpitzner/burnham2.html offers: "The Robert Burnham Family: The 3 Burnham brothers, John, Thomas, and Robert, sons of Robert and Mary [Andrews] Burnham, arrived in May, 1635 on the ship "Angel Gabriel" in the charge of their maternal uncle, Capt. Andrews, master of the ship. Capt. Robert Andrews, was the brother of Mary [Andrews] Burnham.
"The ship 'Angel Gabriel' pulled into Pemaquid Bay (Pemaquid, Maine) on August 13, 1635 and laid at anchor. The next day there was a terrible rain storm which ravaged the whole coast from Nova Scotia to New York starting at morning. The Angel was torn to pieces by the savage storm and cast away. Most of the cattle, 1 seaman and 3 or 4 passengers died. The others escaped to shore. Among the few personal belongings saved was a chest belonging to the Burnham boys. The tides had been as high as 20 feet.
"Some passengers set up tents along the shore and John Cogswell [Coggswell] went to Boston and sought the help of a Capt. Gallop who commanded a smallbark, or barque as it was called then. He took some passengers to Ipswich and made another trip the end of October. The 3 Burnham brothers went to Chebacco, in the colony of Massachusetts Bay, probably with their uncle, Capt. Andrews, and John Cogswell and his family in Capt. Gallop's barque.
"Deacon John Burnham joined the Pequot Expedition in 1637 and in 1639 Ipswich granted him land for his services as a soldier in that expedition. He was appointed deacon of the church at Chebacco. He became the owner of a large tract of land, lying on the east side of what is now known as Haskell's Creek, which is where he died on 5 Nov. 1694.
"Lt. Thomas Burnham also joined the Pequot Expedition in 1637 along with his brother, John. He was made Selectman in 1647; Sergeant of the Ipswich Company in 1664; made Ensign in 1665 and was commissioned as Lieutenant in 1683. He was Deputy to the General Court from 1683 to 1685 and on town committees. In 1667 he was granted the privilege of errecting a saw mill on the Chebacco River. He owned much land both in Chebacco and in Ipswich which was divided between his sons, Thomas and James upon his death.
"In 1645, Thomas married Mary Lawrence [NOT Mary Tuttle], daughter of Thomas Lawrence and Joan Antrobus. Thomas Lawrence died in 1625 in England and his widow, Joan, married John Tuttle. In June 1635, John and Joan Tuttle came to America in the ship "Planter", along with their children, Joan's mother [Mrs. Joan Antrobus] and 3 of the Lawrence children.
"Robert Burnham came to Ipswich at the age of 11 and he removed to Boston in 1644, at the age of 20. He married Frances Hill soon after. While in Boston, he became one of a company who purchased the town of Dover, N.H. Ten years later, in 1654, he removed to Oyster River, N.H. and erected his 'garrison house'.
"THOMAS OF HARTFORD: Care must be taken in distinguishing Burnham family ancestors from Thomas Burnham of Hartford, Conn. who was born about 1617. This Thomas Burnham sailed from Gravesend, England about 1635, for the Barbados and soon after came to Conn. There are no records to connect Thomas of Hartford with the other Burnham brother. As Caroline Burnham, one of our Burnham cousins, so aptly put it, 'Our Thomas Burnham and his brothers crashed into America. The other one, Thomas Burnham of Hartford, Conn., landed safely in one piece.'
"THE BURNHAM NAME: This is one of the early New England names, of English origin, among the foremost in New Hampshire (both in point of time and importance), and distinguished in military annals from the earliest colonial period. Not only in military, but in civil affairs it has been pre-eminent, and has furnished leading agriculturists, merchants, clergymen, educators, jurists and legislators to this commonwealth.
Walter Le Veutre came to England at the Conquest, in 1066, with William of Normandy, in the train of his cousin german Earl Warren and was made a lord in 1080, and received the Saxon village of Burnham, county of Norfolk, as a part of his estate. After the Conquest, he assumed the name of Walter de Burnham after the manor, and the estate continued to be held by his descendants until after 1700. The ancient seat, "Burnham Beeches," is mentioned in one of Tennyson's poems.
"THE BURNHAM ESTATE: Benjamin Burnham (born in 1621), also a son of Robert Burnham, did not make the trip to America and eventually went to Madras, India where he lived from 1660-1684. He amassed a great fortune in real estate, including 150 acres which included a part of Burnham Road [which is now Regent Street, London], Burnham Beach Cottage and Burnham Wood.
"When Benjamin died in London, England about 1691, his will of June 8, 1685 stated that everything would go to his 3 brothers in America. The oldest brother, Edward, who had stayed in England, was quite upset and fought the will in courts. After a long battle in courts of England, the British Crown confiscated the entire estate, as they were noted for such practice in those days, and the Burnhams never regained the estate. Over the next 100 to 200 years, several Burnhams in America would make the long journey to England to contest the taking over of the estate, but were not successful. In 1860, Benjamin's total estate consisting of real and personal property was valued at $65,200,000 giving an annual income of $2,392,000. We can only imagine what it would be worth today."
"Genealogical and Personal Memoirs Relating to the Families of the State of Massachusetts," William Richard Cutter, Ed. (N.Y.: Lewis Historical Publishing Co., 1910), Vol. 3, p. 1822: Walter Le Veutre came to Burnham England at the time of the Conquest in 1066 in the train of his cousin-german, Earl Warren, son-in-law of William the Conqueror. He was lord of the Saxon village of Burnham and others, and from Burnham, where he lived, he was known as De Burnham. He took his surname from this town. The name is often spelled Burnam, Bernam and Barnham, as well as Burnham, and in the old Anglo-Saxon, Beornham, Byrnhom, etc. In the old Norse the name is Bjorh, which in Anglo-Saxon is Beorn, and Burn (a bear), meaning according to Ferguson, 'chief, hero, man.' There were towns of this name in both Somersetshire and county Sussex before 900, and the family has been distinguished ever since. The ancient coat of arms is : Sable a cross between four crescents argent. (I) Robert Burnham, the English progenitor, lived at Norwich, county Norfolk, England. He married Mary, sister of Captain Andrews. Their three sons Robert, John and Thomas Burnham sailed in the ill-fated ship 'Angel Gabriel,' of which Captain Andrews was owner and master, and which early in 1630 was wrecked on the coast of Maine. Their lives were saved, but all their valuables and possessions in a chest were lost. The captain and his three nephews settled first at Ipswich. John and Thomas were soldiers in the Pequot war, and settled permanently in Chebacco, the second parish of Ipswich, afterwards Essex."

Ancestry.com offers: "Burnham Name Meaning - English: habitational name from any of several places called Burnham. Those in Buckinghamshire (Burnham Beeches), Norfolk (various villages), and Essex (Burnham-on-Crouch) are named with Old English burna stream + ham homestead. In the case of Burnham-on-Sea in Somerset, however, the second element is Old English hamm water meadow, while Burnham in Lincolnshire is named from brunnum, dative plural of Old Norse brunnr spring, originally used after a preposition, i.e. (at) the springs."

Juana is also known as la Palomilla or Lady of Lara. Juana was firstly married to Infante Enrique of Castile, son of Ferdinand III of Castile and his first wife Elisabeth of Hohenstaufen. The marriage was childless and Enrique died in 1304, leaving Juana a young widow. Juana was secondly married to Fernando de la Cerda, son of Ferdinand de la Cerda and his wife Blanche of France."

She had at least 2 sons and 2 daughters with Perley Sedate Strout. She lived in Charleston, Penobscot, Maine, United States for about 10 years and Dexter, Penobscot, Maine, United States for about 5 years. She died on 4 January 1982, in Dover-Foxcroft, Piscataquis, Maine, United States, at the age of 74, and was buried in Puddledock Cemetery, Charleston, Penobscot, Maine, United States."

[29120] Mary's obituary in The Herald of Truth: "Mary (Hursh) Brenneman, wife of Benjamin Brenneman, was born in Pennsylvania, March the 14th, 1818, and died at her home in Orrville, Ohio, November the 27th, 1887, aged 69 years, 8 months and 13 days. On the 30th she was followed to her last resting place by a large concourse of friends and relatives. She was buried at the Mennonite Church, where services were held by Michael Horst, Michael Rohrer assisted by David Hostetler. She leaves a husband, 6 children, 23 grandchildren and one great-grand child to mourn her loss, but we need not weep as those who have no hope, for we believe our loss is her eternal gain, as we trust she has gone to that beautiful home above, where no sickness, sorrow or pain shall meet her any more. She was kind and loving to all and ever trusted in her Redeemer, looking forward to life eternal. Her place in the Church was never vacant when she was able to go, but as her health had been failing for some years, she was deprived many times of the privilege to be there; yet it was her desire to go. Her place is now vacant and when we go to grandfather's house, we see the vacant chair and think how good, how kind she was. We do not wish her back, but we will try so to live that we can meet her above. She came to Ohio when she was 17 years old, and was married to her surviving husband in 1839. In 1842 they united with the Mennonite Church and lived in its doctrine up to the time of her death."

Irish: re-Anglicized form of de Horsaigh, Gaelicized form of the English habitational name Horsey, established in Ireland since the 13th century. German: topographic name from Middle High German hurst 'woodland', 'thicket'."
