    • Immigration: 19 Sep 1635, New England

    Notes:

    He is said to be a founder of Hartford, Connecticut, and a Deputy to the General Court of Connecticut from Saybrook in 1650-51. He and his familey sailed for New England from London onSeptember 19, 1635 aboard the ship "True Love". The Port of London registry, as cited by Burpee, lists his children Elizabeth, Marie, Sara, Susan, John, and Ann, along with his wife Mary.Some New England records show him as being a resident and property owner in Roxbury, Massachusetts; Hartford, Connecticutt; Martha's Vineyard and Saybrook, Connecticutt.
    Burpee's Story of Connecticut (pp.1459-60) contains some historical data on the ancient Birchards. In reference to a somewhat contemporary Birchard's ancestors comes this:

    "The name of Birchard, Burchard, is one of the
    most ancient in Europe. It is first found on
    record in Wurzburg, lower Franconia, district
    of Bavaria, Germany in 750 A.D., when a St.
    Burchard went to Rome to secure permission from
    Pope Zacharias for Pepin, father of
    Charlemagne, to assume the kingship of the
    Merovingians. From that time on the Birchard,
    Burchard, family continued their association
    with the descendants of Charlemagne and played
    a prominent part in the formation of the French
    and German nations. Their prominence in the
    religious affairs of the continent is evidenced
    by the fact that a church of great antiquity
    bearing their name still stands.

    "Many famous historical characters have borne
    the name of Burchard, among them six marshals
    of France, all of whom bore the title of
    Montmorency awarded by the King of France for
    meritorious service. Another interesting
    personality was Elizabeth Birchard, wife of
    Oliver Cromwell, the 'Great Protector of
    England'.

    "The family was established in England during
    the Norman invasion. Two knights, the Lord
    Bourchier and the Lord Burchard, came here with
    William the Conqueror and were rewarded with
    lands in the Counties of Sussex and Essex.
    Their names are enrolled on the Doomsday Book,
    which was compiled at the behest of the
    Conqueror. It is generally acknowledged that
    the American branch of the family is descended
    from one of these courtiers.
