Thank you Heather for sending the list of Burke's from your book. I see one did serve in the Army Paymaster General's Dept. altho it was 25 years before my Henry was born. Does this look to you like Capt. Edmund Burke would have been there about that time (1823)? What would the numbers in brackets refer to? Thanks again for your trouble.
