Burdettes. I've been working with Doug Burdette on the Burns Burdette line in SC. Is this the same one? My Humphrey Burdette from VA moved to Wilkes Co., GA along with his grown sons 1780-1787. Some of them settled over the line in SC and stayed about 20 years before moving to GA. And some of those had kids that stayed in SC making the tracing more difficult since all the kids names didn't show up on census records that early. The only brother I know for sure that stayed in SC is Stratton Burdette. Humphrey died before 1820 in Wilkes Co., Ga. We believe his parents were Humphrey Burdette d. 1785 VA & Mary Kent. There are several other Humphrey Burdettes up in VA and we've not been able to untangle all of them yet to know who was who. My Humphrey died Wilkes Co. had sons Thomas, John, James, Samuel Littleberry, Humphrey, Stratton from his first marriage & Joshua, William, Benjamin from his second--though Joshua could be a first marriage child.
