Subject: Robert Butleigh, possible son of Brownlow Cecil
I saw your name as a source and was hoping that you would be able to help my
family. I am trying to trace Robert Burleigh (born 1728 in London,
England--died 1757 in Wilmington, New Hanover County, North Carolina) and
was married to Sarah Allerdge (or Aldridge).
It seems that he might have been "kicked out" of the Cecil family "due to
a
marriage"?! Have found information from the internet that Robert Burleigh
was the son of Brownlow Cecil (B 1701), the 8th Earl of Exeter and the 9th
Lord Burghley and Hannah Sophia Chambers (b1702). I an able to trace my
family up to this Robert Burleigh (B1728) but can not find documentation to
definitely connect him to the Cecil family.
Any help would be appreciated!
Elaine (Burleigh) Hudgens
