I am hoping that one of your readers may be able to help me discover some of my missing BURDYNE/BURDINE in Alabama. REGINALD BURDYNE with wife DORTHEA TANNER BURDYNE and a brother SAMUEL BURDYNE with wife SUSANNAH TARRENT BURDYNE and their sister BARBARA BURDYNE GRESHAM were found in South Carolina.In 1803 the children of Reginald and Dorothy along with Samuel and his family and Barbara and her family went to Georgia. REGINALD'S children: JEREMIAH, JOHN, RICHARD, who married SARAH WALLING 1820, REUBEN, NANCY (BROWN) and WILLIAM. After a few years some of Reginalds children and possibly Samuel Burdine or at least a couple of his children went into Alabama. I have found a JAMES TARRANT BURDINE, b. 1799, in Alabama and his sister CATHERINE b. 1798 and she married WILLIAM RICHARDS. The year that Samuel left Alabama for Mississippi is unknown or why, if James and Catherine were his children, they did not go with him. I am not positive that James and Catherine are the children of Samuel and Susannah. I find no record of him with the family information in Mississippi. Samuel and Susannah were married 8Sep1796. There was also a HENRY BURDINE and his children IRENA C. and JOHN M. BURDINE, relationship to any of the above is unknown. RICHARD BURDYNE was granted land in Madison County, Alabama Grant #799, 2FEB1818 near Morgan County border in Township 5 South Range 1 East, Section 13 and Section 24 for a total of 190 acres. He married SARAH WALLING 28FEB1820. RICHARD died 13FEB1826. He left his estate to his only child JOHN GEORGE J. BURDINE and guardianship of him to REUBEN SHOTWELL (whether his sister HANNAH BURDYNE SHOTWELL had made this migration is not known). John George died in 1834 and Richards estate was in probate again because of provisions he made if the child should die. Probate Record #3, page 362, Madison County, Alabama. At the Orphans Court 14MAR1835, Book 6, page 198 a petition with several of the Burdines listed. They were: SETH Q. WADDELL and wife MARY(BURDYNE), REUBEN BURDINE, CLARK BURDINE, THOMAS B. DANFORTH and his wife SOPHIA (BURDINE), JULIA NOEL (BURDINE), GEORGE BURDINE, ELIZABETH BURDINE, THOMAS BRUGGS and his wife MARY (BURDINE), HENRY CURRY and his wife LUCINDA (BURDINE), BENJAMINE ALIEN and his wife FRANCES (BURDINE), PETER McRADY and his wife NANCY (BURDINE), WILLIAM WADSWORTH and his wife SARAH (BURDINE), HENRY BURDINE deceased and his children IRENA C. and JOHN M. BURDINE and their guardian RICHARD B. PURDOM. My search brings me to these Burdines and their families of whom I wish to discover more information on them and their connection to Richard Burdine. Thank you for your help. Carol Ann
