Hi All, Margrett and Ken have recently published some fact filled messages here regarding the James Burke of Burke's Garden - Thank you! Of course now I have some questions. According to this info James was born in Goochland (Ken) or Orange (Ken and Margrett) County. But Goochland wasn't formed until 1728 and Orange wasn't formed until 1734 and James was born c1710. How is this reconciled? Would appreciate the sources for these birth locations. What I have had up to this point is Limerick, Ireland with an immigration (with his father) c1722. Admittedly I don't have a particularly good source for this info. Previously, I've had info that James had seven or eight children by Molly (but not all of their names) and no info on children with Lucretia. Also I have info that James' will mentions eight children (unfortunately I don't yet have a copy of the will to see for myself). Both Ken and Margrett say "at least 10". Ken says John and Edward are two sons - Margrett says one son is John Edward who mostly went by Edward. Is there a possibility that there is only one here who is John Edward? Again, any source info appreciated. I previously had two unnamed daughters - one married to William Brookshire and the other married to a Coleman - as well as Mary married to Joseph Murphy. Did Mary marry twice? Is the marriage to Joseph Murphy in error? Ken says there's a daughter Rebecca. Did she marry either Brookshire or Coleman? Any clarification of the foregoing would be much appreciated. My sources are primarily the work done by Dr Kelly plus that by Patricia Givens Johnson with other bits here and there. I'd be glad to share any details I have if anyone wants. Thanks for your help! Ray Green ==== BURK Mailing List ==== REMINDER ! ! !
