Facts and Events
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. 1900 Census Dist 51, Beat 4, Sunflower Co., Mississippi Burch, John S. head W M Nov 1869 30 Wd SC SC SC (obvious error in birth year; should be 1849) Burch, Frank son W M Dec 1876 23 S S MS SC MS Burch, Bessie dau W F Sept 1879 20 S MS SC MS Burch, Clarence son W M Jan 1882 18 S MS SC MS Burch, Pearl dau W F May 1888 12 S MS SC MS Burch, Myrtle dau W F Jan 1882 8 S MS SC MS (another obvious error in birth year; should be 1892) Burch, John son W M May 1894 6 S MS SC MS Apparently this whole census has the birth months and years wrong!!
