Hannah Siddall and Samuel Burk

Hi Everyone -

I am researching my Siddall line and am confused by something I came across. Hannah Siddall was born around 1775 and was the daughter of Isaac Siddall. She married Samuel Burk and they had two sons, Atticus (whom I believe is my ancestor) and Sysom (or Thomas Sysom).

Here is where I am confused;

Why did Atticus and Sysom take the last name Siddall and not their father's last name Burk?

Any ideas/input would be much appreciated, thanks so much!
