Jan: I have a Randolph connection to the BURD family: here is what I know. my Randolph BURD married Elizebeth LENHART, b. 1810 dau of: Abraham LINHART and Sarah BYERLY. Her siblings were Joseph Linhart married Elazabeth Baughman, Anna Maria Linhart married Samuel Keck, Anna Barbara Linhart, Peter Linhart, Maria Dorthea (Dorthy) Linhart married Joseph Gongaware, Margaretta Linhart, Sarah Linhart married Jacob Kunkle, Susanna Linhart also married a Joseph Gongaware, Lavina Linhart married George Knappenberger, and Michael Linhart. I am really interested in finding out more about Elizabeth Lenhart and Randolph Burd more so than the Lenhart/Linhart's. I think they (Randolph Burd and Elizabeth Linhart) were from Westmorland County PA. The daughter of Randolph and Elizabeth Burd was Susannah born 1827. She is my gr gr grandmother and she married John F. GEARHART who was born 1825 in PA. I know nothing of Randolph Burd's siblings. I do know that John F. Gearhart who married Susannah Burd named one of his Children James Randolph Gearhart, and the brother of James Randolph Gearhart who was Charles Simon Gearhart named one of his daughters, Lura Burd Gearhart. That is all I know of the Randolph name in connection with the Burd name. Would love to find out more. thanks so much.
