ONCE MORE, I AM SENDING A "HELP" MESSAGE! I am searching for the parents and siblings of HUGH BURKE b 1789 in VA, married MARGARET HUFFMAN ca 1809. First 3 children were Sally, Joseph Hudson (mine) and John b in VA, moved to BLOUNT CO., TN where Rachel, William, Emily, Hugh H, and Elizabeth were born. Moved to MURRAY CO., GA (was changed to WHITFIELD when divided). HUGH died in 1855. There were 2 more daughters who married a REED and a DANIEL. Nina
Hello, listers, I have little information about my gggrandfather, Michael Burke, b. 1823 in Ireland, and his brother Jerry. Their father was supposed to have owned a shoe store, and Michael was a miller in Virginia and later in Washington County, Md. The name of the mill was Worley's or Morley's. (The name comes from an old typed memoir with a smudged capital letter.) While Michael married and settled in Greencastle, Franklin Co., PA and then moved to Nebraska with his wife and children, Jerry remained in Maryland. I do not know his wife's name, but he had several children: Mollie, Jerome, and Helen are the only namees I know. Supposedly, one son did very well in real estate in Texas and California, and Burkeville, CA was supposedly named after him. Would love to connect with someone who knows about Michael and Jerry's ancestors. Barbara Archer
