I am virtually certain that he is a direct ancestor of mine. He had a number of brothers (Martin being one, I think, as indicated in a previous reply to your post) that can be traced back to Onondaga County, New York. I believe that he also had a son named John Burch in Pike County, Indiana. John was a Union officer in the Civil War. I have a picture of him in uniform. He moved to north central Missouri and died there. Some of his descendants still live in the same general area (specifically, Brookfield, Missouri).
