Bryan Family Descendants - NO

married a German immigrant lady, Anna Baverman of Philadelphia (enumerated this
record). We could not prove other children born to Sarah and William Booker.

• She immigrated in 1666 to Nansemond County, Virginia. Sarah was the daughter of
Andrew Burchett of Nansemond County Virginia. We could not prove her mother.
Andrew and his family were Quakers. His head right was claimed by Richard Ewell of
Westmoreland, Northampton and Accomack Counties Virginia and used it for a patent
dated July 15, 1657 in Northumberland County (see Cavaliers & Pioneers Vol., I, pg
352). It is quite possible Andrew married one of Richard's daughters; however, we
have no proof. Her father died before 1684 when we first proved her head right
claimed as Sarah Brooker, and evidently she was married to William Brooker before
that date. Follows is her father's immigration proof.
