Bruce, On Thomas Burch, purchaser of Rawson Farm in Ipswich...I honestly do not know at this point if this is tied in to my line, or not. Since my Thomas was married in 1717, I am assuming he was probably born between 1690-1697. That's about the sum total of what I can say with any sort of assurance. If you see a Jeremiah Burch/Birch floating around who could be of an age to be father of my Thomas, I would love to know where he was. Thanks for your help! Jan

Hi Jan: Not knowing who has answered you for certain on this, I do want to point out if nobody else has, the marriage of Thomas Burch and Sarah Smith 04 December 1714, the intention was not recorded in Mendon, so looking towards RI certainly looks like a good possibility. Same things goes for the marriage of Abigail Burch and John Crook married __ Mar 1751. Their marriage intention not recorded in Mendon either.
