Hello Ed, My name is Rhonda and Brenda refered me to you and she also said to tell you
hello. I am searching for information on my Greatgreat grandmother Charity Burke who was
married to William Rufus Humbard(Humbird). They migrated here (Missouri) from Cocke Co.
Tenn. I had a volunteer go to the records at the courthouse in Cocke County and she
verified that Charity's mother was Jane Burke daughter of Joseph and Polly Mary
Mantooth. I have many questions and so far this is all I can find out. Could you please
help me to unravel all this as Charity in the censuses aways lived with others. In the
1860 census she lived with James and Mary Mantooth at the age of 13. In 1850 she lived
with Joseph and Mary Burke at age 3. What happened to her mother and who was her father?
