Sandra, I'm curious what evidence you have that John is the son of Giles Burdette. I have scoured the Monroe and Greenbrier records for some clue, but have yet to find any. In the lack of any further evidence, I have tentatively assigned two sons to Giles: John Burdette and Asher Burdette. What I have on these families is listed below.
