According to my information: Valentine Ignatius Burch, b. Feb 14, 1813 KY, d. Nov 26, 1892 TX, had a son: James Burch, b. Oct 12, 1847, d. May 20, 1898, married Emma T. Fulton. They had children: Valentine Burch, b. Apr 20, 1873; Mary Ann Burch, b. Feb 27, 1878, mar. Henry T. Lavelle; Joseph Leo Burch, b. Nov 10, 1882, mar. Sarah Jane Willis; James Otto Burch, b. 1884. I wish I could help but I don't have a lot of details on the James Burch family. I've never heard of the name Laneson, being used in the Burch family before. I was searching through Ancestry.com - I'm not a paid member but am a contributor to my friend's subscription. I noticed the database of French/Burch/Hagg Family, and I saw the photo of what looks to be a young Valentine Ignatius Burch, b. Feb 14, 1813. I am surprised to see that photo as I would think that photography would not have been invented at the time when Valentine Burch, might have looked that young. Also, do you have any additional information concerning the Veterans photo on this site, that shows Valentine Burch? Valentine's brother, James Burch, who is my g-g-grandfather, is probably in this photo too, as they fought side by side. I would like to know if names, have been written on the back of this photo to identify the men in the photo. As to the children of Samuel Lewis Burch and Dorothea Brown, as listed in the French/Burch/Hagg Family, all of them would have been born before January of 1836, in Kentucky. Samuel and Dorothea Brown Burch, sold their KY lands in October of 1835, then came to TX. They may have arrived in December of 1835 in TX. Samuel and Dorothea had 9 children: Valentine Ignatius, Anne, James, Matilda, Catherine, Benedict John, Dorothea, Samuel Lewis Jr. and William H. Burch. I noticed that you refer to a Laneson V. Burch. I wondered if he was really named Lawson Valentine Burch - Lawson, because his mother's father was Robert Lawson Fulton. ----- Original Message ----- From: <gc-gateway@rootsweb.com> To: <BURCH-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Wednesday, January 26, 2011 5:49 PM Subject: Re: [BURCH] Valentine Burch > This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. > > Author: Robinfrenchjones > Surnames: > Classification: queries > > Message Board URL: > > http://boards.rootsweb.com/surnames.burch/110.576.1/mb.ashx > > Message Board Post: > > My 4th G Grand father was Valentine I Burch- then his son James B.
