1 NOTE Brigham gives date of death as 10 Nov 1732. [Brigham Family p. 64]
Fay (1898) p. 173 also gives date of death as 10 Nov 1732.

1 NOTE "He settled in that part of Marlboro, now Westboro, perhaps in the
Southwest part, and was one of the first inhabitants of that new town after it
was set off from Marlboro in 1717. He and his wife offered themselves for
baptism in the Marlboro church in 1701. His wife is enrolled July 7, 1727, in
the First Congregational church in Westboro. It might have been her daughter,
Tabitha Fay, and they perhaps retained their membership in the Marlboro
church, as he died a few years after the Westboro church was organized. He
left a will, which was not proved. His estate was settled by the consent of
his heirs.
"He was chosen Surveyor in 1718-1720 and 1721 was Tythingman, which was in
those days considered a highly honorable position, and was given to none but
men of sober character and good standing in the community. He also filled the
office of Town Clerk, succeeding his brother, John, in that position. In
1728, 1729 and 1730 he was Sealer of leather.
"He owned land in Southboro and purchased a large tract of land in
Brookfield." [Fay (1898), p. 173]

Notes for Gloud Burnside:
From: "Ancestors and Descendants of James LeRoy Burnside", by Walter Clark Armstrong, Washington D.C., 1971.

Gloud Burnside--b abt 1710 Tyrone County, Northern
Ireland. m Margaret Stewart probably in Ireland. Emi-
grated to America about 1740 with his family and brothers.
Gloud settled in the Town of Watervliet, Albany County,
N.Y. Both Gloud and Margaret died subsequent to 1759
because in that year they were witnesses at the baptism
of their grandchild Margaret who was the oldest child of
their son James.

=======================================

From: "HISTORY OF OTSEGO COUNTY, NEW YORK: 1740-1878 Published by Everts & Fariss, Philadelphia in 1878.

"Gloud Burnside emigrated from Ireland and settled in this country in 1765, together three other brothers, he settling first in the New England States and his progeny in the State of New York. The descendants of Gloud all settled in New York State, the other brothers of Gloud settling, one in Pennsylvania, another in Massachusetts, and a third in North Carolina. The origian of the name "Burnside" is as follows: The original name of the family was Wallace, but from a custom in Scotland, that a family residing by a stream (Berne) they were called Thomas by the side of the Berne, and hence the name, when changed about, "bernside, or burnside." The family was originally of Scottish origin, but previous to Gloud's birth had migrated to the county of Tyrone, Ireland, whence they emigrated to America." (From Biographical Sketches of General Samuel Burnside and Thomas Burnside)
==================

Note added in History of Otsego book:

Gloud Burnside must have emmigrated before 1765, as he was present at the baptism of his grand-daughter, Margaret Burnside, daughter of James and Debora Janse Burnside, July 22, 1759, Reformed Dutch Church, Albany. Gloud and three brothers, James, Thomas, and John came to the US probably about 1734. James to Georgia, Gloud to New England, one to Pennsylvania, one to Louisiana. Information provided by Dorris W. Berning, 15941 Fairfield Avenue, Detroit, Michigan, April 19, 1950

Schenevus Creek and Junction
Thomas Burnside and family

In 1788 when the Schenevus Valley was hardly known to the white population, a gentleman from Albany County wended his way through the dense forest from the said county with a determination to reach the Susquehanna River for the sole purpose of making a permanent settlement for himself and his family, and master the adversities which must be endured in a wilderness country.

Thomas Burnside of Scotch-Irish origin was a strong, resolute, and adventurous gentleman. He found his desired home and was well pleased with his selection. He found the Collier settlement on the west side of the river, but he preferred the east side, and commenced on the Schenevus Creek. He made a beginning by erecting a log cabin, and returned to Albany for his family bringing them back for a permanent home. Mr. Burnside reared a large family and all proved to be respectable citizens and ornaments in society. His family consisted of himself and wife and fourteen children (some of his children were born in Milford).

I will give their names and dates of birth.
Thomas Burnside, Sr. Born July 30, 1750
Arian Burnside, born May 31, 1755

Birth and names of their children:
Mary Burnside, born April 28, 1774 in Albany County
Margaret Burnside, born February 6, 1776 in Albany County
Andrew Burnside, born July 9, 1778 in Albany County
Gloud Burnside, born March 14, 1780 in Albany County
Jane Burnside, born November 9, 1781 in Albany County
James Burnside, born August 28, 1783 in Albany County
Arian Burnside, born March 12, 1786 in Albany County
Thomas Burnside, Jr. , born August 27, 1787 in Albany County
Sarah Burnside, born January 16, 1789 in Albany County
John Burnside, born April 18, 1791 in Albany County
Elizabeth Burnside, born August 29, 1794 in Albany County
Catherine Burnside, born July 27, 1796 TWIN in Albany County
Martha Burnside, born July 27, 1796 TWIN in Albany County
George Burnside, born July 9, 1798 in Albany County

This constitutes the Thomas Burnside family, the first settler of the Schenevus valley, of the town of Milford. The whole family remained in the valley for a long time although some went up in the town of Maryland and finally scattered to different states. But few remain in the town of Milford at the present time.

The reader will see at a glance that the Burnsides were quite numerous in the Schenevus Valley.

==================

From: HISTORY OF OTSEGO COUNTY, NY

"A remarkable incident in the family of Thomas Burnside, showing longevity and endurance, is that in his family of fourteen children, every one grew to manhood and womanhood, and themselves raised families, and two now survive over eighty years of age.
