Surnames: Burke Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/RkG.2ACEB/3143.1 Message Board Post: My great-great grandfather was Samuel Burke. Don't know who his father is but we think he may be a descendant of James Burke. Hoping maybe you have some info. He married Mary Jarrett 1845 in Carroll Co TN. In 1850 they were in Henry Co TN. On one of the census it says he was born in Pennsylvania. It is believed by a few people that might have been a mistake by the census taker. It may have been Pittsylvania as Madison Burke and his sister are in Henry CO TN at this time and Samuel & Thompson Burke were in Trigg Co KY just across the state line. According to the census he was born between 1805-1814.
