His parents were: Joseph Burch II, Revolutionary Soldier, who was killed by the Indians in Irwin County, Georgia, in the spring of 1818; and last wife Gilley Willcox, or Miss Gilley. Henry Burch married in Montgomery Co., GA, April 25 1835 Aleithia Buchanan, called "Leatha" or Leathy." pg 86: "Nellie Burch was born about 1816 or 1817, thought she is listed in "1850 Census" as being "30 years" old. This would have made her birth date in 1820, which was impossible. . . . Nellie married Benjamin Guest (or Guess), about the year 1839, probably." pg 88-9: "Eleanor burch (called Ellen) was born in Montgomery County, Georgia, in 1818, probably after her father's death. She was living in Montgomery County, Georgia at the 1850 census, with two sons." . . . . The author has been unable to find anything concerning the death of Joseph Burch's last wife. She must have died when her daughter Eleanor was a few years old, for Eleanor went, when a small child, to live with theJames Alston family in Monroe county, GA, and remained with them until she married. . . . Eleanor Burch, born 1818, married in Monroe County, Georgia, January 7, 1836 Benjamin Franklin fuller, who evidently died in Early County, GA prior to Aug. 27, 1850, when the census was made."
