[Burbage had patented 2 tracts, of 200 & 300 acres, 16 Sep 1636. (PB1:385) 

 The 300-acre tract was decribed as lying south of the Elizabeth River in 
 Elizabeth City Co., adjoining John Sipsey, and likely was situated in what is 
 today Portsmouth or Chesapeake. 

 From the description, the 200-acre tract lay approximately where the modern 
 Monitor-Merrimac Bridge (I-664) strikes the Southside shore. While Isle of 
 Wight (then Warrasquyoke {spelled variously} and Nansemond (then part of New 
 Norfolk) Cos. adjusted their boundary in 1769, I am not aware of Isle of Wight 
 Co. ever having extended below the mouth of the main Nansemond River, so it 
 seems this should have been described as being in Elizabeth City Co., or after 
 that county was split in 1636, New Norfolke Co. (whether it lay in modern 
 Suffolk or Chesapeake.)]
