His former slave John and his wife remained at the home place for many years. Each family report on visits back to the home place met with John. Supposedly, when young, John went with John Henry to visit a neighboring plantation and John pointed out a female slave that interested him. John Henry then purchased the slave girl who became John's wife. John accompanied John Henry on his Civil war duty. John is seen in a number of family photos. Though we are now very ashamed that our ancestors supported slavery, it is some comfort to have evidence of kind treatment of slaves).

(Note: He is the earliest Burgess found in our line. His earliest record was his marriage to Mary Davis in Kingston Parish VA (Now Mathews County). In that area, records of colonial Gloucester of 1639 list a John Burgis as one of 60 persons transferred by George Minifye(?sp) to North side of Charles River (now York).

(Note: She may have been the daughter of Andrew Davis and Elizabeth Barbee and who was born 9 or 11 Feb 1738 per Christ Church Parish Registry in nearby Middlesex VA (LDS). This family may be linked to Sir John Davis who emigrated to Middlesex in 1699 (Family histories of Middlesex).
