Hello, Milly: I have been watching with great interest (as usual) on the Fentress Site. I would like to know if you have any other information on the BURGE family? The earliest I do have is William and Juda (LAWSON) BURGE. His birth is c. 1776 in NC and his death is c. 1867 in TN. I only have his wife and one son: Preston BURGE with a birth date of 1823. He died in the Regimental Hospital in Athens, TN in 1865. He was on the August 1860 Census in Anderson Co. TN as 'BIRGE'. I do have a note to myself as to whether the William 'BIRGE' @ 86y, was the Father of Preston or not. The wife of Preston was Clara (HEWITH) HUGHETT and they married in Campbell Co. TN, Feb. 9, 1847. I also have 7 children for this couple if you are interested. Clara remarried after the death of Preston: to James BRUCE, October 16, 1870, in Scott Co., TN. In Scott Co. TN, 1880, James was 83y and 'Cleary' was 55y. Does any of this help you in your search? As always: Thank you Milly, for all of your information. Dixie (SCOTT)
