Burch... (surname)

(Return to Neil's main page)

Oliver Britch/Birch/Burch (Penrith, England) -- copy saved for posterity 

• Thomas Burch (1622)    (6/18/1622)

• Oliver Burch (1647) married Barbara Tennison (1650) (additional info)  (Tennison info... coming soon)  (researcher's link) Tennison.

• Justinian Burch (Sr.) (appx 1681) married Susannah Davis (appx 1690) alt source -- (daughter of Edward Davis (1664)  ...Davis

• Susannah Burch (appx 1709) married Leadstone Smallwood, Jr (1708). 
  • (Here's an interesting aside... here's a link to our friend Ron Beard's family-line in Charles County MD (Henrietta Smallwood Noland, 1718, a sister to Leadstone Smallwood Jr, 1708, above)
  • and here's his headstone pic from Green Cemetery, Paris ILL.... DSC_0731.JPG

• Justinian Thomas Burch (Jr.) (appx 1709)  shows him married to Tennison (?) and also to Ann Dyson (appx 1709).

• Susannah Burch (appx 1730) married Notley Maddox (alt source... and it shows Ann Dyson as appx 1711)

• Leonard Burch (Sr.) (1727) married Monica Guy Webster... Webster (saved as .pdf) (And here a potentially great link to a 2-volume publication with 1700 pages & 1000 photographs.)   Here's Leonard Burch (Sr.) born in Charles County, MD, about the right time (appx 1730) -- but showing married to Susannah Slye (instead of Monica Guy Webster Burch).  (My Theory:  Perhaps Monica died and he remarried someone younger (Savannah) because she later remarried after Leonard died.  ...but remember, it's theory only).     (And here's another confusing tidbit), albeit with supressed details.  So maybe there's a connection, or maybe there isn't.  But if there's a connection, here's some interesting data from Virginia re Slyes & Burches... some owning a slave.

• Leonard Burch (Jr.) (1770) and Sarah Overall (1773).   Can't believe it though, because her father would have been 10 years old and her mother would have only been 7 years old when Nancy was born.  It also indicates some 'other spouse'... Alfred Trent... and yet another spouse... Daniel Stewart...  in addition to John Nichols.  Conclusion -- they've simply got Nancy R. Burch listed as a child under Leonard Jr., instead of Leonard Sr.  However... )   

• And here's validity that Nancy R. Burch is daughter of Leonard Burch Sr..  ...and sister of Leonard Jr.  (makes sense)... and as youngest of the 4 siblings, perhaps it's not unlikely she was born when her father was 48.  (And we don't know how old her mother was... yet.)   Unfortunately, this link doesn't make any progress going back further.

• Nancy R. Burch (born appx 1780) married John Nichols .

• Here's an interesting piece about a 'John Burch'... re the Revolutionary War... and mentions some seemingly unrelated-but-maybe-related folks with some familiar names.
