CHRISTOPHER BURKET Sr, d. 16 Apr 1848 AND MARY ANN ROSS

Christopher Burket Sr.  d. 16 Apr 1848  married to Mary Ann Ross b. abt 1752 d. (see headstone picture I took) she was age 96 when Christopher died in 1848.

Both of them appear her father's, James Ross's estate paperwork. He as Stophel.

Lt. Col. James Ross 8th PA Regiment under Col. Dan'l Broadhead's 8th PA Regt.
Regt'l returned 09 June 1777. I obtained this record from the PA state archives on 28 Feb 2006.
I ordered and received Christopher's docs from the National Archives.

Per his daughter's obit, he lived to be a 104 and was of German descent. Per LBK  he's 102. Married and leaves a widow and a large family. He was from the banks of the Cononcocheague now located in Franklin County. 

I located where the government approved his pension, this in the Statues of Large, which was a record of laws passed. Also, I e-mailed the information to SH Jackman in hopes she would source me.

Children of Christopher:

Michael  Burket (shoemaker) b. 1784-1790 Stoney Creek Twp, Bedford Co., PA
1810
1820
1830 Michael bartered shoes and labor in exchange for food from the Mose's accounts and memoirs. I love to read the old newspapers and publications. This was published in the Laurel Messenger page 345 Feb, 1989.

On one of my trips to the Daley Cemetery, I discovered documentation that there is a Mrs. Michael Burket interred there. This cemetery at one time had been replotted on paper. I have two pages.

Israel Burket Lot No. 10 died 24 Dec 1866 age 50 yrs. 8 m. 4d.

Mrs Michael Burket, age not known.

Below that Geo. Anderson, unknown, Mary Anderson, unknown,and John Anderson, unknown. I did find a George Anderson on the Mortality Schedules who died at the age of 17 on the RR.

But than on another page, and or book, Lot 69 Israel Burket O.P #45 Israel Burket Apr 20, 1816 Dec 24, 1866.  Than George Anderson, May Anderson and John Anderson.
So we have Lot 10 than we have Lot 69 than old plot 45.

1830 census as Michare Burget.

Michael's child....move this to it's own post.

Joseph b. abt 1814-1816....on the 1860 census in Berlin Twp, Knox Co., Ohio...Linda Burkett-Kron states that is Richard's brother.
 
Richard Barkett, age 30, M., Occupation, Blacksmith, b. OH, d. 1861 in a sawmill accident in Ohio, per Linda Burkett Kron. Richard's wife was Elizabeth. Per a Robert Cook that Linda corresponded with, he provided her the name of James Franklin's father, Richard Burkett.
Marriage record for Richard states his wife's name is Elizabeth Chandler married 06 Apr 1854. Source: Michelle Hamel

Ira Burkett, Aubrey Arlen

Alfred

Linda Burkett-Kron picked up this clue..in 1850 Berlin, Knox Co., OH there is a Richard Burkhurd, age 18, living with a Philip Sullivan...they are both blacksmiths....Philip's wife could be a possible sister to Richard and Philip is Richard's mentor. The possible sister is Rosanna b.1819

Rev'd email from Linda states: My grandfather,  Ira Burkett b. 1900 Lola, Kansas
he was the child of James Franklin Burkett, grandson of Richard Burkett a great grandson of Michael Burkett. They where there for a very short time but I do find them on the 1900 Kansas Census. Rec'vd e-mail back from Linda regarding Joseph Burket in Perry Twp, Richland Co., PA on the 1870 census. Noting that Richland is the county that Richard died in and she see's him on the 1880 census also.

Levi b. 1820
Levi Burket b. d. Served in CO D of the 133rd PA Regiment in the Civil War. He lived in the vicinity of Buckstown. He was 35 yrs old when he mustered out of the company. The company disbanded in Johnstown. A stout man with a dark complexion. Had black whiskers with light colored eyes. Was abt 5'8 or 5'9. His nephew, Franklin, served in the same company. Franklin and Levi where said to have went West to Wooster, Wayne Co., Ohio.
Israel (son of Israel b. 1791) b. Apr 1816 d. 24 Dec 1866 Interred in the Daley Cemetery, Shade Twp., PA. married to Mary Lape they had the following children:

Noah b. abt 1838,

Daniel b. 24 Jan 1841

Rachel Burket b. 5 Jan 1843 married a Spade and she was blessed with a long life. A descendent of hers wrote a essay that won Third Place titled, "THE SECRET OF A LONG LIFE." by Catherine Butler.
Now, it states in this essay that Rachel was born near Johnstown, Cambria County, PA.
That her parents where Israel and Mary Lake...well, I seen the Lape name enough to surmise that it was most likely Lape and I e-mailed Susan Jackman and I said, "How many times have you ever seen the name LAKE....none! That most likely it was Lape. I've seen Lape all over the place and my grandmother's sister married a Lape. Susan responded back to me after she did some additional research, and that it was indeed  Lape not LAKE. The Lapes appear in my tree at least two other times. Now what I liked about this essay was that it mentioned Wayne Twp, Wayne Co., Ohio. So now I must find those darn notes so I don't mess up the details.

Frank Burket. Sometime after his service in the 133rd, he moved to Wooster, Wayne Co., Ohio. His Uncle Levi was said to have moved there with him. Franklyn married a Rebecca Lucy Manges per copy of death record. Unable to make contact with direct descendant so I obtained copy from Ohio Death Records. Wonder, is she related to Joseph F. Manges? I had a Great Aunt, Flo, who was married to Joe. Both of them are buried in the Daley Cemetery.

Anyways, their children where:
I have a two birth records for one Burket b. 18 Mar 1869 No first name to a Franklin and Rebecca Burket.
2nd one b. 08 June 1891 no first name but parents where Frank Burket and Rebecca Manges.

Levi Norman Burket b. 18 March 1869 Wayne Twp, Wayne Co., OH

Mary L. Burket No birth record found.
Carie M. Burket 30 May 1873. Wayne Twp, Wayne Co., OH. OK, so these are transcribed so mother is listed as WANGER, Rebecca and Father Frank Burket.

Jessie Elis Burket 11 Feb 1875 Vol 1, page 155 #3.

Cora Burket

John Utelious Burket b 24 Sept 1879. Ok Utelious? Wonder if this is a transcription error.Vol. 2 page 224 #4.  No, I found him and using a nickname.

Charles R. Burket b. 09 Aug 1881 Wayne Twp, Wayne Co., OH vol 2 page 302 #2.

Ollie Burket no birth record found.

Ernest C. Burket b 14 Sept 1886 Wayne Twp, Wayne Co., OH Vol. 3 page 39 #2. Transcribed record has Father and son as BURKER.
Married to Malinda.

Franklin V. Burket b. 08 June 1891 Wayne Twp, Wayne Co., OH. Vol. 3 pg. 117 #4.
A death record for this Rebetka Burket d. 15 Jun 1897 age 54 in Madisonburg, Ohio no parent listed on her death record. This is a transcribed typed record original record appears in Volume 2 on page 110. Now that makes her b. 1843 and that doesn't match Frank's wife's info in my FTM software. Though the county does.

Ellen b. in Johnstown 13 March 1847 d. 18 Mar 1928 in Indiana buried in Schellsburg, Bedford CO., PA picture must still be in my camera from my last trip. Found her obit online, in the Bedford Gazette 30 Mar 1928. Alt birthdate for her 26 Mar 1847. Lived with the Charles Williams Family.
It was hotter than heck the day my dad and I walked thru and around and around this cemetery. We where in there along time. I approached a couple that was also in the cemetery and they pointed us in the direction of the grounds keepers house. That's when I discussed the transcribed records that I printed off the internet. She informed me where each section was so I knew the general vacinity of the graves. I remember seeing one little stone that had initials on it that match but can't say for sure it was one of the markers I was looking for.

I Burket b. in PA wife Mary Lape, daughter Carrie (death record) source in my file I obtained.

 Hiram Burket aka Peter.  

He was a civil war vet, married three times, had 33 kids, 19 grew to adulthood and he's not on your website.  He lived in Allegheny Twp.  He's a cousin to my great grandfather, Cyrus. Could he be talking about a 2nd cousin or even a third?  Doubtful because Peter served in the Civil war so most likely a first cousin.
