BURCH FAMILY.
Owing to the neglect of many of the progenitors of this family to place on Church, Probate, Town or Family records a correct statement of their marriages and birth dates of their children, it makes it very difficult, if not well nigh impossible, to write and compile a full and correct genealogy of the family. The first knowledge we have of the Burch family in this country is found in Savage's Genealogical Dictionary, Vol. Ist, Page 300, thus :
I. GEORGE BURCH appears in the town of Salem, Mass., where he m. Elizabeth
THEIR CHILDREN WERE:
2 MARY, b. June 30, 1659, d. young.
3 ELIZABETH, b. June 4, 1662.
4 JOHN, b. May 24, 1664.
5 MARY, b. Sept. 26, 1667.
6 ABIGAIL, b. Aug. 16, 1669.
7 GEORGE, b. April 27, 1671, d. Oct. 1, 1672.
Savage's Dictionary also tells us of a Joseph Burch of Dor- chester, Mass., but the history of Dorchester, published in 1859, makes no mention of the Burch family.
8. Jeremiah Burch, the first of the family that appears in Stonington, Conn., came here before 1670, and had a grant of land east of the present village of Clarke's Falls. What relation he sustained to George Burch (No. I) of Salem, Mass., the rec- ords fail to tell us. When and to whom he was married is to us unknown.
