First time posting the following: >From Marriage Extract - Ontario. My Great Grandparents: Place of Marriage: Toronto Date: Oct. 10, 1871 Catherine Dwyer Burke: age 18; born Dover, England d/o Michael and Mary Burke Dover,England religion: Church of England Richard Lawrence Brennan: age 26; b. West Point N.Y. religion: Church of England s/o William and Ann Brennan West Point, N.Y. Does anyone have them in their files? 1. Can't seem to locate records in either area, even though we know for certain that R.L. Brennan had 1 brother Henry; 3 sisters Alice, Grace and Daisy. All born West Point. Henry was instructor at West Point Military Academy. R.L. received USA vets' pension. Said to have been in Boer and Civil wars. More likely the latter going by date of birth (1844-45) Found some data on Civil War Page thanks to a Civil War researcher. 2. Catherine's Father said to have been a shipping merchant in England. How does one check that out? 2 other daughters: 1- (Ellen married a lawyer in Muskoka area.) 3. Nothing coming up on either of their sisters. ALSO: 4. 2 of their sons: William born Ontario aft. 1871 moved to Helena Montana, later Missoula, then apparently to Butte. Have been trying to locate his family for 2 years without luck. Ditto for son Hubert who moved to New York, died there. Both had families. Where are they? Anyone have them? Thanks Aileen

Searching for Felix Burke, b. c1830, m Margaret Ryan b. c1834, Ireland. Emigrated to US from Ontario, Canada in 1850s. Were in Canandaigua, NY area in 1860s. She died 1899 in Rochester, NY. Children included Ellen, Frank, John, Michael, Jenny, Joseph and Arthur. Dick Lombard

James Burke is mentioned for the first time in Augusta County, VA records in 1742, when he was a member of George Robinson’s Company. He was the discoverer of Burke’s Garden, and is frequently mentioned in local histories of that region (Tazewell County, VA). He was born in either Goochland or Orange County, Virginia. He was a member of the survey party of Colonel Thomas L. Preston in the fall of 1748, when heavy snow forced them to break camp and delay their work for a year. James was reportedly one of the cooks and prior to the move had buried some potato peelings. When the party returned the next spring, a potato patch was growing. (Thus Burke’s Garden had its name.) According to Volume one of “Adams Ancestors,” by Thomas Nathan Clark James’ father was John Burke, an immigrant from Ireland. He had a brother William who was born about 1715 and died 24 April 1754 in Augusta Co., VA. He married first, Mary “Polly” Bane in Chester County, Pennsylvania on July 11, 1730. He married secondly, prior to August 29, 1751, Lucretia, widow of Methuselah Griffith. She was evidently Lucretia (Rees) Griffith, as Pennsylvania Archives (Series II, vol. 8, p. 107 states; “Methusalem Griffith and Lyky Reec” were married in Christ Church, Philadelphia, February 2, 1730/31. James and Lucretia Burke were residents of Cumberland County, North Carolina, in 1760, and later moved to Surry County, North Carolina, where his will, dated November 4, 1782, was recorded February 1783. James had at least ten children, James Jr., Sarah, Benjamin, Joseph, Mary, Naomi, John, Edward, Thomas, and Rebecca. In Edward W. Phifer Jr.’s book, “Burke - The History of a North Carolina County 1777-1920” copywrite 1977, James Burkes is listed as a settler on 200 acres of land on the south side of the Catawba River on Drowning Creek in 1778-79 in Burke County, NC. (This is possibly a different James.) ==== BURK Mailing List ==== NOTICE !!!!

With all of this recent talk of early BURKEs, I thought I would throw my people in the mix. I am looking for Edward BURKE, b7-12-1792 VA who married Elizabeth FARRIS. They had at least one child, William Palmore BURKE. Does anyone know if this fit in with any of the lines that are being discussed?

The best I know of our Burks, (James Burk b. 1759 NC.) were all here prior to your Mary3Kelly(Anne2 Mullany, Charles1) b. 1867. It looks like the father of our James arrived in the US in about 1720's-40's (If in fact he was not born in the US.)

In one set of paper I have it says James married Lucretia Rees, Griffith. Widow of Mathusalem Griffith prior to Aug. 29,1751. On notes of some of the children of James Burkes' it would show some of the children born after 1751. example John Edward was born in 1756. Does anyone have further info on this??

I got mine from an inter Library loan, at my Local Library. It's a very small book. It deals with the authors research of the descendents of James Burke " Burke's Garden" He takes the Burkes back to Scamander. King of Troy. in the Land of Ancient city of Troy in prehistoric times in what is now northwestern Turkey. It is a great history of the Burke's, but at this time I have totally discounted it as connecting to my line of Burks, (James 1759 NC. to ca. 1804 SC.) unless he is a son of a brother or son of this James Burke.
