    "John Birchard was a man of considerable note among the proprietors, and perhaps the best clerk in the company. The earliest records are supposed to be in his hand-writing. He officiated also as townsman and constable, and was the first Commissioner of the Peace. Hence he was always designated as Mr. Birchard. His origin has not been traced. The orthography of those times was so uncertain, that he may have been of the same family with Edward Bircher, who arrived in Plymouth, 1623. He married Christian Andrews in 1653, by whom he had a large family of sons and daughters. The sons were all born in Norwich, viz., Samuel, born 1663. James born 1665. Thomas, born 1669. John, born 1671. Joseph, born 1673. Daniel, born 1680. The name is still found in Norwich, Mansfield, and perhaps other towns of this vicinity."
