I have at least one Kentuckiana connection and maybe two. I'm descended from James Alexander Burks through his daughter, Nancy Ann Hestefine Burks. Nancy Ann's husband was James Brackett, son of Benjamin Brackett, who was probably from the same region. Please let me know if you have further information on either of the Burks or Brackett families.
