John Burke was born 9 October 1813 to Joseph Burke (1761-1856) and died 2 January 1894 of unspecified causes. He married Julia Elizabeth Lloyd (1819-1888) .
Connecting John Burke to his father has turned into the big black hole. Although he is shown in Census records living with Joseph and Mary because of the fire in the Cocke County courthouse no documentation exists of births or marriages.
John and Julia moved to Arkansas from Tennessee later in life. Please add any comments here or on the talk page.
