All I have is that my great great grandmother Eunice Burch b: 31 Jan. 1813 in NY state; d: 3 April 1905 in Miami County, Ohio. She married in NY state in the year 1830 to William Riley Bard. Between 1830 and 1834, they moved from NY state to Miami County, Ohio. I located on Ancestry.com data on the following Burch's that I believe could be related to my Eunice but have yet to prove it. Joseph Burch b: 1790 NY state Barton Burch b: 1804 NY state Zebulon Burch b: 1809 NY state Their parents were Zebulon and Unice. The 3 Burch brothers were living in Miami County, Ohio for a while before moving onto Mercer County, Ohio. I know for a fact that they were living in Miami County, Ohio in 1835 because I found the State census for that period and found Joseph, Barton, William Bard, and Zebulon living close to each other. Plus the fact that their mother's name was Unice and my g,g-grandmother's name was Eunice, leads me to think there is a connection. Maybe there is a connection to the above Burch's to your Burch. I am having a difficult time proving the connections if you find that there is a relationship to your and my Burch will you please contact me. Deborah
