On a list of Freeholder voters polled to determine the Colonel of Fairfax County Militia, December 11, 1755, we find the name of Joseph Burson. Also on the Militia of Fairfax County Roster we find the name of Joseph Burson, a trooper in the Virginia Colonial Militia, March 1756.

Joseph Burson received a land grant and moved to the Old 96th District or what was then Berkley County, South Carolina. A tract of land containing one hundred and fifty acres was awarded in 1768.

After the American Revolution, the Burson men took advantage of the land bounty in Georgia for veterans of the conflict. Joseph received a bounty grant, and Jonathan and Isaac received Privateer grants of two hundred acres in Wilkes County, Georgia.

Joseph Burson's grant was dated September 29, 1784. Sons, Jonathan and Isaac, were dated July 29, 1785.
