Burbeck. He, too, is interested in finding out more about the family, and wrote about some unpublished sources created or owned by his great-aunt.<BR/><BR/>Col. Burbeck's son Henry became a general in the U.S. Army and a founder of the military academy at West Point. Late in his long life he wrote several letters to Massachusetts historians about the military situation before and at the start of the Revolutionary War. Some have been published; most have not been. They're in different collections of the Massachusetts Historical Society. <BR/><BR/>William Burbeck and Paul Revere were occasional rivals in the leadership of the Freemasons in Boston, so Burbeck shows up in Jayne Triber's biography of Revere, <I>A True Republican</I>. However, since few sources from Burbeck himself are known, his motivations and choices remain quite a mystery. <BR/><BR/>Feel free to email me if you have specific questions.J. L.
