About
Eunice Dennie Burr (1732-1805) and her husband Thaddeus Burr were considered the "first couple" of Fairfield Colony of Connecticut in pre-revolutionary times. Eunice married Thaddeus Burr in 1759. Before the American Revolution, their house hosted John Adams, Samuel Adams, Aaron Burr, John Hancock, and George Washington. In 1779 their house was burned by British soldiers under General Tryon's command; the soldiers also looted the house and stole Eunice's rings, buckles, and silver buttons, and Eunice hid from them in the marshes behind her house. The house was rebuilt by Eunice and Thaddeus in 1791. For its rebuilding, John Hancock presented the frame, as his own house frame was the model after which the Burr mansion (as it is now known) was built, though the Burr mansion has changed since.
