BURR, JEHU, was in Mass. as early as 1630 ; freeman, 1631 ; a member of the church at Roxbury, Mass., while he resided there before 1636. He was a carpenter by trade, and was one of the first eight persons who came from Roxbury, Mass., to Agawam, (Spring- field,) with Wm. Pynchon, in 1636, and one of the principal pioneers in this great enterprise. The agreement made by these eight men who settled Agawam, was dated May 13, 1636. It appears that Mr. Wm. Pynchon and his company, intended when they first came to Springfield for a few years, to unite with the Conn. Colony, as we find Mr. Pynchon a member of the Gen. Court at Hartford, Nov. 1, 1636 and 37, and some sessions afterward ; and Jehu Burr, by the Gen. Court of Conn. in 1637, was appointed collector of rates for Agawam, and a committee or member of the lower house of the Gen. Court in April, 1638, and in 1641. Mr. Burr remained an active and useful member of society at Springfield about eight years. He then removed to Fairfield, about 1644, where he held a high standing in his new society, as a man of worth, as he represented the town of Fairfield at the Gen. Court in Hartford, in 1645, and in April, 1646, and six other sessions before the union of the two colo- nies. In Oct., 1644, the Gen. Court appointed Jehu Burr and Eph'm Wheeler, of Fairfield, collectors for Uncowa, to raise funds to aid scholars at Cambridge College, in Mass. In 1660, he was a grand- juror for Fairfield, with twelve other important men in the Colony, and as such was ordered by the Gen. Court to " inquire and consider of ye misdemeanors and breaches of the orders of this Colony," and present to the Particular Court the next Oct., all offences.
