Hi List, I figured since we merged I'd repost my info maybe someone new will have something! I'm searching for BURKE's of Pittsburg. My info so far is sketchy, my great gram was Mary BURKE (very common, I know!) she was born abt 1902 in Pittsburg. Her father was Thomas BURKE, another common name. He had to have been born at least by 1880. I THINK he was married to a Matilda WAGNER but I know that he had a brother named Martin who was murdered in East Liberty Pittsburg during prohibition. Apparently they were bootlegging. The family also owned the first nickelodein (movie house) in Pittsburg as well as a bar/resturant named New Era. I believe that the father of Thomas and Martin was also named Martin and he was born in Ireland but not 100% sure. Any help greatly appreciated!! Shelly

>From Micorfilm , Iowa, Wayne Co. Bk #184.Biographical Sketches "JOSHUA BURK, section 12, Benton Township, is one of the prominent and prosperous farmers of the township. Locating on his farm in 1871 he has for fifteen years been identified with the agricultural interests of Wayne County, and has by his enterprise and good manamement made for himself one of the pleasantest homes in the township. His farm contains 127 acres of choice land, and his residence and farm buildings are models of convenience and comfort. He was born in Butler County, Ohio, May 4, 1830, a son of MOSES L. and REBECCA (LEMON) BURK. Jan. 1836 his parents moved to Dunlapsville, Union County, Indiana, and subsequently to Montgomery County, the same State. His father was a farmer and a merchant, and he in his youth assisted in the work of both the farm and store. When a young man he clerked in stores in Lafayette and New Richmond, Indiana, several years, and then for two years engaged in business for himself near New Richmond. He then engaged in farming for a time, and for three winter terms taught school, and was assessor in Montgomery County, Indiana, four years. He came to Iowa in October, 1869, and lived newr New York, Wayne County, a year and a half, moving to his farm where he now lives in the spring of 1871. Mr. Burk was married september 7, 1854, to Sarah L., daughter of Charles and Mary (McCaw) Forbes. They have had a family of five children. the eldest, Mary E., died at the age of seventeen years. the living are--Edward s., Barbara A., Rebecca A. and Charles A. the youngest son, Charles A., although but ten years of age, displays wonderful musical talent, both vocal and instrumental, his voice being remarkably fine for one of his age. Mr. and Mrs. Burk are members of the Methodist Episcopal church. His greatgrandfather, Moses Lemmon, was a soldier in the war of the Revolution." I have much more information on this branch of the BURKs although they are not mine. My JOSHUA BURK is from an entierely different family.

Yes! Please merge the lists. My ancestor William Burk b. 1748 had sons who used Burk, Burke, Bourk, AND Bourke. And I don't mean that each one chose one spelling or the other and stuck to it. Some of them switched back and forth during their own lifetimes. As far as I'm concerned, they're all the same name. Pat Riley
