The information I have on her are as follows. I would love to have any additional names you have. The Clerk's Fee Book for 1924 listed James S. Mountcastle as guardian for Lucretia D. Burch. Since Mary A. Mountcastle was born in 1827 (when she was 19), I believe this James S. was either her husband or father-in-law. The Henrico Marriage Bonds show bond for John C. Day to Mrs. Lucretia Mountcastle with David Burch as surety. Also shows bond of Isabella Mountcastle to John N. Burch. Her mother Lucretia Day gives consent, John C. Day attests for his age. 1850 census P 306, #235 (462) Day, John C. 53 m Lucretia 42 f Catherine 18 f Mountcastle, Mary A 23 f Andrew 9 m 1860 Census p 799 (1015/1036) Burch, John N. 35 Carpenter 1600 200 Va Isabella 27 George F. 9 John N. 4 Andrew O. 1 Day, Lucretia 52 Mountcastle, Andrew H. 20 Tinner 1870 Census Burch (397) John N. 44 carpenter 1200 300 Isabelle 36 George F. 19 Andrew O. 10 School John N. 13 School Lucretia Day 62 A.
