We are in the middle of a family crisis with my father, so have not been able to respond. Have a minute this afternoon so want to thank you for posting this. This is my family. I descend through William's son, John Ivers Burge and his wife, Martha Morford. My research on this line has not been extensive but I do have some additional information. Will put my comments in brackets. -----Original Message----- From: ztlcox@worldnet.att.net <ztlcox@worldnet.att.net> To: BURGE-L@rootsweb.com <BURGE-L@rootsweb.com> Date: Sunday, September 27, 1998 08:22 PM Subject: [BURGE-L] Burge data from Greene Co., PA >While searching for my elusive g-grandmother, Mary Ellen Allison, I >found these Burge listings.
