It seems some of you are a bit confused about the My Family.com web-site of the Burk's from Laurens Co. SC. There are other Burk/Burks/Burke My.Family web-site and this one (ours) just separates the many. The Line of Burks that most are connected with came from our (dead-ended) James Burk b.ca.1759 and Barbara (Barbary/Barberry)Briggs and their descendents, NOW: that does not mean we are not very actively researching, where our James came from and from who. Possibilities are: James Burke ca1710 VA. (The James Burke of Burke's Garden) and any of his Br's or son's. another possible is the Samuel Burks that marries Mary Davis VA.(descendent of Opechancanough the Powhatan Indian uncle of Pocahontas. and one of the four (possibly 3 brothers) that first appear in VA. in the mid 1740's ( William, Thomas, Charles, and James ???) I feel very STRONGLY that there is a connection between the James Burke and our James Burk ca.1759. and with one or all of the three or four brothers. The whole purpose is to try and figure it out.
