Do you know the relationship of the Rolan/Roland BURKS and Sally BURKS that you are researching? I am also researching a Roland Harrison BURKS, but he was not born until 1/10/1813. I am trying to connect him to the BURKS in Casey County, but nothing yet. I was in Casey Co. last month. In Casey County Marriage Bonds, 1808-1850, it says that Sally BURKS married Joshua SIMPSON on 12/9/1824. Also listed was a Polly BURKS who married George HILL on 11/20/1823. >From Casey County, KY 1806 Settlement and Early Development, compiled and edited by Gladys Cotham Thomas, 1983: A Roland BURKS appears on the 1814 Tax List of Casey Co. The household included, Whites over 21 - 1 Blacks over 16 - 2 Total Blacks - 7 Horses, mares, mules - 9 Total value - $2,464 >From the same book, the 1808 Tax List of Casey County includes Levi BURKES, Allen BURKS, Willie BURKES, and Willis BURKS. Also from the same book, I photocopied the 1807 Original Land Deeds and Tax Records (Commissioner's Book by James Allen, Casey, KY., South of Green River): Listed are Willis BURKS, Roland BURKS, George BURKE, and Levi BURKE. I have more Casey Co. BURKS info that I will try to post in more detail very soon. __________________________________ Sarah L.
