I personally haven’t had the chance to do any first-generation research on this family, but it kind of sits right with me that W. B. Burch was mistaken on this one." If Mary Hollendsworth was his mother, Joseph Burch Jr and Elizabeth Thomas were half brother and sister. I also find this unlikely, but who knows.(See:http://familytreemaker.genealogy.com/users/d/e/w/Angela-Seddinger-Dew/WEBSITE-0001/UHP-0491.html?Welcome=1019950292 ) Our Joseph Burch Jr. was born on April 24, 1775 and died on March 12, 1818
