My most wanted would be my gggrandfather, James Burk who I know nothing about except for the entries in the census for 1850 Hancock Co.They were living at Panther Creek and are listed as: Burk, James m age 61 born NC farmer Malinda f 30 born TN( young wife or daughter?) Travis m 27 born TN Louisa f 26 born TN Elinder f 23 born TN John m 21 born TN Sally(Sarah) f 19 born TN ( my ggrandmother married John Haley in 1857 Claiborne Co) Richard m 18 born TN ( married Sarah Gibbs in Claiborne Co much later) Mary f 16 born TN Milum m 14 born TN Sarah and some of her siblings show up in the 1860 Claiborne census. Living not far from them are David and Margaret Burk. Is there a connection between David and James, and an older David Burk( married Mary Dinkins) also living close by? Who is the mother of James's children , and where did they come from? I have these and many more questions, and would appreciate any help I can get. digging for Haley* Burke* Goin*too. http://home.bellsouth.net/P/PWP-tnhaley
