Maj. Nathaniel BURWELL

  Noted events in his life were:

• Reference: Burwell's Quarters. BURWELL'S QUARTER probably had belonged to Robert Carter's son-in-law, Nathaniel Burwell, who died in 1721. The profits from this farm went to Burwell's widow, Elizabeth, and Robert Carter acquired title to it at some point because he bequeathed it to one of Elizabeth's sons.

BURWELL, NATHANIEL (1680-1721), of "Carter's Creek" (later called "Fairfield"), Gloucester County, a justice, burgess, and Council member. He married Robert Carter's daughter Elizabeth Carter (1692-1734) in 1709. Robert Carter managed his estates until his own death.
