I am researching Burkes from Neshoba County. Stephen G Burkes ans Mary Adcock were listed in 1870 Beat 5 Neshoba County and 1880 Attala County around Zama.Stephen had 2 brothers(known)Silas who married Martha Woodall and is buried at Providence, and John W who married Annie Brezeale and is buried at Tabernacle beside Stephen. Family story has it that their father died in Kemper County in 1845-1850 or so. Buried in a family cemetary not at a church. His wife remarried and moved on to Neshoba County and is buried in the city cemetary. Stephen was living as a laborer on a Johnson's farm in 1860 not far from Sam Adcock's family. There is also another Burkes (Harrison J )living nearby. All 3 Burkes served in the 40th Co G during the Cival War. Stephen, Silas, and John were in Neshoba County in 1870.I can find no record of Harrison J. However, children and mother with same name and birthdays were listed with Sam and Huldah Adcock in 1870.Mother's name was Martha.and listed as Sam and Huldah's daughter. Stephen, Silas, and John all moved to Attala County before 1890.Stephen's children were Stephen Samuelson(Emily Victoria Burnley), Mary, Martha,Jane(Robert E Jones),Nancy(Harvey Hester),Huldah(Bill Fleming), Silas(Mollie Bailey) and James (Sarah Yates,later married to a Jennings).Silas had several children most of whom never married. John had 2 daughters Dovie and Tocial Both of these girls married Burchfields.-Does any of this strike a chord with your work?---- Original Message ----- From: Peter Zanier <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Tuesday, August 29, 2000 10:27 PM Subject: [BURK] [BURKE] William Hoslin Burkes 1818 AL>MS > William Hoslin Burkes > b.
