I ordered a copy of Daniel Burger's will (finally) from the Northampton County Register of Wills so I could see his signature and compare it to the signature of the Daniel Burger who arrived in America in 1739 on the ship Samuel. Despite the 30+ years difference between the times the documents were signed, the signatures are virtually identical in all important aspects.
Juliana Burger, who married Lorenz Wehr was the definitely the daughter of Daniel Bürger (b. Abt. 1699 in Germany - d. between Jan 1774 - Jan 1775 in Heidelberg, Lehigh County, PA) and his wife Maria Margretha Faust. Daniel, Maria Margretha and two children - Johann Adam (age 2) and Juliana (age 1) arrived in Philadelphia on the ship Samuel on 27 Aug 1739.
On Ancestry.com has a Jacob Burger as father of Daniel, but no sources.
Daniel married Maria Margretha Faust. (Maria Margretha Faust was born on an unknown date and died on an unknown date.)
