Seeking information about the family of Isaac A. BURCH, born 1838 in IN, married Mary M. SCHOONOVER in 1858, and migrated to Salina, KS about 1870. Isaac was a son of James BURCH, born 1798 in KY, and married Mary BUCKLES in 1831. I believe that James and Mary had many children, but I only know of Isaac, Moses, and Charles. Any information about any of these people will be greatly appreciated. Art Burch -- [email protected]

Hello Fox and Burch lists, I am in need of help on the following excerps from Brunswick County, Va. Deed Books: 250-296 Charles Kimball planter of St. Andrews Parish in Brunswick County to RICHARD FOX of same. 1 Sept 1736 5 Shillings: A 1 year lease for 550 acres on the south side of Roanoke River. Wit: Wm. Maclin, William Wynne, RICHARD BURCH, proved 4 November 1736. Drury Stith-cc(chain carrier) 576-269 RICHARD BURCH names son JOHN in St. Andrews Parrish. QUESTION 1: Is the RICHARD FOX in the above re: Brunswick County, the same RICHARD FOX of Mecklenburg County, VA.? QUESTION 2: Are the RICHARD BURCH and his son JOHN mentioned in both documents, part of the same BURCH family who settled in Person and Caswell County, NC.? I do hope that those of you who are familiar with these families are receiving your FOX and BURCH postings are able to bring up some significant data to help me on this. Any bit of information could be of great importance to me, so don't assume that what you may know will not be of significance. Best regards, John Fox Winston Salem,NC

No, I haven't done any searching in NC, but it certainly wouldn't be unheard of. At least one of James Burch HARRELL's children - the second, Elizabeth T(homas?) HARRELL - was born in SC. As for my DRAKEs, I don't think there's any connection there. As far as I can tell, my DRAKEs emigrated from somewhere in England to Brooklyn, NY in the 1870s or '80s.

Gary Young >> Hi Gary, I am interested in the Burch family of Caswell and Person Counties. I have been attempting to gather some kind of understanding of all of the Burches who seemed to have settled the region about the same time. There is a collection of Burch data located in the Clerk of Court's Office in Caswell County, NC. Burch Blaylock was head of that office back in the 1950/1960's; he gleaned information from every researcher who visited the courthouse, and also included newspaper clippings and other data which pertained to Caswell County families. As I recall, some of the Burches came from a Tory who had served in the region during the Revolutionary War, and decided after the war to remain and make Caswell his home; others seem to have come from some of the surrounding counties of NC and from VA. I know that Nicholas Burch bought the land on which my earliest Fox ancestor had lived; a Phillip Burch apprenticed his son, my ancestor, about 1809; Henry Burch apprenticed another Fox son, William, on the same date. Phillip's wife was an ancestral aunt from my Hargis family of the same area. I will be glad to discuss any information which I have gleaned on this family. Best regards, John Fox Winston Salem, NC

In researching my BURCH family, I noticed that the TX Birth Records - 1926 to 1949, show: BURCH, Salita Fauline, b. 8-18-1935 in Bexar Co., TX, and her parents were Fauline Sanders and George Davidson Burch.

Would like to make contact with any descendants of this Burch line, as to verify that the info in the TX record, is the same person as in my records. Thanks for your time. Sallie Cannon

Searching for descendant of a George W. Burch, born about 1810 in North Carolina; the son of William Burch and Elizabeth (Ukn. last name... of course.) His siblings were: Henry L.

I'm still searching for information on the parents and/or siblings of my 3rd gr grandfather, John C. Burch. He was probably related to some of these North Carolina Burch's. I've located him on the 1850 Randolph Co. AL census but can't find him on any earlier ones. He died in 1858 in Randolph Co. Alabama. Wife was Mary Ann Burroughs (born in NC, 1824). His children were Littleberry (b 1845), James Ceburn (b 1848), Edward Anderson (b 1849), Martha Sousan (1851-1853), and William Thomas (b abt. 1855).

In 1778 he took the Oath of Allegiance in Island Creek District of Granville Co., N.C. By 1784 he was a taxable in St. Luke's District of Caswell Co., N.C. In 1797 he was Administrator of the estate of John Shearman. In 1799 he used an agent to sell land he owned in Russell Co., Va., the deed giving no evidence how he came to own this property. William Dollarhide was his agent for the sale. Pemberton died in 1802 in Caswell Co.,N.C. Did he have children? >> Hello Gary, I am most interested in your Burch connections. My ancestor, John Fox, of Person County, NC was apprenticed to a Phillip Burch of Person County, NC; John's brother, William, was apprenticed to a Henry Burch, also of Person. I have assumed that the two Burch men were brothers. Henry was married to an Elizabeth Dollarhide, as I recall, and eventually moved westward. Phillip was married to Mary "Polly" Hargis, daughter of Shadrack Hargis of Caswell County, NC, the part that was later changed to Person. As far as I can determine, Phillip and his wife had no children, at least who survived to adulthood. A Janey Burch was married to a John Crisp, and had a son named Richard Crisp, who served as bondsman when William Fox married in 1820. I have assumed that Janey was perhaps a sister to Henry and Phillip, as she seemed to be of the same generation. According to my research, In Deed Book D Person County, page 243, John Miles of Caswell County deeded to Nicholas Burch, for $80, 53 1/2 acres on Double Creek of Hico adjacent to Goodrich Jones, Adam McNealy, James McMurry, Herndon Harrel, Robert Huston - said tract where Wm. E. Fox formerly lived and sale ordered by court. 29 November 1809, Wit: Baylor Burch, Daniel Carney, Joshua Carney. You will note that this sale involved the land of my ancestor, William Eires Fox, father to John Fox who was apprenticed to Phillip Burch. I feel that Nicholas, Baylor, Phillip, Henry, and Janey were part of the same family, perhaps sibilings. I would very much appreciate any assistance which you might be able to provide, as I consider Phillip to be very much a part of my John Fox's family, as John lived with them or near them even after Phillip had died. John married a niece of Mary Hargis Burch, Lucy Hudgins, whose mother was Nancy Hargis Hudgins, wife of Thomas Hudgins, of Person County, NC. A researcher of at least one Burch line of Caswell County, NC, was Burch Blaylock, clerk of court for Caswell County for many years, during the 1950's to the 1980's. Mr. Blaylock collected all kinds of data during his tenure, and pasted items into scrapbooks which are a wealth of genealogical data for the family researcher. These are housed in the Clerk of Court's Office in Caswell County, NC. I will look foward to hearing from you, and from any Burch researchers who are following any of the line which you seem to be following. Best regards, John Fox Winston Salem, NC

Does anyone know anything about Pemberton Burch who was born no later than 1757, perhaps much earlier? In 1778 he took the Oath of Allegiance in Island Creek District of Granville Co., N.C. By 1784 he was a taxable in St. Luke's District of Caswell Co., N.C. In 1797 he was Administrator of the estate of John Shearman. In 1799 he used an agent to sell land he owned in Russell Co., Va., the deed giving no evidence how he came to own this property. William Dollarhide was his agent for the sale. Pemberton died in 1802 in Caswell Co.,N.C. Did he have children?

In 1778 several Burch males, all over 21 years of age, took the Oath of Allegiance in Island Creek District of Granville Co., N.C. They were: Pemberton Burch, William Burch, Henry Burch, and Nicholas Burch. It appear probable that some of these men moved into Caswell Co--at least Pemberton Burch. By 1790 on Nicholas Burch seems to remain in Island Creek District. Evidence suggests Nicholas was born before 1726. Who were his children?
