Burkett/Burkhart of Greene County Tennessee This space contains research for the Burkett/Burkhart family that moved to Greene County, Tennessee in the early 1800s.

Burketts were in Greene County prior to 1798. The earliest records are tax records from 1798 and 1806 and a marriage record for Matthias Burkett (abt.1787-abt.1870) in January of 1805. There has been no record yet found about Matthias' parentage, but some family genealogies indicate his father was named Frederick. Since there was a Frederick (and a George) in Greene County in 1805, this is a plausible connection.

The main focus of this research is George Washington Burkett (abt.1809-aft.1880), as the descendant of this George is the researcher trying to make connections. This George was born about 1810 (lots of census variations). The loss of the 1810 and 1820 censuses for this county make it more difficult to piece this information together.

There will be many "what ifs" and "wanderings" in this research, but we must always come back to two facts as we know them. Our George Washington Burkett was born in Tennessee. His father was born in Pennsylvania. There will be many Tennessee and Virginia family members considered in this research, but most, simply as a way to rule out the possibility of parentage. Much focuses on the fact that Frederick was born in Pennsylvania and moved to Virginia (thus resulting in many Virginia offspring), and that the George in the 1805 tax list may very well be Frederick's brother, and then also likely born in Pennsylvania.

To add to this confusion, there are at least two George (Washington) Burketts who are of similar age that we are having to shuffle! Our George was born somewhere between 1809 and 1815 by census records (the 1850 census being the closest to his birthdate and having a child born about 1831 have us leaning towards 1809-1811 being correct). There is a George born about 1814 (and who settled in Arkansas), who is often listed as the son of Matthias. Thus we need 2 men likely to be the parents of two distinct Georges in the years spanning 1800 and 1815. A George married Lucinda Pinkston in 1829, and we have surmised that he is "our" George and that Lucinda was his first wife, and the likely mother of his first child, William. His known wife Mary Ann (from the the 1850 census) would have been about 14 at the time of William's birth, but there is about a 5 year gap between him and the next child, so there is room for speculation that Mary Ann was not the first wife and mother of William. No one from Greene County knows anything about Lucinda, and this could be further evidence that Lucinda died young. There are no records of a Lucinda and George Burkett other than their marriage record.

We currently have four DNA contributors in the Bill Burkett family whose matches are being used in an attempt to confirm or deny some of the hypotheses presented here.

George's possible fathers

There are really five people so far who are likely parents of George. He and Isaac are of similar age, and end up moving to the Tennessee/Georgia border at about the same time. This might indicate they are siblings, but they could just as easily be cousins. George specifies in the 1880 census that his father was born in Pennsylvania. This makes most of the "younger" options less likely, as Frederick had been in Virginia at least since 1776! The people who could be George's father based on age are:

  • Frederick (Burkhart) Burkett (abt.1752-aft.1836) - born 1750-52 - he would be about 60 at George's birth. Not impossible. His wife would be about 50 at the time of George's birth. Frederick does indeed seem to be one oldest of the Burketts living in Greene, TN in the early 1800s. He is possibly one of the only in our research here who was born in Pennsylvania, and it seems pretty clear that all of his children were born in Virginia or Tennessee. There is more information on him below. For now, we have placed our George with Frederick, but the George below has strong possibilities too!
  • George - listed in the tax rolls of Green County in 1805 (as is Frederick above), and thus is an adult at least (whatever that might signify at the time) before our George's birth. He could be as old as a sibling of Frederick (and thus possibly born in Pennsylvania), or could be a sibling of Matthias, and likely born in Virginia. In any event, he would be old enough to be the father of our George. Interestingly enough, the family thought to belong to Matthias in Arkansas has descendants named Matthias AND George Washington. The family of our George Washington Burkett does not seem to have Matthias or Frederick at all. This could lean more in the favor of our George being a "son of George". In fact, two generations in a row (1811 and 1859) are named George Washington in our family.
  • Matthias - born about 1785 - in Virginia according the 1880 census of his presumed son William Burkett in Arkansas, which makes him unlikely. For many years it was considered that he was the father of our George Washington Burkett. However, there is also a George W. Burkett (1814-abt.1895) who moved to Arkansas and died in 1895. His ancestors seem to have firmly agreed that a number of siblings in Arkansas were all the children of Matthias Burkett and Susannah McNeese. In fact, it seems that this George's probable brother William may be the ancestor of the George Washington Burkett who lived in Humphreys County, Tennessee in the 1950s. He was thought to "not be related" to the descendents of our George, but it seems he certainly is, since we all trace back to Greene County, TN. This could be a situation of multiple people having copied "bad data", but there are definitely two distinct George Washington Burketts born in the 1810s in Greene County, Tennessee who have been conflated in the past, but who are separate. Thus, George born about 1811 is not expected to be the son of Matthias. Many family genealogies say that Matthias' father was Frederick. There is no immediate verifying information, but also nothing that would rule this out.
  • Abraham - married in 1807, and this is plenty early for him to be the father of our George Washington. No other records have yet been found for him and his wife Mary Frazier. If he's a son of Frederick, he was probably born in Virginia, and would not match the 1880 census records indicating that our George's father was born in Pennsylvania.
  • Michael - married in 1812 in Virginia, born in Virginia. Since our George has a range of 1809-1815 as his birth, that's possible as a timeline but the Virginia birth causes problems. Michael has a 20 year old child living in his household in 1850 who was born in Tennessee, so we know he had been in Tennessee since a least 1830 - possible much sooner. But he was married in Virginia, so we have to take that into account when looking at him as a possibility.

Early Greene County Burketts

In the early 1800s, these are the records we have for Greene County related to Burketts:

  • 1805 - Marriage record of Matthias Burkett and Susannah McNeese [1]
  • 1805 - F Burkheart tax list [2]
  • 1805 - George Burkett Tax List [3]
  • 1807 - Burkit, Abraham marries Frazier, Mary - 09 Nov 1807[4]
  • 1809 - Matthias Burkett Tax List [5] - oddly this list shows no other Burketts.
  • 1814 - Matthias Burkett Land record [6]
  • 1817 - Benjamin Starks and Elizabeth Burket, married 17 Jul 1817[7]
  • 1819 - Henry Burkett marriage to Polly Epley [8]
  • 1824 - Charles Walker and Peggy Burket, 13 Nov 1824[9]
  • 1827 - Jacob Burkett and Rebecca Waites, 02 Nov 1827[10]
  • 1828 - Isaac Burket and Elisa Waites, 01 Aug 1828[11]
  • 1829 - George Burkett & Lucinda Pinkston married [12]. Is it possible that Lucinda died, possibly in childbirth, and our George then married Mary Ann Henderson? In 1850, a son named William is in the household, age 19. Interestingly there is another child born later named William Henry. This might indicate a second marriage. While German families often use the same name and changed middle names, etc., we don't see much of this behavior in early Tennessee families!
  • 1830 - Frederick Burkett in Census [13]
  • 1830 - George Burkett in Census [14]
  • 1830 - Isaac Burkett in Census [15]

Greene County Timeline

From these records, we start to piece together possible birth dates of each of the Burketts in Greene County prior to 1830. For some of these I use dates that other family trees have suggested, but that may be no better than me merely guessing:

  • 1750 - Frederick - this is well established - he is likely to have had two or three wives, as he had children as early as 1776, and is possibly the Frederick who married Rachel Attershall 13 Oct 1786. He is no doubt also the Frederick married to Regina by 1788 (see Wives dilemma section below).
  • 1750-1780 - George found in tax roll 1805 - so he could be as old as Frederick, or he could be a "young" land owner in 1805. He does not seem to appear in the 1830 census (prior census records were lost), so it would not be out of the realm of possibility that he was a sibling of Frederick and died prior to the 1830 census. However, there IS a George in the neighboring Sullivan County in 1830 and 1840 who would have been born between 1771 and 1780. This could be a sibling of Frederick. If he is a child of Frederick, he would be born after 1776 (according to Frederick's pension application) and born in Virginia, not Pennsylvania, which would exclude him as a father for our George. In other words, in order for the George in Greene County to have been our George's father, this George would need to be Frederick's sibling, not son. Also, while it would not be outside the realm of possibility that Frederick would have two sons named George, if this George was Frederick's son, it would make it less likely that our George was also Frederick's son.
  • 1776 - an unknown child who was born the year Frederick went into the military. No evidence that this person was ever in Greene County, unless of course it is George who is in the 1805 tax list. See above why it's not thought likely to be the George in Green County,
  • 1785 - Matthias Burkett - (born Virginia) marries in 1805. We know of no actual records for him after 1814. Some people have suggested he was also called "Martin" and have linked him to a Martin who moved North. I have no reason to assume this.
  • 1786 - Abraham - (would need to have been born in Virginia) he marries in 1807.
  • 1797 - Elizabeth Burkett - (would need to have been born in Virginia) she marries in 1807.
  • 1794 - Michael Burkett (born Virginia) - he marries in Virginia in 1812, but moves to Greene County by the 1850 census. He is also there with his wife in 1860.
  • 1795 - Henry Burkett (born Virginia). His family says he was Henry Isaac Burkett - his would have been born between 1794 and 1796 according to three different census calculations - married in 1819.
  • 1801-1810 - George (could be ours if Lucinda died) - marries Lucinda Pinkstone in 1829
  • 1805 - Jacob - marries in 1827
  • 1805 - Margaret "Peggy" Burkett - marries in 1824
  • 1805-1815 - John - marries Melvina Crager in 1835. There is a John Burkett who writes an affidavit for Frederick in the early 1820s. If it's the same, he would need to have been born at least by 1805 I think.
  • 1808 - Isaac - marries in 1828, is in the 1830 census as 20-29 years of age
  • 1809-1815 - our George - he could be the George above if Lucinda died before 1850.

There is at least one family tree that attributes every one of these children to Frederick. In this case, at least Matthias, and perhaps Abraham, would be children of his first wife. He may have married Rachel Attershall in October of 1786, if we assume he is the same Frederick mentioned in that marriage in Augusta, Virginia. It does seem possible. But then unless Rachel was also "Regina", he had another wife by 1788, and many of these children could be hers.

As for whether he actually was the father of all of these Greene County residents, born through 1815, one reason why it might be unlikely that he had so many children after the war, is that he was wounded and said to be "in poor health" for much of his time in Tennessee, at least since 1805. Not impossible by any stretch. However, seeing that that the only sources for any of these Burketts show who they married, and none reference any children, one can also assume that at least Matthias and Abraham could be the parents of Jacob, Peggy, Isaac and our George, as they were both married before these birth dates. Also, the George in the 1805 tax record can be the parent of really any of the people on this list! He could be as old as Frederick, or he could be as young as Matthias! There are no other obvious records that can narrow this down.

Other family trees list additional children of Frederick, and we need to mention them here:

  • there would probably be a handful of children between 1776 and 1785, and yet none of the family trees found so far mention them. It seems that unless someone ended up in Greene County with Frederick, he or she has been lost to the family history.
  • 1788 - Frederick - there is a Frederick who marries in Washington County, Virginia in 1808. This could be him and he simply never came to Tennessee. His family suggests he went to Indiana. Washington County, Virginia is certainly "on the way" from Augusta Virginia to Tennessee, and could be a natural migration point for the family. There are other Burketts in Washington County, Virginia at the same time too - so this Frederick "could" be a child of Frederick, and if he is, there is no reason not to believe that some of the others might be as well: Here are a few of the Washington County records:

It is certainly simpler to focus on Greene County, Tennessee records, but there will certainly be more research to do in other neighboring counties as we move forward on this task! Indeed, since there is no definitive proof yet that our George is directly descended from the Greene County Burketts, we have more to work on. It's clear from DNA that they are all related somehow. Perhaps these Washington County Burketts could also be parentage possibilities! However our George indicates in many censuses that he himself was born in Tennessee, and that his father was born in Pennsylvania. Those are facts we keep returning to that lead us to Frederick, or perhaps the "other George" from 1805 tax records to be his father.

Fredericks

Frederick Burkett (abt.1720-) of Pennsylvania

Thus far, the only information we have on Frederick is in his son Frederick's pension application [16]. There is, however a Frederick Burkart in Philadelphia in the 1790 census. There are some young people in the family (1 male under 16 and unknown names of females), but there are 4 males over 16. There is really no way to know if this Frederick could be 70 years old! [17]

Frederick Burkett (abt.1750-aft.1837) of Greene County Tennessee

Son of the Frederick above, the main source information for the Burketts in Greene County, TN comes from pension applications for Frederick Burkett[16]. The date of the first application was 3 March, 1829, in which his name was listed as Frederick Burket. Over the course of this pension application file, Frederick is listed as being born 15 May 1750 in Philadelphia County, Pennsylvania, and his year of birth is also given as 1752. He states that there is no documentation of his birth, and that he is using the information given to him by his parents as to his age.

Date of Birth

Frederick's date/year of birth is stated or inferred a number of times in this pension application file.

  • 1750-51: In 1829 he was listed as being 78 or 79 years of age
  • 1752: in 1833 in his affidavit, John Balch lists Frederick as 81 years old
  • 1751: on 10 July 1834, it was stated Frederick would be 83 next August - thus August, 1751 would be a possible date of birth

Other Dates

  • 1781 - land was patented to him in Augusta County, Georgia. 1 Feb 1781
  • 1785 - this land was recorded 17 May 1785
  • 1788 - this land was delivered to David McKee (son of Samuel)[18]

Military Service

The locations and companies that Frederick cites in various affidavits are as follows:

  • 1776: under Captain David Bell - three month term. First entered service when called out to march against Native Americans at the frontier. He remembers the year due to it being the year when his first child was born
  • 1776: Volunteered under Capt. David Bell. This was the year of his first child's birth.
  • 1777: Battle of Germantown [October 4, 1777]]. 3 month term
  • 1780: Served three months up until Buford's defeat/Battle of Waxhaws May 29, 1780
  • 1781: Battle of Guilford Courthouse (North Carolina March 15, 1781]. 3 month term under Captain Smith [probably either Daniel Smith or Thomas Smith both of Augusta County militia and both of whom were in the battle of Guilford Courthouse] and Col. George Moffitt in the regiment from Staunton [Augusta County], Virginia
  • Three months as a prisoner guard in Albemarle Barracks
  • Total service 1 year and 3 months (Five 3 month terms are inferred)
  • He hired substitutes for 18 months.

His pension file also indicates that he lived in Augusta County, Virginia at the time of his Revolutionary War service, and that he lived in Virginia and then Tennessee after the war. He was wounded (cut with a sword) in the battle of Guilford, and was in several other battles. A later affidavit states he was hit in the neck with a musket ball. One of the witnesses for Frederick's pension states that Frederick was "shot in the head", and that Frederick's wife is about 70 in 1829. This would have her born about 1760. This would make sense for her to indeed be the Rachel Attershall who married Frederick a Burkett in Augusta County, in 1786. Of course, a woman born about 1760 could also have been the mother of a child born in 1776, and that would rule out this being the Frederick who married Rachel Attershall.

His file also states that his father was named Frederick as well, and his father had served in military fighting Native Americans before the Revolutionary War, but all of this Frederick's service had been in the Revolution.

In 1834 he lived in Greene County, but applied for additional pension funds in Hawkins County, as he said he lived near the County Line, and the closest Magistrate was in Hawkins County, and easier to access at his advanced age. In 1834 he stated that he had lived in Tennessee for 25 years. He was in the 1805 Tax Rolls for Greene County, which would have been 29 years. That's also the year that Matthias married, though, and we would expect they would have arrived at least sometime in 1804, if not sooner.

Wives

Frederick looks to possibly have had at least 3 wives named in records: Dorothy, Rachel Atterschall and Regina.

  1. Dorothy: Frederick and Dorothy sold property in Augusta County, Virginia in 1783 and 1785. If she was his first wife, she would be the mother of the "unknown" child born in 1776, and any of the children born before Frederick's possible marriage to Rachel Atterschall.
  2. Rachel Atterschall: A Frederick Burkett married Rachel Atterschall 13 Oct 1786. Most descendants had settled on the idea that she was the mother of all of his children after 1786, and that she moved with him to Tennessee, but that can only be true if she was also called Regina. After finding the land records with Dorothy and Regina, it puts into doubt whether Rachel Atterschall was married to this Frederick at all. They were married 13 Oct 1786, and Frederick and Regina were selling property on 19 Jun 1787. If they were married, she died very shortly after their marriage, and probably had no children.
  3. Regina: Frederick and Regina sold property in Augusta County, Virginia in 1787 and 1788. This was probably in anticipation of moving to Tennessee, as all of the known property of Frederick (and a few acres more!) was sold in the records by 1788. Frederick was on the tax rolls in Greene County TN by 1798. There is no doubt that the Frederick married to Dorothy was the same man as the Frederick married to Regina, as the property listed in the deeds is all related to the property in deeds that he purchased.

Georges

There are MANY Georges in the Burkett family post 1800. Sorting them out is quite a challenge.

George Burkett in Greene County, TN

This George is found in the tax rolls in Greene County in 1805 (as is Frederick above). Not much else is known about this George. He does not seem to appear in the Greene County census of 1830. A younger George does.


Henrys

Henry Isaac Burkett, Married in Greene County

A well documented Henry Burkett from Greene County, Tennessee, who migrated to Cannon County, and who had a son George Washington Burkett, born in about 1836, was Henry Isaac Burkett, married to Mary Magdalene Eply in Greene County, 1819.

If both this Henry and our George were brothers, then many of the DNA matches we are gathering make some sense. Currently the descendants of George Washington Burkett (abt.1811-aft.1880) have at least 8 DNA matches with descendants of Henry Isaac Burkett. The most favorable is a 3C3R at 43 cM, and 4C2R, which seems right on track for those relationships.


Isaacs

Locations

There are various locations other than Greene County, of course, where Burketts are found together in the 1700s 1800s. This section will attempt to link people together based on residence.

Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

Since Frederick lists Philadelphia as his birthplace in about 1751, Burketts in that area in the 1700s are very interesting

  • Jan 7 1763, Jacob Burket marries Barbara Fischer in the "Combined Christ Church and St. Peter's Church records [19]
  • 19 July 1766, birth Ann Burchitt, daughter of Samuel and Ann Burchitt. She was baptised in the Gloria Dei Church on 14 Dec 1766. [20]
  • 19 May 1772 William Barthkitt & Catharine Delany were married in the "Combined Christ Church and St. Peter's Church records [21] - the name is a possibility since Jacob Burket was married in the same parish. On the same page are Nathniel Ricketts & Hannah Barthot.
  • 3 Mar 1779 Andrew Burkitt & Rebecca Bowles marry in Philadelphia [22]
  • 30 July 1781 Peter Burkhard & Elizabeth Martin marry in Philadelphia [23]

Arkansas

In 1870, the following people were are in Cedar Creek, Crawford County, Arkansas:

The following are probable brothers, all on the same page in the census:

  • Jackson Burkett, born Tennessee about 1824 with children
  • Abraham Burkett, born 1830 Tennessee, living with Jackson
  • GW Burkett, born Arkansas about 1839 with wife Angeline

If they are all brothers, they are probably sons or grandsons of Matthias burkett and Susanna McNeese, as other children attributed to them moved to Arkansas. Matthias and Susanna have children who supposedly went to Arkansas.
