My recollection is that I did not have information on Increase Burch's father (I have seen Jeremiah Burch identified at various sites on the internet as Increase's father), but I won't know that until I can get into my files (which should be in a few months). Your information regarding the two brothers who died in the Civil War is more detailed, yet consistent, with the information that I had (which I believe came from a Missouri historical book's discussion of the Burch family). I will be happy to share with you whatever information I have. If you could send me any material and/or pictures for the Pike County, Iowa Burches, that would be appreciated. There are Burches living in Brookfield, Missouri (my Dad's hometown), who are descendents of James W. Burch, the brother of Samuel Burch. Samuel and James were John Burch'! s sons. It would be interesting to know what family information, if any, they might have, since Increase was the father of brothers John and Thomas.
