It seems unlikely that 'Burnell' was a mistranscription for Burrell or Burnett. A John Burnell was Lord Mayor c. 1788; An Edward Burnell ironmonger and American merchant was bankrupt 1778 LG 6 June 1778Issue:11881Page:8. The will of Martin Burnell ship and insurance broker proved 18/08/1821 PROB 11/1646/381 was probably of the next generation. A Martin Burnell brother of John Burnell was dead by the time John Burnell of Clapham made his will in 1789 (proved 1790): the will shows John Burnell the testator as having a nephew, also named Martin Burnell.
