    1. Re: Robert Simms Burch
    2. Hi Jason. After Rem's great information about Robert S. Burch being a law partner of Alexander H. Stephens, I did a search and came up with the two articles below. I think the date of the second article might help prove that her gr. grandmother was born in Taliaferro Co., probably in Crawfordville. The Augusta Chronicle and Sentinel Saturday Morning, January 30 1841 STEPHENS & BURCH Attorneys At Law Crawfordville, Geo. Will practice in the counties of Taliaferro, Greene, Hancock, Oglethorpe, Wilkes, Warren, Elbert and Lincoln. ALEXANDER H. STEPHENS ROBERT S. BURCH Jan 14-ly The following article seems to show that this partnership must have split up at some point before January 1845. The Augusta Chronicle and Sentinel Saturday Morning, January 4, 1845 LAW NOTICE - ROBERT S. BURCH will attend punctually to any professional business entrusted with him in the counties of Taliaferro, Hancock, Warren, Wilkes, Lincoln, Oglethorpe and Greene. Crawfordville, Jan. 17, 1844. Note: there is some confusion re: this second article. The date it appeared in the paper is Jan. 4, 1845 but the last line of the article shows Jan. 17, 1844. I checked for an article that might have appeared on the 1844 date, but did not come up with one. Hope this helps some. Rhoda
