| Notes |
- [Broderbund WFT Vol. 7, Ed. 1, Tree #3244]
In 1856 the Burwells bought a large plantation in Williamsboro & named their home "Buena Vista". During the war they had to bury their meat under the smokehouse to prevent the Yankees from taking it when Sherman's Army passed through the area. A family cemetery is located not far from the house and Henry and his wife are buried there. Henry built "Burwell Hall" on Garnett Street. It opened May 14, 1883. His sons, Joe & Sam, managed it for awhile. The large dance hall was used for dances, operas and graduating exercises. Some court sessions were held there before the courthouse was built. Fire destroyed the building in 1955. Burwell Avenue in Henderson, NC was named for him.
