I have found the family in the 1840 census (Barry, MO) and 1850 (Bates, MO). Wife was Mary *1820 in VA. Children are Elizabeth *1838; John *1839; Monroe *1841; Sarah *1844; Squire Polk *1845; George D. *1846; Jasper * 1848; James P. *1850; Ransom *1856; Nancy *1858; all born MO. I found Mary in the 1870 and 1880 censuses in Pleasant Gap, Bates Co, MO. My husband's ancestor is George D. Burch, m. Ann Eliza Anderson in Henry Co, MO and removed to Bates Co, MO. In the 1850 census, Squire's birthplace is VA, although in subsequent censuses, his children consistently have TN as the birthplace of their father. Any possible connections please contact me.
