Burks, farmer and stock raiser, Section 34, was born on the 10th of June, 1814. His father, Allen Burks, a native of Virginia, was by occupation a hatter and a farmer, and lived to the age of 93 years. His mother, formerly Elizabeth Townsend, was born in South Carolina, near the town of Charleston. Allen spent his boyhood days on a farm, and received the benefits of a common school education. He accompanied his parents to Putnam County, Indiana, in 1828, and remained there until 1830, when he immigrated west, and settled near Weston, Platte County, Missouri. After living there for seven years, he returned to Putnam County, Indiana, but came back to Missouri in the fall of 1855, and settled in Clarke County; thence to Hancock County, Illinois, in the fall of 1865, and from there to Nodaway County, Missouri, in the spring of 1873, locating where he now resides. He owns 174 acres of fine bottom land, upon whi! ch is a neat residence, with a fine view of the City of Maryville. His farm is well watered by springs, and stocked with different grades of stock. Mr. Burks is a member of the Masonic fraternity. Politically, he is a Greenbacker. He has been twice married. First, about the year 1836, to Miss Elizabeth Chadd. She died in the fall of 1855, and left five children, three of whom are now living: John H., born October 28, 1838; David C., born September 27, 1842, and Ruth C., born September 15, 1848, (now Mrs. I.

Notes for James Chadd: Gilbert Crossan's notes state: "James Chadd, the youngest son, who lived to be an old man, and died about 1900. Ruth Wright, his daughter, corresponded with mother till she died." A James Chadd, 21, b. IN, is shown on 1850 Putnam Co., IN Census, with wife Marinda, 18, b. IN. Is this the son of Daniel and Ruth? He could be the 1 male under 5 shown in the 1830 Census with Daniel and Ruth, being b. 1829, say, and Samuel we know was b. 2 Oct 1830, undoubtedly after the census was taken. If so, Gilbert would be in error that James was the youngest son. Child of James Chadd is: 15 i. Ruth3 Chadd. She married Unknown Wright45.
