I looked over the info I had on the Burches and have just a few notes I've gathered, some from previous message board posts which you probably already have. Maybe you have more info om them. Regarding the presence of Charles Burch, brother of Joseph Burch II, in Georgia, I had a note that a Charles Burch founded the Burke County Georgia Rangers in 1781. This Charles Burch would have been too old to be a son of Joseph II. Do you think this could have been his brother and possibly the father of my Littleberry? Whoever posted this said that Charles' brother Edward also belonged to the Rangers but they may have been confusing this Charles with the son of Joseph II. In the 1805 Georgia land lottery, lottery draws were given to three different Charles Burches: Charles, Charles Sr. and Charles Jr. Other Burches given draws were Edward, Gerrard Jr., Jared, John, Joseph, and William. I also had a note that Joseph II reportedly had a total of 23 children by four different wives. I have never seen a list of all 23 children nor the names of all four wives. Perhaps this is a "family legend". That's why I wondered if he could have also had a son named Littleberry, in addition to his son Alfred Littleberry. I believe there was some close connection between my Littleberry Burch and the Wright family. (He's actually not mine, he's my son-in-law's gggg-grandfather). In addition to the use of Wright as Seaborn's middle name, when Seaborn Burch applied for his Civil Was pension in 1900, he named a W. A. Wright of Fulton County, as his power of attorney. A couple of years later he changed his power of attorney to someone else so perhaps W. A. Wright died during that time. Do you have any info in your Wright database on who this may have been and what the connection could have been to Littleberry Burch. I found a record of a marriage on May 15, 1845 in Washington County between Littleberry Burch and Margaret Wade. Do you know who this Littleberry was? Thank you for the information you provided. Hope to be talking to you further. Judy Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
