According to my information, Samuel S. Burdette, M.D., was born in TN and came to Polk
Co., MO, at the time that Joseph and Hannah Cavin moved there along with several of their
children, in approx. 1845. Dr. Burdette was married to Polly, daughter of Joseph and
Hannah, either in TN or later in MO. Polly was born on 11/15/1825, Bedford Co., TN, and
died on 7/26/1846, Polk Co., MO.
Dr. Burdette later marrid Polly's sister, Sarah Ann Elizabeth Cavin, who was born in
Bedford Co., TN, and died in Polk Co., MO, on the dates you stated and is buried in the
Burdette-Cavin Cemetery. I have some info on at least some of their children, and one was
named Samuel Stewart Burdette, which may be the reason that some sources show Sarah Ann
Elizabeth's husband, Dr. Samuel S. Burdette, as being born in MO.
