!BIRTH-DEATH: FamilySearch2, Jane Burk, https://ancestors.familysearch.org/KZ8D-NCC
!REFERENCE: Rue Burke Stevenson, Ancestors of Early Burk(e) Families of Russell County, VA, "Henry Burk listed six of his seven children as living in his will. His wife, Judith, and son Henry (Jr.) were deceased and Henry's children were included in his father's will. This will was written on April 5, 1777 and proved on July 10, 1777 in Caroline Co., VA and suggests that Henry had acquired considerable holdings. Henry owned an ordinary (tavern), he served on the jury several times, supervised road building, won the right to build a mill dam, farmed, and set out a peach orchard. The ordinary was operated from 1734 on and was on one of the oldest roads from Annapolis to Williamsburg, about a mile below Burk's Ferry--later Burk's Bridge--over the Mattaponi River in the lower center of the county. The ordinary was established in the same place where one had been operated by Jno. Sutton. Giving bond with Henry was William Southworth (whose son married Jane Burk) and William Burdett. After his death, Henry's will was in dispute until around 1812, based on son Thomas giving power of attorney in Franklin Co., GA to Seth Strange to receive what might still be due him from the estate. ... G. 5. Jane Burk, born in Caroline Co., VA, probably around c1729-32, died by 1808. She married William Southworth, Jr., a witness to Henry Burk's 1777 will. He was alive in 1809 and was the son of William Southworth, Sr. and Catherine Nash. William Southworth, Sr., father was John Southworth who married Ann Syms in 1721, which appears to be a second wife. Catherine Nash's parents were John Nash (1660-1716) and Mary (maiden name unknown). John Nash's father was Arthus Nash (died around 1664) who had immigrated, was an indentured servant, and who came to Middlesex Co. from York Co. with Richard Allen, Nash's servant, who had immigrated in the 1650's first in York Co. John Nash's will was dated Jan. 22, 1712 and proved Sept. 3, 1716/17 in Middlesex Co. His children were: Arthur (over 18), and John, Henry, Ann and Catherine. (Catherine was not in John's will but was added by the Rutmans in their book, however, his brother Arthur is known to have had an infant child, Catherine, at his death in 1718, based on court records). ... Just why Thomas (Sr.) decided to leave Caroline Co. is not known. Court references suggest he had disagreements with several people. Order Book Abstracts of Caroline Co., VA 1765-67 and Order Book Abstracts 1767-68 by Sparaco (1989) show: June 13, 1766, John Major against Thomas Burk, assault and battery; same date, Thomas Burk vs. John Jones, assault and battery; Aug. 14, 1767, Thomas Burk vs. George Wiley, debt; March 10, 1768, Joseph Redd vs. Thomas Burk, debt; July 10, 1768, John Southworth against Thomas Burk, dismissed Sept. 10, 1778 which was a trespass and assault case against Thomas; July 14, 1768, Samuel Hargrove vs. Thomas Burk and William Hewlett, debt; Aug. 11, 1768, Archibald Govan vs. Thomas Burk, case; Sept. 8, 1768, Thomas Burk vs. James (blank), petition; May 12, 1769, Thomas Shipp against Thomas Burk, debt; July 13, 1769, Joseph Redd vs Thomas Burk, case.
