    John Burnap, b. 25 Jun 1744, "said to have died" Packersfield (Nelson), NH, 28 May 1815, m. 24 Dec 1767 Mary Hayward.
    [Note: birth and death record not found, noted in regard to some of his children: "based upon information from a descendant" and that may or may not be true of this. Much of the attached biography in this source wonders about the intention of a John Burnap to widow Hepzibah Fish in 1782 and whether he lived in Temple, NH. Belknap's various speculations appear to reach the wrong conclusion on both accounts as his wife Mary appears to have lived well past this speculated marriage (and according to other sources survived him though no death record found) and he was of Temple for about 10 years, both according to deeds cited below.]
