Hi Since the SC Burge families appear to be a 'hot' topic, I thought I'd post my version of the descendants of Burrell Burge. I really appreciate the dialog that's been happening on this list. Keep it up. I'm learning alot. I now BELIEVE and am trying to verify Burrell Burge's wife Elizabeth was a Ford, a sister to Nathaniel, Gardner, and Keziah (Ford) Peay, all descended from the southern SC Fords. Any opinions or comments on this? Tony Cox Coweta, OK ======================================= Descendents of Burrell Burge Generation No. 1 1.

In 1777 Burrell lived in SC (Ref. 2). 3. In 1790 Burrell lived in NC with 4 males under age 16 and 4 females (Ref. 3). 4. In 1797, Nancy was between the ages of 14 and 21 (Ref. 5). 5.

Duke "…my son…" 7 Feb 1837. 2. Kershaw Co., SC, Deedbook O, p 106, Conveyance, Moses Duke to Lewis Hogan. 3. Kershaw co., SC, Deedbook K, p 3-4 Conveyance, Thomas Salmonde to Moses Duke, Jr., 14 Nov 1821. 4. Kershaw Co., SC, Deedbook N, pp. 100-101, POA, Moses Duke to Bartlett S. Duke, 18 Dec 1833. Notes: 1. Except for Burrell, the proofs for Moses and Nancy's children are largely circumstantial, taken from family information and census lists. 2. Richard Duke appears next to Moses Duke on the 1830 Kershaw Co., SC census and has land adjacent to Moses Duke in AL when the family moves to AL/SC. 3. Austin Duke and family is listed on the backside of a bible page fragment that lists Burrell B. Duke and family. Family names are similar to the Bartlett Duke family. First son has Moses for middle name; other grandfather's name for first name. 4. Bartlett Duke and family always lived close to Moses Duke and Burrell Duke family in AL/MS. Given Power of Attorney by Moses (Ref 4) and was the Administrator of Moses Duke estate. Family heritage indicates Moses Duke was Bartlett's father. Bartlett's first son was named Moses. 5. Burrell B. Duke named as son of Moses Duke, Jr (Ref 1, 2, 3 combined). Letter written in 1906 by my g-grandfather Martain Duke indicates Moses was Burrell's father. Burrell's second son was named Moses. First son named after other grandfather. 6. Letter written by Martain H. Duke, dated 1906, names Sarah K Duke as Moses Duke's daughter. This is consistent with family tradition. First son named Moses. 7. The children 'fit' the Moses Duke family listed in the 1820 Kershaw Co., SC census. Generation No. 3 3. RICHARD4 DUKE (NANCY3 BURGE, BURRELL2, RICHARD1) was born Abt. 1804 in SC. He married MARTHA (MARY?) UNKNOWN Bef. 1825 in SC. Children of RICHARD DUKE and MARTHA UNKNOWN are: i. UNKNOWN GIRL1 DUKE, b. Abt. 1825, SC. ii. UNKNOWN BOY DUKE, b. Abt. 1830, SC. iii. UNKNOWN GIRL2 DUKE, b. 1830-1835, SC. iv. SARAH J. DUKE, b. Abt. 1845, AL. v. MOSES F. DUKE, b. Abt. 1847, AL. Notes: 1. Data taken from 1840, 1850, and 1860 AL census. No family information. 2. I believe the youngest boy is named after a first cousin of Richard's; Moses Duke Foster, not Moses Duke. 4.
