Panama City, FL USA - Saturday, November 3, 2001
I have two sisters; Sybil Yvonne Burdick and Armestine Burdick.
Our father was Ernest Jackson Burdick (1906-1989) and our mother is Sybil Hood Burdick born 1921, still living in Alabama. Our grandparents were Robert Augusta Burdick (1884-196x) and Mary Alice Smith Burdick (18xx-1947) who lived most of their lives in Southern Alabama. I am unable to trace back past my grandfather. When I was a kid I asked him where his 'grandaddy' came from and remember him saying Rhode Island...imagine that! Robert had a twin sister named Alma and a brother named William. Grandparents had sons Samuel Coy, Burnice, and Titus that I am aware of. Sam is the lottery winner referenced in Schullers book. I understand Sam died a couple of years back. Anyone with information to share that might help me discover my great grandfather please contact me.
My career has been in industrial electronics and US government defense contracts and hope to retire soon. My children are Bryan Edward Burdick and Rebecca Lynn Burdick.

Canada - Tuesday, December 25, 2001
I am looking for Burdicks in Canada, or more specifically in British Columbia.
My mother's father died when she was 1 year old and her mother (either
Marie, Martha or Thelma Campbell) remarried to a Burdick. My aunt, Patricia,
was born and had 2 children, Dennis and Carolyn.
I am looking for all of them, but am mostly interested in finding out more
about my grandmother Campbell whom I never met (my mother was taken away at
an early age and moved to Quebec).
If you could refer me to Canadian resources you may be aware of, I would be grateful.
Though not a Burdick myself, my family history as a whole is very important to me.

My great great grandfather was Morgan Burdick (1813-1886) who came to
Milwaukee from Howardville, New York in 1834. I have traced his lineage back
through Paul, Thompson, John, and Hubbard to Robert, born in England in 1633.
However I have found there may be a discrepancy in this. Do you have a record
of Morgan and his lineage?

We in our branch of the family have been looking for the parents of William R. Burditt, Sr., m. Patience Delacy Hart. The records of William indicate that he was born in North Carolina in 1755. There is no proof or evidence of that, however. Family tradition says that he might have been born in Amsterdam. His ancestors seem to have fled the French Revolution because they were Huguenots. Can you shed any light on this situation for us, or do you have information on this William that might give us a further clue? Our William is different from the William R. Burditt b. 1755 in Culpepper Co. Va. Thank you for your time and efforts on our part.

I am looking for information about Aaron Wright who married Julia Anna Burdick

I know nothing more about Aaron except that his parents may have been
Augustus and Margaret.
I also edit a newsletter, Die Pommerschen Leute. Your information about the
German heritage of the Burdick family intrigues me. I have written two books
on my heritage from the German side and am editing a Pomeranian newsletter

My great grandmother was a Burdick by birth and a Maxson by marriage. She's Zelma Clifton Burdick Maxon, b 9 Dec 1885 New Bedford, MA, d December 1984 New London, CT. Her great grandfather was General Stanton (Civil War). She was married to Silas Maxson Jr, known in New London County (CT) for his piano business, and his construction business. He built many of the houses off Long Hill Road in Groton - Maxson Road, Wayne Road, Bradford Road, etc.
Zelma and Silas' children are Marjorie Maxson Vignot, b 1 Jan 1912, Silas "Brud" Maxson, and Norman Maxson. Her sister was Zenia Burdick.
I also have a name to add to your relations-by-marriage list. My grandfather, Marjorie's husband, was a Vignot from Norwich, CT. The Vignots are distantly related to the Arnolds of Norwich - which includes the infamous Benedict Arnold.

I am a Burdick by birth and have always been proud to be part of this great family. I was raised in Duchesne, Utah, and now live in Lafayette, Colorado.

I'd like to see more on this line, which played a part in the early history of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, suffering religious persecution and being driven from place to place before settling in the west and spreading out from Utah. There are a lot of the "Mormon Branch" of the family!

Hello! My name is Lynmerie (Lyn) Burdick Scott. I was just "cruising" the web and happened across this site! How interesting, I am going to dig into it more! I have seen and read the Burdick history book, and I am thinking of ordering one! I did the genealogy several years ago. My dad was Rowland M. Burdick, he is listed in the book, and his father was Rowland Salvage Burdick, whose father was Charles Burdick, son of Rowland L. Burdick, etc etc.

Gold Canyon & Happy Jack, AZ USA - Thursday, September 20, 2001
I learned of this site through a "cousin". (a descendant of Emiline Burdick)
My name is Donald (Don) Wilson and I am a g-grand son of ANNA RANGE BURDICK, dau. of Amos Freeman Burdick and Madaline or Mataline Range. I was born in Ohio but moved to Arizona in 1966, retired from General Motors Proving Ground, near Mesa, in 1993, worked for the State of AZ for about 5 years doing disaster recovery from a large flood and finally retired for good a couple years ago. My wife of 40 plus years and I live about 40 miles east of Phoenix in Gold Canyon during the "cooler" months. When the temperature consistently stays above 100, we move north of our cabin in Happy Jack, AZ.
Anna Range Burdick married George Washington Wilson in 1851. It appears they lived in Mill Village, PA all their married life. Both are buried in the Mill Village cemetery. George was born in Harford Co. MD but I haven't been about to trace details of his migration to PA.... most of my resources have been devoted to the Wilson line. For the most part I have taken information on the Burdick line from other researchers. When I started researching my Wilson line about 3 years ago I decided I just wouldn't live long enough to document all the various lines! I learned of my Burdick connection through grand dad Wilson's death certificate plus I found a tax receipt for Amos Freeman Burdick in some old papers after Dad passed away.... didn't know the connection but fortunately I kept the old receipt.

I don't have a lot to contribute, only have a marriage record for a Frank Rice and Elizabeth Frewerd/Freward, 02 July 1887 at Oconto, Oconto Co., WI. The groom's mother is listed as Nancy Burdick and his father as Benjamin Rice. I do not find them (Ben or Nancy) on the census records for this area circa 1860 or 1880. I assume that Frank Rice moved to the Oconto, WI. area without his parents. I did find a Nancy Burdick who was in PA. with a birth date circa 1850,
who may be the correct person but I have absolutely no proof yet. Do you have any clue who Nancy may be, or could you put me in contact with someone who
might know? I would love to be able to share what I have on this union and tuck her firmly into my mother's side of the family for all to see, but lack enough
information to do so.
The following biographical information on a Oconto, WI Burdick that may help someone else. I have no clue if he is related tomy Nancy:
The history of Northern WI., Oconto says: REV. C. R. BURDICK, pastor of Presbyterian Church, Oconto. Is a native of Chenango Co., N. Y. At about the age of twenty, he commenced an academic course of studies, and graduated at the Rochester University, in the class of 1852; he also graduated at the Theological Seminary, in 1858. Was ordained, Jan. 1, 1860. He had preached, however, one year before he was ordained. He had charge of the public school in Rochester, and had charge of one of the grammar schools from 1857 to 1859. He has preached five years in Genesee County, eight years in Niagara County, two years, in Joliet, about one year, in Marquette. Came to Oconto in 1875, and at once took charge of this church. Since coming here its membership has doubled.

My great Grandmother was Emily Irene Oviatt, her mother's name was Fannie Burdick and her Grandfather's name was Spaulding Burdick. Grandmother was born in 1831, either in NY or PA. She started school when she was 3 years old, and moved when she was 13 to Dane County, Wiscosin. She married Ephriam Dexter Cannon February 9, 1849. In 1867 Ephriam and Emily moved by covered wagon to Cherokee County, Iowa they had 6 children at that time. By 1876 they had acquired 4 more, 3 other babies were born but died within 1 year in Wisconsin. Emily lived to be 102 years old, she died in Plymouth, MN and is buried in the Afton Cemetery in Cherokee, Iowa. I hope that this will add to your Burdick genealogy, of which I know nothing.

Trying to connect family line back to 1507. Need to find the parents of DANIEL MCCOON BURDICK or the Children of Osmund A. Burdick and Amaryllis Vincent. Osmund was born in 1810 in Alfred, Allegany Co. N.Y. son of James Coon Burdick and Hannah Alexander. He died in 1885 in Belmont, Allegany Co. N.Y. on the 1880 Census Osmond was 70 yrs. old and his wife was 66. Also, Daniel McCoon Burdick was listed as being 44 yrs old his wife's name as Orpha, 37 yrs old. They had four sons: Byron A., 18; Edwin H., 14; Daniel M., 12; and James H., 8 yrs. James H. Burdick was my childrens g-grandfather and Daniel McCoon Burdick would be their gg-grandfather. If Osmund A. Burdick was Daniel McCoon's father then the line would be connected. I have the pedigree line from Osmund back to 1507 which is:
Osmund A. Burdick & Amaryllis Vincent
James Coon Burdick & Hannah Alexander
Samuel Hubbard Burdick & Amie Maccoon
Samuel Hubbard Burdick ,Capt.& Avis Maxson

Robert I Burdick & Ruth Hubbard
Samuel Burdick & Frances St. Lawrence
Thomas Burdett & Ann Wilson
Thomas Burdett & Briget Curzon

I don't have much information on the Burdick side of my family, but here is what I have.
My Grandfather was William Thomas Burdick born - August 28, 1872, in Cartright, NY, died April 8, 1973 in Cooperstown, NY. He married Elno Osborn in 1896, she died in 1962. They had one son , Lilburn Francis Burdick born June 8, 1901, died Jan. 29, 1949, Married to Myrtle Irene Kitchen on June 16, 1929, she passed away May 26, 2001. I have tried finding more about the Burdick side of the family, but there doesn't seem to be much available.
Could anyone help? There seems to be a problem with my father's birth certiciate (lack of one) but he was supposed to have been born in PA, but he lived most of his life in Richfield Springs and Clinton, NY.

Back in 1998 I had written to Frank Mueller about my Burdick line.
He responded he couldn't find anything on my gg-grandfather Solomon
Burdick or my g-grandmother, Samantha Burdick Logan, a daughter of
Solomon and Elvira Griffin Burdick.
Just this past month, out of the blue I received several e-mails
from a researcher working on Morgan Twp. of Ashtabula County, OH.
I think I had left an old query out on the Ashtabula County website
and had also joined and inquired of the Ashtabula County Genealogical
Society. I really don't know where he found my query, but am just
glad he answered it. I had previously traced my line back to that
group of Burdicks and was sure my gg-grandfather was Solomon Burdick
and was fairly certain he had a brother Henry living nearby when the
1850 census was taken. This researcher told me Solomon's father was
Ephraim Burdick and his mother was Hannah Hill. He also sent me
copies of pages 201, 202, 1292, and 1293 of Nellie Johnson's book
containing her compilation of the Descendants of Robert Burdick of
Rhode Island. I take it the reason Frank Mueller couldn't make the
connection was that the book doesn't show a Solomon, but a Saul.
It so happens though that several members of Ephraim's family moved
to northeastern Ohio, most of them in Ashtabula County. According to
the pages he sent me, Solomon's line is Ephraim, Thomas, Robert,
Robert, Thomas, and Robert of Rhode Island.
Nellie (Willard) Johnson states that Saul moved out west and had two
daughters. He had several more children that apparently she was
unaware of. I have a copy of Solomon's will and he lists his children
in it. He shows Synthia M., Eunice C., Margery S., Phebe Ann, Samanthy
S., and Lueasia M., my Daughters. I had Cynthia, Eunice, Margery,
Phebe Ann. Samantha S., and Louisa. He had son's Mortimer, William
E., and John D.. This Morgan Twp. researcher tells me there was
another daughter, Caroline, who may have died before Solomon. Solomon's
will was written and signed the 2nd day of April 1853 and presented for
settlement on the 18th of April, 1853. So he must have died sometime
between those dates. I show Caroline had her last child in abt. 1849,
so she could have predeceased her father.
I have much more on the descendant's of Solomon I'll be glad to
share if you're interested. I don't know what you're doing with your
Burdick genealogy, but if you are planning to do an addendum to
Ms. Johnson's book, I'd be interested in sharing with you.

USA - Thursday, June 21, 2001
My great grandmother was a Burdick and maybe the last of
Ebenezer's line. My roots are as such:
- Robert Burdick/Ruth Hubbard
- Deacon Robert Burdick/Rebecca Foster
- Ebenezer Burdick/Elizabeth Steward(he also was married
to Mary Dyer and had 7 children with her and that's
where we fade away) My line continues off his son,
Ebenezer b. 1737
- Ebenezer Burdick b.1737/Phebe Covey(He was also married
to Grace Palmiter and Lydia Greene)
- Caleb Covey Burdick/Freelove Maxson
- George Maxson Burdick/Jane Green
- Charles Maxson Burdick/Anna Brown(who died shortly after
childbirth and then the baby died a month later, there
were 3 other children who were under 5, so Anna's sister,
Emma, moved in to care for children and eventually married
their father, Charles, and had 2 children, (girls) one of
whom died at 6 months. Lots of sickness. Have obit of
Anna's and of Charles. At this point, there was only one
boy, George M. Burdick, and he didn't marry or have children.
So there is my great grandmother...)
- Zayda Burdick/Marshall Baylis
I think that's why it's tough finding more relatives through
Caleb. Maybe this will help others or maybe even help me
find someone I missed.
All my Burdicks came from RI to CT to Brookfield, NY
to Waterville, NY (not to be mistaken with Watertown,
NY - Waterville is near Brookfield).

My father was Miles
Wallace Cline. My grandfather Miles Wallace Cline was the son of Henry
Miland Cline and Juliet Augusta Burdick. She was born on April 29, 1853.
They were married at Flora in Boone County, IL. on Feb. 11, 1872. She was
the daughter of Miles Allen Burdick and Jane Eliza Strong Burdick who were
married on Nov. 7th, 1842. Miles Allen Burdick was born on March 14, 1814.
Miles Allen was the son of Allen Burdick born Sept. 12, 1765. Allen Burdick
married Jane Strong who was the daughter of Harvey Strong born in 1794.
Allen Burdick's mother was Martha Allen, a cousin to Ethan Allen. She was
born in Sidney, Delaware County, New York. Allen Burdick was born in
Otswego, New York.
Allen Burdick's family was as follows: Jonathan born 1787; Joshua born 1791;
Thankful born 1792; Ebenezer born 1794; Elias born 1797; Elizabeth born
1798; Stephen born 1799; Elisha born 1800; Betsy botn 1803; Anna born 1806;
Martha born 1808; Sally born 1811; Miles Allen born 1814.
My family line continued through Miles Allen Burdick and Jane Eliza Strong
Burdick.
They had: Orson Deloss in 1843; and infant son sho died in 1845; Harvey
Strong Burdick born 1846. Helen Elizabeth 1850; Juliet Augusta 1853; Jane
Ane 1856; Caroline Calista 1858.
From there it went on to Henry and Juliet Augusts Burdick Cline. They had:
Alfred Henry 1872; Florence May 1874; Miles Wallace 1876; Ettie Jane 1879;
Maggie Evelyn 1882; Dora Belle 1884; Cora Annie 1887; Carrie Bertha 1889.
Miles Wallace Cline married my grandmother Belle Gallarno Cline. The
Burdicks seemed to stay in the New York area till the 1870's, then they were
in Illinois. They resided in Boone and DeKalb counties of Illinois
especially around the Belvidere, Kirkland, Flora and Cherry Valley areas of
Illinois. I certainly appreciate any help you can give on tracing these
Burdicks. Thank you.

Delaware, OH USA - Saturday, June 2, 2001
My husband has Burdick ancestors. He is retired & we live in Delaware, Ohio.
A daughter-in-law has renewed my interest in genealogy. David`s
paternal grandmother was Lucy Estelle Burdick (1856-1924). I believe
she is descended from Robert Burdick, as well as Harriet Williams
(1828-1878), his paternal great grandmother. The Burdicks migrated to
Alfred, NY from Westerly, RI & the Williams moved to Verona, NY from S.
Kingston, RI. Both families moved to NY in the early 1800`s. David`s
Williams line is from Daniel Williams (1744-1839) who married Amy
Burdick (1746-1832). My husband`s paternal grandfather was Horace G.
Edwards (1855-1947) & his father was Cedric W. Edwards (1891-1974).
David is an only child & would sure like to know if he has any cousins
out there. Edna Edwards

I appreciate your Burdick site on the Web. It has a great deal of info I can
use. Have you any knowledge of Burdicks in the Boone or DeKalb counties of
Illinois. My great grandmother was Juliet Burdick. She married Henry Cline.
I have been searching many years for information pertaining to her. From my
information the family came from Sidney in Delaware county, N.Y. Miles Allen
Burdick married Martha Allen, a cousin of Ethan Allen. The family goes back
to Allen Burdick born in 1765. Henry Cline came from Oswego, N.Y., and was
born in 1849. Juliet Augusta Burdick was born in 1853. They married in
Flora, Boone county, IL on Feb. 11th, 1872. Do you have any such names in
your genealogy lists? I would appreciate any help I can get. Thank you

Looking for information on Fremont Burdick who went to South America and
another Fremont Burdick that was lost at sea. One of the Fremont Burdick's
was a brother to my grandfather Willis Burdick. My mother was Laura Burdick.
Her second marriage was to my father, James E Austerfield from Leeds, England.
Fremont Burdick was a brother to my grandfather Willis, I believe. Some of my
Burdick cousins are interested in the two Fremont Burdicks. The story they have is that one Fremont Burdick lived in South America and may have returned to the USA. Another Fremont Burdick, we were told, was lost at sea. We would like to know more about them. I have a cousin that has an original Burdick
book and I have a reprint copy that is hard to navigate. Any information or leads would be appreciated.

Hello cousins. My mother and I just returned from a week doing research in Salt Lake
City. What an experience!!! I was finally able to see a copy of the
Nellie Johnson "Burdick book". Our line begins (ends?) on pg 501-2 with
David(7) P Burdick of Easton, NY [Ephraim(6), Ephraim(5), Robert(4),
Robert(3), Thomas(2), Robert(1)]. David's son Albert(8) married
Elizabeth Chubb dau of Simon and Lydia (Neilson) Chubb of Washington Co
NY. Albert and Elizabeth's dau Naricssa (9)Prindle Burdick [called
Jennie] married George Shoemaker of Avrill Park, Renesslaer, NY. Jennie
and Georges's daughter Mabel(10), married Myron Tracy Munger and lived
in Schenectady, NY before moving to California in the late 1920's. My
mother Faith Holmes Munger (11) and aunt Eileen Burdick Munger were both
born in Schnectady but grew up in California. A 3rd sister was born in
Los Angeles Co, CA. I am the 12th generation, also born in California,
and my son Jeremy(13) was born in Santa Clara, CA.
I am a physical therapist eagerly approaching retirement so I can spend
more time (with less guilt) on genealogy...also time with quilting,
gardening and volunteering.

I am researching the Burdick side of my husband's family tree and
went through this web last weekend sending e-mail for info on this family.
One reply thought you may be able to help me.
My husband's g-g-grandmother was Anna Burdick born 12/08/1847
and by census info she was born in PA. She married A. Nelson Breece
on 01/29/1871 and resided in Smithfield, PA until her death 1/26/1928.
I know from her obit she was survived by 2 sisters Abigail Aduch of
Idaho and a Mrs. James Bunyan from Elkland. Two brother's Edward
from Elmira, NY and Elishia from Michigan. She is buried in the Thomas
Christian Cemetery in Smithfield with her husband. My husband and I
went there and, following instructions from another family member,
were able to pinpoint where they would be (there are no stones left
for them). However, when there I came upon a grave marked Alice
L Burdick d/o of Elisha and Abigail Burdick died April 1871 at 9yrs
ect. I believe this is Anna's sister as Anna grave would be right beside
this one. The only Elisha and Abigail I can find is in 1850 census from
Tioga Co. PA. They have a daughter that woud be Anna's age but the
name on census is Phebe A.
Do you possibly have any info on this family? I keep hitting a blank
wall trying to tie them together. Any help would be appreicated.
You can contact me at mrstee@prolog.net Thanks, Nancy

I have 4 straight great-grandfathers that were Seventh Day Baptist (SDB)
ministers so I can't help but to have connections to the BURDICK family.
Those 4 ministers include Reverend William DAVIS, who emigrated from Wales
in 1684, son Rev. John DAVIS, his son Rev. John DAVIS II, and his son Rev.
David Rogers DAVIS. My lineage from Robert BURDICK is as follows:
1 ROBERT BURDICK, Reverend + RUTH HUBBARD
2 NAOMI BURDICK + JONATHAN ROGERS, SR.
3 JONATHAN ROGERS, CAPTAIN + JUDITH POTTER
4 BETHIAH ROGERS + JOHN DAVIS II, Reverend
5 DAVID ROGERS DAVIS, Reverend + LYDIA CARTWRIGHT

9 ORSON JEROME DAVIS + STELLA A. KENT
10 WALTER ORSON DAVIS + FRANCES HENRY
11 GLENN GEORGE DAVIS + NANCY MAE ECKSTROM
12 GLENNA MARIE DAVIS
I have done a lot of SDB and family research and currently have 319
BURDICK'S in my tree. I'm currently working on my Daughters of the American
Revolution (DAR) qualifications through another grandfather, Captain Job
STRAIGHT, of the Rhode Island Militia. I was born in San Antonio, raised in
Minneapolis, and traveled all over the Mediterranean while employed as an
aircraft technician in the U.S. Navy living in Sigonella, Sicily (Italy). I
am currently an engineering technical writer for a Department of the Defense
contractor at the U.S. Army Yuma Proving Ground.

Surely SOMEONE reading this will be able to help me with my Burdick
"dead-end". I am looking for information about the ancestry of David Burdick,
born 1795 in RI, died 1885 in Brookfield, New York. He married as his 2nd
wife Olive Tanner. Name of his 1st wife is unknown, but they had 1 son,
born probably around 1825. In the 1830 census he is living in Edmeston
NY and is denoted as David Burdick Jr., and living in the next farm is
David Burdick (wife Polly). The elder David leaves property to his son
David Jr, but according to the Burdick Book, my David Jr is not the son,
but David W. Burdick living in Plainfield is the son.To make it even more
fun, in 1850 my David moves to Plainfield, and the other David W, has
moved to Edmeston. Both Davids are about the same age. Amos Burdick
of Plainfield dies around 1840 (wife Phoebe) and leaves to son David.
I hope someone who has researched the Burdicks of Otsego Co. can
help me straighten out the Burdicks. Some of the subsequent family
relationships make me suspect that the book may have listed the wrong
David as son. Please help! Thank you to all of you, and God Bless.

Does anyone have a Huldah Burdick in their family tree? She was born May 22,
187l, and in March of 1887 was in Montgomery Co., KS, (near Elk City), when
she signed her name in my grandmother's autograph book as, "Your cousin."
My grandmother was Emma R. Hansford. I would surely like to find the connection
between the two, and would be happy to share any Hansford data.

Alaska USA - Monday, February 19, 2001
My Great Grandmother was a Burdick and through papers that were written,
I surmise, in the 1960's, it shows how her lineage goes back to a Cary
Burdick in Rhode Island. I am a genealogist of sort, but have never
researched the Burdick side of the family. I am a member of the DAR
and find that Asa Burdick was a Revolutionary War soldier, which would
give me three connections to the War. Did any of the Burdick's come
over on the Mayflower?
I have found some very interesting things about the Burdick name.
Hope to make a connection along the way.

Northern California USA - Sunday, January 28, 2001
Great site! I've found early Burdick research to
sometimes be confusing & overwhelming due to all the
intermarriages with Maxsons, etc. As best I can
discern, I am descended from both Tacy Burdick &
Hubbard Burdick:
Robert Burdick & Ruth Hubbard
Tacy Burdick & Joseph Maxson
Capt. John Maxson & Hannah Maxson (1st cousins)
Goodeth Maxson & Nathan Burdick [son of Hubbard
Burdick & another Hannah Mexson; grandson of Robert &
Ruth]
Zillamus Burdick & Lydia Lewis
Joel Avery Burdick & Elizabeth Prosser
Nelson Perkins Burdick & Mary Allen
Nelson A. Burdick & Clarissa Brown
Jasper Edwin Burdick & Carrie May Edison
Wayne Edwin Burdick & Jeanette Ogaard
Wayne Lawrence Burdick & Billie Dove McAfee
I am the eldest of Wayne & Billie Burdick's 3
daughters. I lived in far northern California & work
as a school psychologist. I have 3 children--Otto
(23), Warren (18), and Desiree (13). My sister Gail
(occupational therapist) lives in Washington, and my
sister Ann (registered nurse) lives in southern
California.
My Burdick line migrated from Rhode Island to New York
to Minnesota to Washington/Oregon (briefly) to
southern California. My grandfather Wayne Edwin
Burdick died in April 1996, 3 months shy of his 100th
birthday.
Brick walls I am trying to dismantle are those
regarding my great-great-grandmother Clarissa Brown
(born 2 Nov 1843 in N. Shenango, Mercer Co., PA to
Loran Brown & Mary Fowler, married in Mantorville,
Dodge Co., MN); and Wayne Edwin Burdick's brother
Ralph Edison Burdick. Ralph (1889-?) was an attorney
in Duluth, St. Louis Co., MN. Family lore has him
retiring to Texas, possibly Brownsville area in the
1930s. He was still in Duluth in 1937 but
"disappears" after then. His son Graham & wife
Margaret Ellen Graham died in MN in the 1960s & 1970s.

Hello All.
I am still searching for my Burdick connection. My g-grandmother was Vernie
May Burdick and her parents were Albert Burdick and Martha Huntington. Vernie
was born from what I know in Wis. somewhere. I have looked everywhere I know
to try and locate someone who has heard or seen the name. BUT, I am still out
in the cold. ANY HELP out there?

Atlanta, GA USA - Monday, January 1, 2001
Thank you for the sacrifice of time you have made in searching out roots of
our family. It is most enjoyable and exciting, but as we all know,
frustrating and exhausting at times, too.
It seems that no one in the entire world has worked on our specific Burdick
line, but I'm wondering if you can suggest a next step for me. I had 2 days
in Salt Lake City last summer and was blessed with discovering one more
generation back. I found my Great-great grandfather, George Burdick in the
Newport, R.I. census of 1850. His occupation was "Mariner" and his wife was
Mary F. Simmons. His son moved to Georgia and from there I know everything
from there up to me. Short of going to Rhode Island, what can I look for to
connect him to the other Burdicks in R.I? Just adding his name to my tree
made the trip worthwhile, but I was frustrated because I thought I would
find so much more.
I live in the Atlanta area now, but was born and raised in St. Pete, then
lived in New Port Richey for 18 years. Since Mom and Dad are both gone, my
trips there are few and far between. Dad's 2 living sisters are in Floral
City and I see them about once a year, and I have just found out that his
nephew lives in Palmetto, although I haven't seen him since about 1956!
Thank you in advance for any advice you may have. Keep up the good search!

New Jersey USA - Monday, January 1, 2001
I'm not a Burdick, but my husband has a Burdick ancestral line. He's
descended
throught Robert, Robert, Robert, Rebecca ( who married Abel Peckham).
My husband's mother was born in Rhode Island, he was born in New Jersey,
which is where we live. I've done extensive Rhode Island research.
I've found a "dangling Burdick" on his line - Alan Anderson Burdick was born
12 August 1868 in Hopkinton, RI, the son of William Clark Burdick & Betsy
Warren Whipple. Betsey is half-sister to my husband's great-grandmother.
Ethan & Mary E. Burdick are listed as William's parents on his marriage
certificate. I have found no further records on either Alan or William.
Betsey is found "unmarried" years later in the 1880 census & remarried in
1881.
Alan would have been only 11 years old at the time, but is not found anywhere
in Rhode Island in the 1880 census.
I was wondering if you have any info on this family. Since I couldn't find
death records for either William or Alan, my guess is that William & Betsey
divorced & William took the child out of Rhode Island. But this is just a
guess! Happy New Millenium!
