SUMMARY: We believe that Capt. John Burks and Isham Burks I are
brothers. The Bible record of Isham I establishes his relationship
to John (Peartree) and Sarah (Isham) Burks and the records of Capt.
John living in the same counties at the same time with John Peartree
gives us a tie with John and Sarah as well. Capt. John and wife Mary
left Amherst County the same year that John Peartree died and there
is no further record of John in Amherst County, VA. It is possible
that Joseph was another son of John as well as Charles as they also
went to Georgia and established records there. Exactly how many
children John Peartree had is not known.

John Peartree Burks was born before 1733 because he came into
Goochland and Albemarle courts in early 1740's, making him much
older. He could have had a son born in 1730's and 40's. This would
fit with the age of Capt. John Burks as his birth date is estimated
to be ca 1742-43 based on the ages of his children, the oldest being
13 in 1773.

These records also disprove any connection to Mary KENDRICKS as the
wife of Capt. John Burks of Georgia. Mary and her husband John Burks
left Virginia and settled in Kentucky per all the records of that
family.
