First: my Hugh Burke wasn't born until probably the early 1830's so he's not Nina's Hugh Burke. First record I find of him is marriage. On August 31, 1852 he married Christina "Margaret" Livingston in Scioto County, Ohio. Their first born was Christina A. Burke, my great grandmother. She was born October 29, 1853 at Blooms Furnace (the date and place from a slip of paper found in Margaret (Livingston) Burke's Bible) They also had a son named Hugh who was born April 13, 1855 at Mt. Vernon Furnace. (Lawrence Co. OH) Then they had a son named William born November 22, 1856 at Mt. Vernon Furnace. They had a son named Frank b. March 25, 1866 and who died July 23, 1866, but the piece of paper did not give the location. Same for Robert who was born October 23, 1868 and died September 31, 1871. No birthplace was listed for him either. And although the writer of this slip of paper (I suspect Margaret wrote the list) did not list the other children on this piece of paper for reasons unknown, but they also had (for certain) Duncan C. Burke who lived with my grandparents in the years before he died (when my mother was young). Duncan's headstone has that he was born 1860 and died 1940 in West Mountain, Upshur County, Texas. He died when my mother was 20. And Hugh and Margaret also had Charlie Stuart Burke, b. 1873, not listed on the piece of paper, and he married a woman named Jenny. My mother remembers that Uncle Duncan, who lived with them, used to go visit his brother, Charlie, in Colorado every now and then when she was a child and she remembers that Charlie's wife was named Jenny. Mom's grandmother, Christina (Burke) Sobey, who was Duncan and Charlie's sister, had an extremely faded photo of Charlie as a boy seated in a chair--so young his feet did not touch the floor and on the back it read it was made by a photographer in Ironton, Ohio. I think that means Hugh and Margaret stayed in Lawrence Co until at least 1876. I do not find them in the 1880 Census. Anywhere. According to photos I've found, I knew there may have been a son named John L. Burke who is in a photo with Duncan and "Bill" (William) labeled "The Burke Boys". Then I found him listed as a son in the 1860 Census and proved that theory. I halfway suspect the L. will stand for Livingston, but have no proof of that yet. Of Christina's siblings, the only one I've found anything on that I am comfortable with is Charlie Stuart Burke who applied for a military pension in 1935 in Colorado. I haven't yet found these records but this was in the index: From the El Paso Pension Index: Burke, Charlie Stuart Pension # 4835 Yr. 1935 I also found a Charlie Stuart Burke and a Jenny Burke buried in the Crystal Valley Cemetery in El Paso County, which butts up against Douglas County where Frank Perry Sobey went. Frank was his sister's brother in law. In that same cemetery is a "Ted" E.L. Burke. Not certain yet that E. L. Burke was Charlie's son, but it seems likely since they are buried not far from each other in the same library. E.L. was born May 21, 1892 and died January 13, 1956. As for my great-grandmother Christina A. Burke, she married William H. Sobey (family is divided as to what the H. stood for, some say Hugh and some say Henry) on November 17, 1887 in Kimball, Brule County, South Dakota. The had the following children: Effie Sobey John Hugh Sobey <<<<my grandfather Elizabeth Sobey William H. Sobey Jr. Some of the family may have gone to Ashland and Lexington Kentucky because that's written on the back of some of the family photos of unidentified people. There was also mention of a Straightsville, Ohio and Cascade, Iowa. Anyone have further info on this group?? -- Rosalyn Alsobrook [email protected] http://home.earthlink.net/~ralsobrook/

I beleive there were 10 children 6 boys and 4 girls. One of the girls name was Mary Margaret and may have been the youngest girl. She was born about 1944, and was very close to her older sister who was about 3 years older than she. Any information about this family and where they could be contacted would be appreciated.

In (late) response to the BURKE roll call... here's my scanty information on the BURKEs in my line. All info is assumed to be for Buffalo, NY or the surrounding area. Frank J. BURKE, probably born in Buffalo, d. 1912 - 1920. He married Elisabeth PLUMB, born in England 1860 - 1870. They may have had more children, but all I know for certain is Arthur BURKE, b. August 03, 1900. He married Ethel Elizabeth RILEY, born July 28, 1902. They had two children, one who died at birth, and Margaret Mary BURKE, March 29, 1922. -Maggi in Michigan

I have an Edward BURKE (b7-12-1792 VA) who married Elizabeth FARRIS. They had moved to Franklin Co., TN by the birth of William Palmore BURKE in 1825. Not sure there is a tie with your Hugh, but the time period and location fit as a possibility of siblings or some other family tie.

Janet, About a month ago you sent the following message to the Burke list on Rootsweb. I could not fully understand it, but some of it caught my eye, and made me wonder if there might be a connection to one branch of my line. A Mary or Mollie Burke (b. 19 Mar 1841 in GA; d. 19 Jan 1892 in Kaufman Co. TX) was married to John Milton Dellis (b. 6 Oct 18212 in TN; d. 23 Jan, 1892 in Kaufman Co. TX); she was probably his second or third wife. She is called Mary in the 1870 census in Anderson Co. TX, and is called Mollie in the 1880 census in Kaufman Co. TX. In that 1880 census it indicates that both John's and Mollie's parents were born in TN; also living in the household with them was a brother-in-law named Joseph Burke, age 24, who was born in AR, whose father was born in TN and whose mother was born in AL. The similarity of the names Mollie and Joseph Burke, and the connections to GA and Anderson Co. TX, make me wonder whether they might be part of the same larger family of Burkes. What do you think?
