Hi Carleen and all, I know the Burchell family came from NC to Grainger Co TN abt 1835, Grainger Co is just east of Knoxville. I find several Burchell's in Giles Co TN in 1900 and 1910 and then they move into AL. I have found some in Athens, Florence,Hartselle and Muscle Shoals AL. They all seem to be related back to a Daniel (Jack) Burchell b-1875 and a Thomas Burchell,b-1860, both of Grainger Co. TN. Because Jack's Burchell's sister (Nishie) married Thomas Burchell's son I have been trying to unravel the relationships. I believe that the James N. Burchell who I am seeking information on was possibly a brother to Jack and Nishie. Thomas Burchell's brother was my great grandfather and possibly Jack's father was also. I am not surprised that the death cert. could be wrong on the Clary Cemetery. I am going to contact the funeral home and see if they have any information and start doing some more researching in Madison Co. This was in 1952, and the writing is very plain and easy to read or I would think that maybe I was just not reading it right. Thank you so much for all the helpful hints and for responding to my post. Barbara
