Josie, there are three of us BURKS "cousins" who have been doing
extensive research on this line hoping to find a link or two
missing on the ancestors. What we have discovered is:
1. John Burk(s) left VA and went briefly to SC and then on to
Wilkes Co. GA and was settled there by 1773.
2. When the family arrived in Georgia, it consisted of
parents, 5 sons and 3 daughters.
3. Land records show a John & Mary Burks living on Sherroll's
Creek, Wilkes Co. GA.
4. We have a biography written by a descendant of Nancy Burks
Kendrick that says her father was John Burks. The bio mentions
Nancy and brother James Lyon Burks (called him Uncle Jimmie) and
his wife Patsy. It also mentions William and Wiley. This is a
35+ page bio that is absolutely wonderful, written about Nancy's
son, Benjamin Burks Kendrick, but contains all kinds of helpful
information both about the family as well as the living
conditions at that time. It begins in 1802 and covers through
the Civil War. This bio also says that John, Nancy's father,
had land on Sherroll's Creek!
5. I also have a Rev War pension application for Isham Burks in
which he says his father, John Burks, was a Capt. in the Georgia
militia. He said that his father helped secure him a position
in the militia. See note on Isham below!
This work is by no means complete but there is significant
progress made on the line. I also have many of the descendants
of James Lyon Burks and Martha "Patsy" Robinson. I have worked
on her Robinson line and made some progress there as well. Are
you related to that line?
One of JLB's daughters went to Union Co. AR around 1845 and
married there. I have often wondered what family line was in AR
for her to go and visit.
SOME RECORD INFO:
1800 SC Census Information:
Samuel and Roland Burks, perhaps from Henry County, VA., were in
Pendleton in 1790 and John Burks was in Greenville District.
The family was in Albemarle and Bedford Counties, VA., in the
1750s and Rowland in Henry County as early as 1779. John and
Mary Burke arrived from Virginia in Wilkes County, GA in 1773,
and there in 1794, Rowland Burks had land on Fishing Creek.
WILKES COUNTY , GA INFO:
John Burks from Virginia and a wife, five sons, and three
daughters from thirteen years to three months old 350 acres on a
branch of Sherrolls Creek, Wilkes County, land bounty grants.
He also purchased something at the estate of D. Hinton on 19 Nov
1779. John Burks to Isaac McClendon 100 acres on Newford Creek
19 Sept 1787.
Rowland Burks, test.
John Burk and wife Mary to Leonld Phillips 300 acres 19 March
1789
Randall Burks, Thomas Wooten, J.P. testators.
MISC INFO:
James Burks is only mentioned once in Grace Gillam Davidson's,
Early Records of Georgia, Wilkes County, Volumes I & II, (which
is where the preceeding information on John Burks and wife Mary
came from). James Burks of Burke County, Ga. to Silas Mercer of
Wilkes County, power of attorney "so far as concerns a bounty of
700 acres allowed me for service in Third Company of Troops"
Georgia Militia 11 Feb 1790 Sanders Walker, Howl Jarrett,
test.
One the same day he agrees to sell this land to Mercer as soon
as clear titles can be made.
EXCERPT FROM ISHAM BURKS REV WAR PENSION APPLICATION:
"Isham Burks, son of John, was born October 24, 1761, in Amherst
County, Virginia; the name of his mother is not stated. When
very young he moved with his father from Virginia to
Spartanburgh District, South Carolina, where he lived but a
short time then moved to Georgia and settled in that part which
was afterward called Wilkes County, about fifty or sixty miles
above Augusta."
Josie, this is just part of the volumes of info I have collected
over the past year or so on this line. I would be glad to
answer any questions you might have on the above and would
appreciate your thoughts on this. Many have readily accepted
that this is John Peartree and Mary Kendrick, but I don't think
this is accurate. For one thing this John and Mary would have
been married and producing children before that John and Mary
even married.
Of course, some of the John and Mary Kendrick lines haven't
claimed that their John was John Peartree Burks. And so far, we
can't prove this John was John Peartree either!! I am inclined
to think this John was a son of SAMUEL BURKS, son of SAMUEL &
MARY DAVIS BURK. His birth date fits with the birth of that son
of Samuel and other names living in and around John fit the
other sons names of Samuel.
As always, more questions than answers, but hopefully you might
have something to help us in the way of information about
William. We have been so fortunate to find bits and pieces of
info tucked away in places we really didn't expect to find them!
Hoping to hear from you,
Jean

Subject: Re Samuel Burks info/Harrison Repository
I sent this info to Becky about 3 years ago when I was first
gathering my Burks info. Our line is descended from Allen Burks
b 1771 in VA whose probable father is William Burks.
I recommend you visit the Burks Genealogy Study Group's website
at
http://tripod.com/bjcasey
Most of the info I received via snail mail and the internet came
from Basil Manley Brenda Watson. Since that time they have
updated their info and it is located at this site. I have not
been able to link our Allen Burks to this line yet. Denell

Mother: Mary COURIER |
Mr. Hart came to West Virginia, as it now is, in 1828, and
resided in Wetzel county till 1840, when he and his brother
James came to this locality and bought 500 acres on McKim creek,
on a part of which land his sons are now engaged in cultivating
as good a farm as can be found in this county.
He has been twice married, his sent wife joining her fortunes
with in May, 1852. She was Matilda, daughter of Joseph and
Stacey (Barker) Stull, both deceased, and was born in Monongalia
county, this State, in August, 1827.
The children of this marriage are: Franklin R., born February
19, 1853, resides in Pleasants county; Enoch L., July 16, 1855,
died October 4, 1858; Landora V. (Jewel), March 18, 1857, lives
in this county; George W., December 5, 1858, lives at home;
Stacey E., July 27, 1862, lives at home; Martha J., July 31,
1865, lives at home; Samantha A., December 26, 1867, died in
1869.
The children of the first marriage were: John F., September 18,
1834; Sarah A. (Masters), March 15, 1835; Sabra E., September
29, 1837, deceased; Mary, June 5, 1839; William H., November 17,
1840; Salathiel, September 4, 1842; Thomas H., February 1, 1845;
Josiah, January 1, 1847, died April 21, 1877; Francis M.,
October 22, 1949, died April 14, 1877; James C., November 7,
1851.
Mr. Hart's first marriage was to Elizabeth, daughter of William
and Sabra (Snodgrass) Higginbotham. She was born November 17,
1807, and married December 26, 1833, and her death occurred
March 7, 1852.
When Mr. Hart came to this county the land was well covered with
woods, and the woods well filled with wild beasts and Indians.
Wild game was plenty and neighbors scarce. Most of the people
here were living Indian fashion, and being a shoemaker, he
greatly astonished them by making a pair of shoes of tanned
leather - many of them were wearing moccasins. Mr. Hart was also
a surveyor, and helped lay out all the roads in the
neighborhood. His old age is now spent in comfort, and he looks
upon these pioneer experiences as something to be transmitted to
posterity. His postoffice address is Union Mills, Pleasants
county, West Virginia.
