Hello Listers, My information is pretty sparse, but I will post it
anyway, in the hope that someone can tie into it. The following is a
from the Clark County News, Wyacona, Missouri, July 28, 1921
"Minerva Jane ANDERSON, was born Sept. 29, 1844, in Harrison Co.,
Indiana and departed this life July 22, 1921. At the time of her death,
she was 76 yrs. 9 months and 23 days of age. When she was two years old
her mother died and soon after, her people moved to Lee County, Iowa.
From Iowa, they came to Missouri when she was about 14 years old. She
was united in marriage to Thomas J. BURKETT, February 26, 1859. To this
union were born nine children, three sons and six daughters. W. E.
BURKETT and George S. (Sherman) BURKETT, of Wyaconda, MO.----------"
I have also seen a hint that Thomas BURKETT, also came from Harrison
County, Indiana
George E. (?) BURKETT, who I believe was my husbans father, died in 1940
in Ukiah, Mendocino Co. CA. he married Bessie Blanche KERFOOT, on Dec.
27, 1913, in Clark Co. MO. There children were: Virgil Eston, Leonard
Edison and Hubert BURKETT. The family moved to Idaho in the 1920's. I
would like to find any information about Minerva and Thomas in Harrison
Co. Just where they were located and who were their parents and
siblings. Thank You, Margaret in NV
