Facts and Events
"Mote" Burch was one of the seventeen children of Joseph Jackson and Elizabeth C. Graves Johnson Burch. He was small of stature, but his laugh was large and deep. "Mote" was a farmer and always had a good garden. He was a rather quiet man and a good provider for his family. During his married life he and Julia, fondly called Daddy and Mammy by their grandchildren, made several moves. At one time they lived in the old Huntley home. About 1915, he gave up farming and they moved to town in Ruby, Chesterfield County, South Carolina. The home in Ruby is especially memorable for my father, Carl Bunyan Burch, as it was there that he spent many of his happiest boyhood summers. In their later years, "Mote" and Julia decided to break up housekeeping and lived with various members of the family. After suffering a stroke, "Mote" was confined to his chair. He died at his daughter's home in 1927. Julia passed away a year earlier in 1926. (The above information from Dora "May" Burch MacCallum, "Mote's" great granddaughter, circa 1986.)
