Goshen, IN USA - Wednesday, December 6, 2000
I'm so excited, and as Maria Johnson just wrote to me (and gave me your website), I've apparently been bitten by the genealogy bug. My name is Jacquelyn Diehl (Jackie) and I live in Goshen, Indiana. My mother is Ina Elizabeth (Burdick) Ewers, from Meeker, Colorado, daughter of John Vernon Burdick, son of Alden Burdick, grandson of Alden Burdick. My mother, Ina, has only two sisters, Katherine and Vera, and herself still living from John Vernon Burdick and Elizabeth Hodges Burdick (their parents). I haven't gone through your pages yet - due to time, but plan to ASAP. I will present to you whatever information I can get from Mom. I'm so excited to find this information. This all began with my daughter's project for her 3rd grade class... Just thought I'd touch base with you in the meantime.

I may not be related but hope you can help. Maybe someone in the Burdick clan might know something about this Parker and Emely Burdick. I found this Burdick web page while taking a break doing my Skinner family research. I did find a Burdick that may have a Skinner connection. (Either as a relative or employer.) On the 1850 Elkhart Co. IN census on-line I found. ( I do not think it is the one Parker everyone references)

Household #, Family #, Name, Age, Sex, Occup, VAL, POB,
973, Burdick, Emely, 60, F, , $150, NH
973, Burdick, Parker, 52, M, Farmer, $1500, NY
973, Skinner, O.B., 34, M, Laborer, , NY

I am pretty sure the O.B. Skinner and his older brother Joseph C. Skinner and his family were together in 1850 in Elkhart, Co. We did find them both on the CENSUS. From the entry on the May 2000 news letter I see a Burdick family has some roots in Washington Co., NY.

Now the part where Mr. Wood and Mr. Holmes come in. We have a copy of a will of their father, Joseph, listing sons Joseph C. and Orinn B. (O. B) Skinner's mother as Emily from Washington Co. NY, dated 1842. We do not know her maiden name. But I was wondering if the Emely listed in the 1850 CENSUS is our Emily who could had remarried a Parker Burdick after 1842 and moved to Indiana as my O.B. Skinner appears to have lived or worked on the Burdick farm there. Thank you very much and we are looking forward to your comments. Maybe some of the Burdicks can have a new relative to the "Who's That List?"

Just found you today. Someone had told me about this site, but have been tied up with holiday preparations and unable to look until today. What a pleasant surprise!!! Here's my lineage: Robert-1, Samuel-2, Thomas-3, Thomas-4, Allen-5, Jonathan A.-6, Barnet-7, Henry E.-8, Mary Eliza (Burdick) Schmucker-9, Arthur Burdick Schmucker-10, E. Darlene (Schmucker) Flentie-11, and me, Beverly Flentie DePriest-12. I have a daughter, Jennifer Wolff -13 and she has a son, Mason Tyler Wolff -14.

I know virtually nothing of the people after Robert (1) until I get to Arthur Burdick Schmucker (10), my grandfather (certainly no one to brag about!). If anyone would like to offer additional information, I'd be forever in your debt. Thank you.

Vinton, IA USA - Thursday, November 30, 2000
I was wondering if you could direct me to anyone who knows of Parker Burdick, b. 1798 NY, d. Elkhart Co, IN. In the 1850 census of Elkhart Co, he is listed along with Emily (?), b. 1790 in NH, and O.B. Skinner, b. 1816. I know that Orrin B. Skinner's mother's name was Emily, so she may have married Parker as her second husband. I know as well that Orrin was born in Washington Co, NY, where there were a bunch of Burdicks, so she may have married Parker there. Of course, Orrin may simply have known the Burdicks from Washington Co, but I'm keeping my fingers crossed, since I'm a descendant of Orrin's brother Joseph C.

Fort Collins, CO USA - Wednesday, November 29, 2000
Just found your web site and it's great!! Here's how my husband Bob fits into the Burdick puzzle:

Robert and Wanda McCarty KRAJICEK (us)
James and Leona Lucille STEWART Krajicek
Lloyd Elsworth and Lola Ruth McDermott STEWART
Alza Mora and Mamie Remembrance BURDICK Stewart
Amos Rogers and Martha Ann Spencer BURDICK
Joseph and Polly Remembrance Stillman BURDICK
Henry and Judith Maxson BURDICK
Ezekiel and Amey Downing BURDICK
Hubbard and Hannah Maxson BURDICK
Robert and Ruth Hubbard BURDICK

Do you know any others who share this particular Burdick lineage? I'd appreciate any help you can give me. I've just recently put this together so hope it's accurate. Bob's great grand-parents were among the first homesteaders in Scotia County and Greeley County, Nebraska and Bob's grandparents lived in the Grand Island, Hall County, NE area where Bob's mother was born. I'd be happy to share what I've put together, if you're interested. Please let me know.

Basking Ridge, NJ USA - Friday, November 24, 2000
Hello - Luckily, I have inadvertently stumbled on to this web site and am thrilled. I am a descendant of the Adin Burdick line, and have my genealogy pretty well in line. I have recently returned from a trip to Stonington, Ct., was lucky enough to get a map of area cemeteries, and treked thru the woods to find an old Burdick cemetery. It was a rather exciting moment for me and of course has stirred my curiosity and imagination as to what life was like in the early days there and exactly where the early Burdicks lived.

I had been in the area (Stonington and Westerly) a few years ago and done some research and found the book of Robert Burdick of Rhode Island and was able to get a lot of info from that. Maybe I could fill in some of the latest "blanks" from our line of the family. I am thrilled at how many Burdicks there are and so interested in the history of the "clan" Thank you and I hope to hear from you.

Meriden, CT USA - Wednesday, November 15, 2000
I am Robert William Burdick (pretty common amongst Burdicks) Look at all the Burdicks! I am from Meriden, CT the son of Edgar William Burdick Jr., grandson of Edgar Burdick Sr. I have heard that the famiily comes from Rhode Island by way of England. I once saw a genealogy (I was very young) done by an Archie Burdick of Rhode Island on Burdicks. I have not seen it since. I believe Archie was a priest. Trying to put the puzzle together.
Frank O. Ransom <foransom@datasync.com>
Florida's Gulf Coast USA - Wednesday, November 1, 2000
I am a direct descendent of Robert Burdick (1630 - 1692) and Ruth Hubbard, and quite probably Thomas Burdett (1507 - 1555) and Elizabeth Cockaine. There is some evidence we can trace the family even earlier, however the genealogy does get mistier.

My cousin, Dick Shaw and I have been actively persuing our genealogy, our mothers were born as Burdicks but their married names are Ransom and Shaw. If you would like to exchange info, please advise me via email. My address is foransom@datasync.com. I live on the Gulf coast and my cousin Dick is in Bradenton, Florida, for the winter months but is without his computer. Any information that you offer will be forwarded to him via snail mail, and his response will be either thru snail mail or direct if you will supply your home address.

We would be pleased to supply any missing links in your Burdick genealogy. If you are interested in exchange of information please let me know via email.
Sandy Paris <Sandykp@aol.com>
Ohio USA - Wednesday, November 1, 2000
I am looking for information on a Harriet Burdick married 1850 in Summit County OH to a John Dundon. They lived in Ohio for awhile, then moved to Champaign Co., IL. They are listed as some of the early pioneers of that area in IL. I am assuming they divorced because it lists both of them and says "former wife of J Dundon", he is still living, so probably divorced.
Harriet Burdick b 1825 OH died 1864 IL she is buried with a sister in IL. Caroline Burdick b 1840 OH died 1869 29 y.o. Harriet was or might have been married before to Darwin Rathbun in 1844.
Do you have any information on these people or their parents so we can identify them?

Hi, or should I say Hi Cousins! I enjoyed looking at the Burdick Web page. Some of the information will be useful in putting my page together. I am decended from many of Robert and Ruth Burdick's children. So far, I have found lines decended from Naomi, Deborah, Benjamin Tacy and Hubbard. The name Tacy is passed down through the women until it reaches my Third Great Grandmother Clarissa Tacy Welch.

I was born and raised in Westerly R.I. and still live in the area. I came across your site and found it very interesting and informative. I have been working on my family history for a long time and so far on my father's side I can trace my relatives back to the early 1800's, but on his mother's side (Barber) I have gone back to the early 1500's. I didn't know of the book written by N. Johnson until I read it on your site, I will have to find it and read it. Please fell free to e-mail me if you like. Thanks for the info.

Hello cousins. We live in Denton. Have been here 10 years after living in Arlington for 16. We moved there after being in Fort Worth for four years after getting out of the Air Force in 1970. My family (Great grandparents) moved to Loving, Texas (Young County) from Kansas in 1907. I grew up in Loving and Graham. Our two sons, Jeff and Chris are the last of our family to keep this line going. Neither have any children at the present time. I have one Burdick first cousin with no children and will have none. He is the only other male left. Bunches of girl-type cousins, though. Ha! Thanks for saying hello.

New Hope, MN USA - Saturday, July 8, 2000
I'm working on my family tree and received some pictures from Carl Burdick Jr. that belonged to his father Carl Sr., my 2nd ggfather. James A Clark is on the photo along with some Burdicks. I can't find out where the picture was taken or who these Burdicks are or where they are from. I think the picture was taken around 1880 or there abouts. The Burdicks in the picture are Amos Burdick Jr. his wife Anstis (Clark) Burdick, Mercy (Clark) Burdick the widow of Alfred Burdick. They all appear to be in there 60's or so I thought if I could find out where they lived it would probably help me find out where my 2nd ggfather ended up since I can't find him after the 1870 census in Canada. I know all of his family returned to the states from Canada in the late 1860's. to early 1870's. I have checked several Burdicks in Carl Burdick's book, From Whence We Came, but they are not in there. I'm related to the Burdicks thru Carl Sr.'s mother; she was my great Aunt. Any help would be very much appreciated. Thank you.

This is a great website! I'm fairly new on this Burdick research so haven't fully reseached the Robert Burdick of RI book yet. My grgr grandfather was Clark C Burdick (5-26-1821-1901) he was born in NY, settled in central Iowa where he died. He was son of Wm Burdick & Polly Ann (Mary Ann) Hancock, Wm Burdick was son of Daniel Burdick & Temperance Hall, and Wm is listed as son of Wm Burdick & Sarah Edwards. Hoping to hear about siblings of Clark C Burdick, they were all born in New York I believe: they are Wm Stillman Burdick, Hubbard Smith Burdick, Nathan D, Edward P, Mary Ann, John Hancock Burdick, Collins C, and Charles P.

Alfred Burdick served in Spanish American War and received pension, but military records do not show place of birth in Germany.

I too am related to the Burdick Family. Carl Courtland Burdick's Mother Emma Florence (Clark) Burdick is the daughter of my 2nd great grand fathers brother Philander Clark. The Question I have though, is a picture of 13 people on a photograph that I have, there are some Burdicks on the photo and I have no clue who they are. Their names are Amos Burdick Jr, his wife Anstis (Clark) (e) Burdick and Mercy (Clark) (e) Burdick widow of Alfred Burdick. I'm guessing the photo is from around 1880 but not sure, My 2nd great grand father James Alanson Clark (e) is also on the photo, no idea where it was taken. Any help with these people would be greatley appreciated.

I was born in Olean, New York, 1973. My mother is Sandra (Burdick) Greenslade, daughter of Edmund C. Burdick, grandaughter of Raymond and Blanche (maiden?) Burdick. Edmund still lives in New York as does his sister Jannie (sp?), while his other siblings: Keith, Betty, and Arline now live on the west coast of Florida. I do have a newspaper article my grandfather gave me that says lineage goes back to Gideon Burdick, George Washington's drummer boy, the one on the 1976 quarter. My grandfather has done research as well, but I know little.

I was delighted to find a Burdick site on the web. I am descended from George Dudley Burdick, b. New York ca. 1835, at least that is the info. the family has. Would love to find out more about his line back to our intrepid Robert of Rhode Island. Can you point me in a good direction?

USA - Monday, May 29, 2000
My branch of the Burdick's came form NY State and lived in PA before moving to Iowa sometime in the mid 1800's. My great grandfather was Franklin Burdick, grandfather Russell Burdick, father Clayton Russell Burdick. The first 2 were buried in Maynard, IA, and my dad in Reinbeck, IA. I was always told that when Maynard was founded it was almost named Burdick. Don't know if it's true but that's what my grandma always said. The Burdick's have always been involved in Masonic work and I have letters from PA about being a Mason that were written in the 1800's. Most of the men in the family were carpenters or cabinet makers. I have several pieces of furniture made by Burdick's including a bed made by George Washington Burdick.

My name is Nancy Livingston Nieuwenhuis from Haledon, NJ., I have two children, Deena and Jay. My mother is Alice Burdick Livingston of North Stonington, CT. We Burdicks are a tight knit group in the Mystic area of CT. Every chance we get we gather together twenty cousins at least and visit with my grandmother Alice Latham Burdick (b. 23 Feb 1914). We've even come to nickname her home the Burdick Family Compound. There are so many Burdick descendants in the area we may be related to half the state of RI! My grandfather Ellery passed away several years ago (d.16 Oct 1991) and I do not have anything beyond his fathers information. This leaves a big gap in my geneology research. I stumbled upon your web page and am very excited to discover other sources you've listed. I am a gardener and Landscape Architect heavily influenced by my grandfather and mothers' interest (healthy obsession) with gardening. I am a Christian woman devoted to Jesus my savior. My grandfather was also a believer during the last two decades of his life. Thank you for the opportunity to brag about my Burdick family relations.

More relatives! I come from Robert Burdick & Ruth Hubbard through their son Benjamin and his wife Mary Reynolds; Peter Burdick & Ester Gavitt; Elnathan Burdick & Anne Sisson; Captain Benjamin Burdick & Meribah Burdick (his cousin); Peter Burdick & Abigail Brown; Edwin F. Burdick & Lydia Healy; Charles H. Burdick & Nellie Broughton; Edwin C. Burdick & Edna MacDonald; Albert Burdick (that is me) & Dorothy Cline. We have four sons and two daughters; 14 grandchildren & 10 g-grandchildren (these numbers include step-grandchildren).

My g-grandfather started the family migration to California sailing from New England, walked across the Panama Canal, and thence sailing on to the San Francisco Bay area. With his money and his two sons running it they ran a horse drawn railroad which carried freight and passengers between Centerville and Newark, Ca. There is a historical farm in Newark which displays their train and other items of interest. It is called Ardenwood Farm.

One of our sons, David, is Director of Libraries for Jefferson County, Arkansas. He had done a great deal of genealogy work and dug up all of the Burdick ancestry mainly using 'The Burdick Family Book" .

I am so happy to finally find this web page. I finally feel I can connect.

I have 3 children Danielle Leigh, Shaun Franklin and Tiffani Laine.

I have a brother Ron (Kay, Yes that is why he changed it) Burdick who lives in Denver, Colo. I have 2 sisters Camilla BURDICK Engert from Cattaraugus, NY, and Mindy BURDICK Wedel from Wichita, KS.

My parents: Merlyn (Scotty) Kay Burdick and Helen Elizabeth Sullivan
Grandparents Walter Lyman Burdick and Florence Sarah Strickland
Great Grandparents Caleb Lyman Burdick and Nellie B. Hunt
G-G-Grandparents Lyman Berry Burdick and Alvira Hunt
then Rowse Burdick and Martha Maxsom
Captain Robert Burdick and Sara Williams
Robert Burdick and Hanna Hall
Robert Burdick and Susana Clark
Robert Burdick and Rebeca Foster
Robert Burdick and Ruth Hubbard
No more Robert's for this family, too confusing to hunt for ;>)


My mother and father were divorced in the late 50's. Ron stayed with dad in Denver, Colo. and us girls went with mom back to Niagara County, NY. We never had contact with the BURDICK family until I was 16 and then again at 40 when I finally said enough. My father has Parkinson disease and my brother has MS (multiply Sclerosis) My sister Cam and I are trying to find out as much as we can about our family history.

I run a day care out of my home and sell Christian educational books. I homeschool my two youngest children, Shaun who graduated and is now in the Coast Guard and Tiffani who is now in 11th grade. My oldest, Danielle, also runs a day care out of her home. We love children and I hope to be a grandmother of dozens.

My Mother and I are trying to trace her Burdick lineage. We can go back only so far and then we run up against a stone wall. My Mother was Ardinelle Burdick, daughter of J.Edwin Burdick, son Aylmers Delroy (A.D.) Burdick & Penelope Irvin Jones. Alymers Delroy (A.D.) Burdick's father was A.D. Burdick, Sr. We have found that A.D. Burdick Sr. was born in New York State probably in Chenango Co. He migrated from New York to Georgia where he met and married May A. around 1855. He and May lived in Georgia approximately 3 years after they married and had one child, a girl name B.M. The family moved to Texas and settled in Grimes Co, where A.D. was born. We cannot find where A.D. died or was buried.

In all your Burdick work, do you remember coming across any information similar to the above? Any help you can give us getting us back on track will be greatly appreciated.

I need the children of Parker Burdick b. 11 Sep 1735 Westerly, Washington Co. RI, for my genealogy. Please let me know if there is anyone doing or has done research on this person. The LDS database lists Parker Burdick as married to Thankful (Burdick?) on 13 Jun 1754 in Westerly, RI, but does not list any of their children.

My current research lead me to make the following theory: Parker Burdick had a daughter, probably named Rebecca, who married Mr. Crandall, probably named Samuel. They named their son Parker Burdick Crandall b. 1790.

If true, this makes Parker Burdick the grandfather of my ancestor Parker Burdick Crandall.

Please help me locate records or information to test this theory.

USA - Saturday, January 15, 2000
The Burdicks in McKean Co, PA area married into Gallup families, most of whom I am related to. Looking for info on an ELEANOR DAVIS, d/o Lydia Burdick and Benjamin Davis. Info I've found so far doesn't imply a link except that the names and locations jive (includes Chenango and Cortland Co areas in NY). DAVID S. WHITE m. ELEANOR T. DAVIS, on 12/31/1826. David was born 12/7/1802, s/o Ichabod White and Rhoda Hoag. We have no info on Eleanor, but she is buried in the Colegrove Cemetery in Crosby, McKean Co, PA. Dates on tombstone are 6/15/1820 - 9/19/1881. Eleanor is my gggrandmother and none of us have been able to trace her so far.

However, since there are Burdicks married into most of the lines down there as well as Gallups and they did tend to marry rather closely, there's a chance real strong likelihood that there's a link somewhere with the DAVIS family as well.

I have quite a bit of info on the Gallup families in the McKean Co area as well as the Fullers from Potter County...a cousin who lives in the area and helps out looking things up at times.

We believe that David White (b. 1802) was born in NY and know that two of Ichabod's brothers (all were in the Rev War) are buried in the Tully/Prebble area and that there is likely still family in that area.

Feel free to email me if I can help you or vice versa.

I am also researching Burdicks but don't believe I am related to any you have listed. According to my great grandfathers death certificate he was born outside of Paris France in 1850. His name was Semion Burdick. His father was listed as Leon Burdick and his mother's name was Adeline. It also stated he had been a soldier in France. He came to the US sometime before 1882 and was married in DeKalb County IL in 1882. Do you think his last name had been Burdick or Burdette? Do you have any information on Burdicks in France? I would be greatful for any advise or help. Thank You

Central New York, USA - Tuesday, January 4, 2000
I too am a Burdick descendant here in central NY State where the early Burdicks settled, some before 1800. My 4xg-grandfather was Samuel Hubbard Burdick who is credited as being the earliest of the Burdick settlers in this area, I believe. There is a grave marker for him in a cemetery in the town of Brookfield, Madison Co., NY. His wife was Amie Maccoon who was born in Hopkinton, RI, and who apparently never came east. I don't know her death date. His son, my 3xg-grandfather, Charles L. Burdick, and his siblings were all born in Stonington, CT, as was Samuel Hubbard Burdick. Charles L. is only mentioned as having been born, no other information given in Nellie Johnson's book. (She was a resident of Norwich, NY, right here where I have lived most of my life.)

There is an addendum to her book and I found most of my early info about Charles and his children there. Then I secured a copy of his will in Cooperstown, the county seat of Otsego Co. Currently one of my missing links is the maiden name of his wife, Rebecca. They are buried on the Madison Co. side of the Unadilla River in an extant cemetery, very nicely kept.

Their daughter Alzina Burdick married Macomber Barker whose pedigree I have in its entirety, I believe. Their daughter Ella Barker married Charles Brownell, also here in this part of NY State although I don't have a record of their marriage which precedes 1880. Their daughter Frances Aurilla Brownell married Stephen Miles Walling and lived in the town of Edmeston, Otsego Co., NY. Their daughter Minnie Elizabeth Walling is my mother and married John Richard Child in Sherburne, Chenango Co., NY. I am Sara (Sally) May Child Chirlin married to Donald D. Chirlin and live in Norwich. We have two children and one grandchild. I can give you the brothers and sisters down the generations from Charles and Rebecca if you like.

There were Seventh Day Baptists, which the first Burdicks all were because of Ruth Hubbard's influence, well into the 20th century. I'm told that the church in Lincklaen, Chenango Co., near a cemetery with many Burdicks interred, operated as a church until quite recently.

I am interested in writing to Dr. Carol Burdick in Alfred, NY, as I think one of my Burdick ancestor's brothers indeed moved to Alfred! I haven't had the pleasure of meeting a cousin from one of the Burdick siblings in ANY generation so I'd love to find one!

Also, I too descend from Bethia Hubbard. Continuing back, this time, from Samuel Hubbard and Amie Maccoon Burdick, Samuel Hubbard Burdick m. Avis Maxson. Then, from Avis Maxson -- her parents were John Maxson and Judith Clarke and Judith Clarke's parents were Joseph Clarke and Bethia Hubbard, sister of Ruth Hubbard.

Please let me hear from you. I thoroughly enjoy the connection with other kin via e-mail and the internet websites. I look forward to continued sharing of Burdick memorabilia. Perhaps someone out there will trace his or her roots back here to NY State where the "first" Burdick immigrants appear to have settled.

I picked up a copy of JOHN CLARKE AND HIS LEGACIES: Religion and Law in Colonial Rhode Island 1638-1750 by Sydney V. James Penn State Univ Press 1999 0271018496 and can recommend it to Burdick researchers. It's an academic monograph but very well written and gave me a lot of insight into conditions in early RI and MA; their close connections to the old world sparrings with Winthrop over the RI-CT border, and particularly the fortunes of the First Baptist Church in Westerly. It's very clear on the religious controversies -- the Sabbath, laying on of hands, adult baptism, antinomianism, the professionalization of the pastorate.

While no Burdicks figure directly in the story, Tacy Hubbard makes an appearance as do sundry Clarkes, Maxsons, and other folk who frequently feature in Burdick lines.

My wife's mother's family are Burdicks and very much kin to John Duffy Burdick line that's appeared in these white pages. I've only been into genealogy since last February and have been working mostly with the stuff I find online. There's sure a plethora of Burdick's out there, and much easier to find than my mom's Taylor line or sorting out all the southern Lundys from my people in NYC and PA.

Cheers! DAN

I will be searching Tolland and E. Haddam, Connecticut for Parker Burdick Crandall. His wife came from E. Haddam, where her parents were married. There are several Sam Crandalls in Tolland. I believe Parker's father to be Sam Crandall. If you know and Burdick women married to Crandalls in Connecticut c. 1790 please let me know.

I suspect my Burdick connection may have been a child not named in the book. I noticed that the book focuses on direct lineage of male heirs and does not cover the children of female Burdicks. This is not a criticism, the book is amazing. I cannot even imaging doing that without a word processor!

I would like to share my project that will be ongoing for some time. I have been collecting the data on my grandparents - Lyman Andrew Burdick and Doris Elizabeth Muggle - and their descendants - which number over 100 with their 10 children and their children and grand children. Anyone can email me and I'll share what I have. I am most interested in Lyman's father, Harvey Edgar, travelling from Grafton, Rensselear, New York to Florida, Berkshire, Massachusetts. It seems that a lot of the family moved from Grafton and settled Pownal, Vermont, and Northern Berkshire, namely, Hancock, North Adams, Adams, and Florida Mountain. I am trying to see if anyone has any of the Family Bibles or if they knew why this family moved across the mountains bordering New York and Massachusetts.
