Amanda Burdette's death is listed on a card at the Evansville Public library. It lists
her children as:
Sons: Waldo, Rev Ezekiel, James C
Daughters: Mrs. Harry Keelor (Clara), Mrs. C C Blankford, Mrs. Sanny Turner, Mrs. James
Blankard
I believe her oldest daughter, Paulina/Melinda, went by Lina for the 1900 census of
Owensborough, Daviess Co, Kentucky where she is listed with husband Thomas Blanford.
Lina's birthdate is listed as June 1850, which matches with Malinda's age of 2/12
in the 1850 census. Amanda Burdette is enumerated with them, listed as mother-in-law. The
birthplaces for her parents are correctly listed as New York, as they are in the 1910 and
1920 censuses.
Amanda and John are also listed with the family of Horace Burdette in Pigeon Twp,
Vanderburgh Co, Indiana in 1900. Amanda's parents birthplaces are given incorrectly,
so I wonder if perhaps she was visiting her daughter and someone else provided her
information for this listing.
I haven't been able to trace Rosina, Frances or Nancy after the 1970 census. Clara is
the youngest daughter but is listed first on the death record, so I don't know which
married name goes with which daughter. And since Lina's husband's name is Thomas
Blanford instead of James Blankard, the accuracy of the other information is suspect.
Do you have any information on where John and Amanda are buried?
