I would be wrong on this Samuel Burdett, he died in Bledsoe County in 1922. ----- Original Message ----- From: "David R Masters" <davmast@houston.quik.com> To: <TNWILLIA-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Monday, June 28, 2004 7:29 PM Subject: Re: [TNWILLIA] Burdett Query Gayle, Have you checked the Census images for the surrounding counties? There is a Samuel M. Burdett listed in the 1910 census for Bledsoe County, 6th district. His age is listed as 76. He is living with a daughter Laucrecia [Lavenia?], age 39. This census also asked if they were a Civil War Veteran, and this response was CA. It does list him as being born in Tennessee, but this response would depend upon who gave the answers. I have found incorrect information in the census on my ancestors also. A person has to make an analytic judgement call on some of these entries. Good luck in finding more information on your Confederate veteran.

He was born 10 Mar 1843 in Wedowee, Randolph Co., Alabama. He served with his two brothers (Benjamin Apling Burdett and Littleton Jesse Burdett) in the 13th AL. Infantry Co. E. At the close of the Civil War, he was released from Federal Prison in Nashville, Tennessee, and moved to Franklin. His Confederate Pension Application, indicates he died in WIlliamson County 28 Oct. 1929. From the application, I discovered his wife's name was Sarah and he still had one male child (age 13) living at home. Unfortunately, I've never found him on an 1870, 1880, 1910 and 1920 census, listed as Sam, or S.M. Burdett. . I did however, find a "John" Burdett living in that county up to the 1920 census. "John's" age fits, as does his and his parent's birth states. Interesting that this wife's name was Sarah, also I find a son Benjamin (his brother's name) and a son James (his father's name). I have heard that after the war, there were men he either changed their first names, or because of their distrust of the federal government, would give false info on the census (or would not register at all). Has anyone one the list, ever heard of any Burdett's living in Williamson county? If this "John" is the same man, there would also be other children present (Lavenia, Roland, Ellis, Manerva and Snowada) . Any ideas or directions? Thank you and sorry this is so long.
