This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Author: PeggySCahill Surnames: Burch Lawrence Ritter Classification: queries Message Board URL: http://boards.rootsweb.com/surnames.burch/189.318.1.1/mb.ashx Message Board Post: I am not an expert in the Burches, though there are some out there, and I have some data from them, but I have lost some of what I had. I do know that the William Henry Burch who was married to Mary Ann Lawrence had a son named after him, William Henry Burch, who married Elizabeth Ritter, and he was in the Revolutionary War. He was quite young at the time, having been born in 1764, so it is possible and even likely that the father, WH Burch, Senior, also was in the war, but I do not have the data. I have seen records of the WH Burch, Junior's service in the Rev. War. (pension record with his wife Elizabeth Ritter's hand on it) Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
