JAMES BURK
(1773-1842)
"Our great-great-grandfather"
by Harry Douglas Stewart
"James was an infant at the outbreak of the American Revolution. He was raised to young manhood in that hostile atmosphere that harassed the families of the loyalists. Marrying Jane Mccann, James followed his older brother John into the wilderness of Upper Canada to receive a land grant in the same concession as that of John, in Flarlington Township. James was twenty-two years of age and Jane was twenty-one when, daringly, they joined the growing ranks of the United Empire Loyalists entering Upper Canada or, as it was more frequently called, Canada West.
Jane gave birth to ten children (see chart) one of whom, geneologically most pertinent to this paper, was Jesse. This name appears alternately as Jossiah, Jessie or Jesse."
...
"James Burk, brother of the pioneer John Burk, after receiving lot 16 broken front, held onto this 'and until his death in 1841, whereupon he wij led portions of the land to his family: Jane his wife, James Jr. and Theron, two of his Sons and Assa his daughter. Also, before his death in 1841, james Burk bought lot 17 in two steps Upon his death James willed the land of lot 17 to three of his sons: William Burk who received the north 100 acres, Jessie Burk who received the west portion of the south 90 acres and Theron Burk who received an east ten acres of the south portion."
From Maurice Dean Lincoln's email:
"James Burk born 1760 His wife Jane McCann born 1783 had 7 children" [8, 13]
