Thanks Dee and Gregg,
Isn't genealogy great! I was never much of a history buff, and considered
geography boring. Goodness, I can't learn enough.
Best wishes,
Connie

Subject: Re: [INCLINTO-L] Burget's Corner
Connie,
Burgets Corner was a corner of an intersection, about a mile or so north of
what is now Scircleville. I believe there was a meeting hall, store, and
perhaps a church. The area around Burgets Corners was owned in part by the
Orr family (that's what I have been told) Matthew Elijah Orr enlisted there
and used it as his home of record in 1862. Some of my Ryans also enlisted
in
the Union Army at Burgets Corner. I had it marked on my map, but I
seem to
have misplaced it. When I find it I will tell you what intersection it was
in
present day Clinton County.
Perhaps someone knows the intersection of the county roads it was located.
