I have found several references to "Burget's Corner" in
Clinton County
(around 1850). Can anyone tell me about this area?
Connie,
Below is an excerpt from an email message I received a couple of years ago
from a gentleman that was living in Clinton County. Burget's Corner is where
my g-grandparents were married by John W. Bacon, Justice of the Peace on
Aug. 12, 1862.
(Note: The James Wesley Adair mentioned was this man's g-g-grandfather.)
"Burget's Corner was started by James Wesley Adair's wife, Rachel
Burget's
family in
1831. They are buried about 200 yards to the north of me and where Burget's
Corner stood (it died in the 1880s with the coming of the railroad) is about
one mile south of my location. I am the local high school history teacher
and about the only person left that knows anything about Burget's Corner."
Sorry, but that is all that I know about it. Perhaps someone else can add more.
