1870 Census Dist 4, Sunflower Co., Mississippi Burch, John S. 21 M W farmer 250. SC (married within the year, last Dec.) Burch, Mollie 18 F W keeping house Miss. Johnson, Spencer 12 M B domestic servant Miss. Thomas, Bartlet 19 M B laborer Miss.

John is widowed in the 1900 census Beat 4, Sunflower Co., Mississippi with 6 of his children with him. The year and age given is obviously in error as it lists him born in 1869, age 30, widowed, with son, Frank age 23, born in 1876. The 1870 census gives us an estimated birth year of 1849 and shows him married Dec. 1869.

I will use the d/o/b as researched by Mary Dixon who has done extensive work on this family even as to where they are buried.
