Notes

[6] Hanover County Chancery Wills and Notes: A Compendium of Genealogical, Biographical, and Historical Material Contained in Cases of the Chancery Suits of Hanover County, Virginia By William Ronald Cocke, Genealogical Publishing Com. 1940, < GoogleBooks >

In the Chancery notes at the bottom of page 24 for Captain Hardin Burnley it is stated that : "Richard Burnley was John's eldest brother of whole blood." This seems to infer that Richard and John Burnley's mother had died and the rest of Captain Hardin Burnley's children were half-brothers/sisters from a second wife. Since Ann Winston (nee Terrill) was a widow, it seems reasonable that Ann Winston (nee Terrill) was Hardin Burnley's second wife.
