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?
