Surnames: Burge Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/0VB.2ACI/797.1 Message Board Post: Actually if i am not mistaked what is now Stokes County was once part of Surry County not Rowan. I'm fairly sure about this, I am a currenty resident of Stokes County, my family traces back in Stokes County/ Surry County and some surrounding areas in Virginia, I think that we trace back to Alexander Burge, but i currently don't have access to that information, I know for a fact i am a decendant of Larkin Burge of Stokes County, I would suggest finding Marvin Burge on either this website, or geneology.com I found him very helpful, sincerely, Bradley Burge
