Therefore, spelling variations were common, even among the names of the most literate people. Known variations of the Burmyn family name include Burkman, Burman, Burmann, Buhrman, Buryman and others.

Migration of the Burmyn familyFor political, religious, and economic reasons, thousands of English families boarded ships for Ireland, Canada, the America colonies, and many of smaller tropical colonies in the hope of finding better lives abroad. Although the passage on the cramped, dank ships caused many to arrive in the New World diseased and starving, those families that survived the trip often went on to make valuable contributions to those new societies to which they arrived. Early immigrants bearing the Burmyn surname or a spelling variation of the name include: Thomas and Luce Burman, who came to Plymouth, MA in 1635; Rowland Burman, who received land in Virginia in 1638; Jno. Burman, who received a land patent in Virginia in 1662.
