    • 1850 Census Chesterfield District, South Carolina
      Burch, John S. 28 M NC
      Burch, Lucy H. 24 F NC
      Burch, William P. 4 M NC
      Burch, Susanna T. 1 F SC

      Burch, Joseph W M 11 son at school SC NC NC
      Smith, Perry B M 20 servant farm labor SC SC SC
      Porter, Fannie W F 14 boarder servant IL SC NC

      From Bart Morgan: "John and Lucy had 10 children and moved to Texas after the civil war."

      Janie: An assumption can be made that this family was considered fairly well to-do as there is a slave census for 1860 that counts 3 slaves over age 55; 9 between the ages of 18 and 55; and the other 17 must be children of the adults. John's parent's home and buildings were burned when Sherman's army came through Chesterfield County. I don't know about John and Lucy's home, but the whole family had to be affected and thus the move to Texas.

      It should be noted that in both census above John has indicated that he was born in North Carolina; even his son Joseph says his father was born in North Carolina.

      ****
      According to the Burch Family Book by W. Bernette Burch, "They moved to Texas after the war."
