Second Generation3. I am re-thinking the ages of these sons of Israel. In light of the new document (see year 1814 for George) showing George as the original petitioner in 1812 for the probating of Israel's estate, things are now making sense. 1812 George petitions the court What this means to me is that the order is as follows: 1. George born 1755 [112] ASSOCIATORS AND MILITIA. A CLASS ROLL OF CAPTAIN PATRICK HAINEY'S COMPANY. (c.) 1st Class. 1. Thomas Bradshaw. 6. Dominick Donally. 2. Moses Beaman. 7. Earnest Baker. 3.

Single Freeman = over the age of 21. This Jacob is on page 22 almost next door to Israel. He has a wife and 3 sons. This Jacob is definitely mine as the other Burkets are NOT in the county until way after 1800. See my Burket Tax Record Study. There is a John Burket who is about 45 or so on the 1790 census in Bedford County. After doing my tax study I have identified him as John Jacob Burket who came after the war, settled Allegheny Township and who is buried in Fairfield Township in the Burket cemetery. St. Clair Township was settled in 1794 according to the history of Bedford, Somerset and Fulton Counties by Waterman and Watkins. by 1800 Jacob is there. If St. Clair was settled in 1794 then this is interesting as a Jacob Burket is on the tax lists in 1792 with a warrant for 100 acres of land in Bedford Township. This is definitely mine. He recieved a warrant for land in On Dunnings Creek, Bedford, Pennsylvania in 1794 Jacob BURGART applied for 150 acres on Dunnings Creek waters, situate and adjoining on the west side of a tract of land belonging to Thomas BIGLOR and north of Peter FOXes land including a small spring and two small runs as far as they run through it. Price: 50 shillings per 100 acres, with interest to commence from 09 May 1794. Warrant granted 09 May 1794; executed. This peice of land could actually be not far from the Oury Bridge Tract on which George resided. Parts of Dunnings Creek are quite close to the Raystown Branch of the Juanita, two miles of Bedford. The other part of Dunnings Creek is in what is now East St. Clair. Interesting. This could be Jacob's home for quite some time while he ws in St.Clair. YES, Jacob shows up on tax lists in 1796 in ST CLAIR with 150 ACRES!!! YES, this IS his warrant and his land. St. Clair Township was organized in 1794. East and west st. Clair didn't happen until 1875! He was taxed in 1796 in , Bedford, Pennsylvania The acres match the number of acres for a warrant from the state of Pennsylvania in 1794 for land! Attributed to the 'other' Burkets in the book 'Burket Trails and Tales.' Jacob was taxed in 1798 in St. Clair Township, Bedford County, Pennsylvania 1 cabbin 26 x 20 adjoining the properties of Isaac Fisher. Jacob is a property owner on 150 acres of land valied at 170 dollars in 1798 on this Federal Tax List. He appeared in the census in 1800 in Saint Clair/Bedford Township area, Bedford, Pennsylvania.37 10010-41001-00 (This is backwards. Should be 41001-10010. index is retarded.) Jacob BURGET 41001 10010 1800 St. Clair, Bedford.
5 boys and one girl Jacob is over 45 and wife is 26-45. this means he was born before 1755. Four of the boys are under 10 and one is 10-15. The girl is under 10. Jacob is only burket on 1800 in bedford. John Bausser is on same page. page 444. That is because it is alphabetical. Oh well. Peter Swoveland was in Saint Clair. There was a John Smith on the 1800. 21010-30010-00 Jacob Moses is on 1800 in St. Clair/Bedford Township area...is over 45. He was the sureties guy on Israels estate records.... I learned that estates are often administered by relatives or CREDITORS. I'll bet that is why these two guys were the administrators....Israel owed. Check the probate records that I have that list creditors. I just spent about two hours going over EVERY person on the Bedford County Census for 1800. Jacob is the ONLY Burket or any other variation of the spelling in the county......Peter Swoveland is there as well as his father in law and several other Bowsers. There are a lot of Stifflers as well. ONE Swoveland. ONE Burket. INTERESTING. As I recall, part of the 1800 was destroyed. Is that a rumor or is it true? Now I must do the same thing in Somerset County. He signed a will in 1801 in St Clair Township, Bedford County, Pennsylvania. Jacob is mentioned in the following abstract to will: Mooher, Matthias, late of St. Clair Township. Will dated 21 January 1801; no brobate date. Names: wife Susannah; children: Daniel, Catherine, John, Joseph, Samuel, all minors under teh age of sizteen. Executor: Samuel Way, Valentine Hoster. Witnesses: Eli Robes, Jacob Burket. Bedford County Will book Volume I page 154 Jacob appeared in the census in 1810 in Saint Clair Township, Bedford County, Pennsylvania. Spelled Burkit, almost missed it!!!! YES!! This is mine!!! Page 533 20101-21001 Well, there you have it!!! Two boys under 10, one boy 16-25, and Jacob is over 45. Two girls under 10, one 10-16 and wife is over 45. INTERESTING. Living next to Jonathan Fleck on one side and Paul and Jacob Mock on the other side. Wonder if Jacob married a Catherine Mock. At any rate, his son Abraham DID marry a Mock!
and a John Burket 10100-00100 so age 16-25 , wife also with one son under 10 In 1810 the Jacob who married Barbara Fisher would be 70 years old. He was born in 1740. This same Jacob and John are in Greenfield in 1820. The old Jacob would have been 80. These guys are: Jaocb: 210020-31010-03 which is two males 26 to 45 and two under 10, one 10-16 with three girls under 10 and one 10-16 wife is 26 to 45. Three are engaged in agriculture. John: 320010-20010-02 which is one male 26-45 and three under 10, two 10-16 with two girls under 10 and wife is 26 to 45. By 1830 there is a Jacob Junior a Samuel and a John in Greenfield. John is: 012210100000and on with wife 1200001 which means John is 40 to 50 (consistent with 1810 and 1820) and has a 20-30 year old son and two boys 15-20 two 10-15 and one boy 5-10. Wife is 40 to 50 and they have one girl 0-5 and two 5-10. SO SAME JOHN Jacob Burket Junior is 0111101 and wife is 0121101 he is age 40 to 50 even though it says JUNIOR!! SO this is the same SAME Jacob!!!!!! And he is being called JUNIOR!!! Which means that his father is around!!!!!!! Samuel is 3111001 which means 40-50. Wife is 0011001 also 40 to 50 BUT with a female age 80 to 90. GUESS WHAT? THIS IS BARBARA FISHER BURKET!!! JACOB JUNIOR IS CALLED JUNIOR BECAUSE HIS MOM IS STILL ALIVE!! He was living in 1812 in St Clair Township, Bedford County, Pennsylvania. Jacob had land next to Samuel Way and Thomas Vickroy and Isaac Fisher. This information from a petition for letters of administration over the estate of Isaac Fisher in St. Clair Township on 27 January 1812 in the Orphan's Court Records for Beford County, Pensylvania. He was taxed in 1814 in St. Clair Township, Bedford, Pennsylvania Only Burket in St. Clair. This is the year he asks for the administration of his father's will. He is about 65. In 1814 Jacob was an a distiller with stock valued at $563 in St. Clair Township, Bedford County, Pennsylvania. Early Distillers of Beford County Pennsylvania He appeared in the census in 1820 in St Clair Township, Bedford County, Pennsylvania. 011101 01201 02 engaged in agriculture Jacob and wife are over 45 and they have 3 boys one 10-16, one 16-18 and one 16-26 They have one girl 10-16 and two 16-26. Big family. Living next door to an Abraham who is Jacob's son. Abraham is 26-45 and has a son under 10 and a daughter also under 10 and his wife is 16-26. Jacob and Abraham are the only two Burkets on the 1820 in bedford spelled Burget. Interesting. Both in Saint Clair and both on the same page. Abraham is probably the oldest son of Jacob...so is no longer in the household but rather married and living next door. Living next to Levi Lamborn. Could Catherine have been a Lamborn? Next page from Jacob is Jacob Mock (of Abraham). Interesting. Could my Jacob have married a Catherine Mock? WOW. Food for thought. The other Jacob is in greenfield township same year and spelled Burket.
Three houses down is John Moorhead. There is a Jacob Burket that married Sarah Moorehead. For what it's worth. Jacob is living next door to Peter Imler and about 3 other Imlers Jacob was taxed in 1832 in St. Clair Township, Bedford, Pennsylvania39 Interesting!!! Next to: Abraham BURKET, 150 acres (improvement), 1 horse, 1 cow, $100. Isaac BURKET, 200 acres (improvement), 1 cow, $25. This is two years before his property is probated. There is a warrant involved here. This means I need to try to find this info on the warrant index or whatever. Actually, this is probably the land on Dunnings Creek. BUT, do my homework and find for sure. I have this info for Jacob Senior and it belongs with him because Jacob Junior who was the executor 2 years later for his father's estate had moved to Greenfield Township. He died on 31 January 1834 in St Clair Township, Bedford County, Pennsylvania. Age is about 85!!! Souce is jespat@alum.bucknell.edu. Death date is attributed to the OTHER Jacob on her site, but it is for MINE. Does it come from a headstone? Another site lists April 1 1835 as the death date for Jacob who married Barbara Fisher. THat is probably the correct date! Mine in 1834, the other 1835. But I am still not convinced Jacob 1740 ever came to Bedford. Maybe in the 1830s. Maybe right before his death. Still another lists 17 April 1835 as death date of the 1740 Jacob who married Barbara Fisher. He had his estate probated on 3 February 1834 in , Bedford, Pennsylvania.40 John Claar, Joseph B Ake both on census in Union Township where Jacob's oldest son John Jacob lived and was enumerated in 1830.

Could Jacob have also married a Mock? A Catherine Mock?
Work done by nephew, George Burkett Jr. in 1841. See Nauvoo Temple book A Listed as 'engaged in agriculture' on the 1820 Census. Son also engaged in agriculture and living in household. Just learned that if a family used a 'spiritual' first name for one child, they ususally used the same for all children, thus George was christened Johan Georg, and that means Jacob was probably christened Johan Jacob, Christopher was probably christened Johan Christian. Interesting. page 191. According to the Jacob Emery Burket letter from Claysburg, Pa Jacob had 5 sons and 3 daughters. Jacob shows up in St. Clair Townsip, Bedford on the 1800 with 5 sons and one daughter! cool. Jacob Emery was right!!!! Could the John on the 1790 census be John Jacob Burket and the Jacob be the 1740 jacob? I think it is the other way around because the Jacob is next door to Israel. Cool. Interesting; John Bausser is on same page in St. Clair 1810 Census. Carns,Imlers, griffiths next to Jacob on 1810. MOcks, James Smith, JOHN SMITH!!! Could it be???Robert Smith also. DO. All these on same page in St. Clair. INTERESTING Jacob is only Burket in St. Clair on this page, possilby in all St. Clair. Makes sense. The other burkets, cousins, were in Greenfield and there were a few. Jacob and John are the only burkets in greenfield township. Possible other Jacob on 1790. listed as jacob burcorn on page 22. Is the only Burcorn on the census. Possible error. Interesting. Looked at original, and it does look like Burcon or Burcorn. He has one son under 16, two over 16 and one daughter...and wife. So, older kids. This could be the OTHER Jacob in Londondery later Allegheny Township. Jacob BURGET 41001 10010 1800 St. Clair, Bedford. There is a Jacob that married a Margaretha Kohlman 11 Oct 1785 in DISTRICT TOWNSHIP in Berks County, Pa. Reverend William Boos married them. I just wonder if this is our jacob. This would account for his not being around in 1772. By then he would have been 34 or 35. Interesting. Would have to be a Margaret Catherine. Following are all burkets in the directory listed as residents of Mowry's Mills which is where the descendants of Jacob Burket , son of Israel were supposedly from according to a letter written in 1957 by Jacob Emory Burket, also a later descendant born 23 March 1878. I received this information from Chryl Wimer. I received the directory information from a cousin. 1879 Directory, King Township: Burket Chas huckster Sarah 45 Burket Elias farmer Mowry's Mills 45 Burket Franklin laborer Mowry's Mills 45 Burket Jacob farmer Mowry's Mills 45 Burket Mary Mowry's Mills 45 Burket Michael farmer Mowry's Mills 45 Burket Samuel D laborer Mowry's Mills 45 Burket Solomon farmer Mowry's Mills 45 Burket Thomas farmer Mowry's Mills 45 Mowry's Mills was named after Andrew Mowry, one of the last owners of a grist mill built in 1807. Town was changed to Weyant at some point. The following book is on the shelve in SLC and supposedly has a pedigree for Jacob 1811 the descendant of this Jacob that may mention Israel. I need to check this out. Title A history of Blair County, Pennsylvania
There were three Revolutionary War Jacob Burkets who settled in the area: Mine, son of Israel who served only in the local Bedford County Militia, the Jacob who married Barbara Fisher who enlisted in Lancaster and did not come to the county until between 1820-1830 (his son Jacob, however, first shows up on the tax lists in 1807) and the Jacob who settled in Allegheny Township area (Londonderry) 1785 and is buried in the Burket Cemetery in Fairhope Township.
Look at this info for Peter Mock. St. Clair Township!!!!! So the Abraham Burket who married Elisabeth Mock. MUST BE MINE! Elisabeth is daughter of Peter, grandaughter of Peter immigrant below. See Related Families Folder. LOOK AT THIS: JOHN BOWSER is in here too! Jacob Burket (Farmer, Distiller) and Catherine were married between 1781 and 1785 in of Bedford Township, Bedford, Pennsylvania. The marriage date is figured from the tax lists. He is a single freeman in 1781 and then by 1785 is married. 60 to 70 on the 1830 Catherine41 was born about 1762 in of Saint Clair, Bedford County, Pennsylvania. between 1760 and 1770 according to the 1830 census but they were married between 1781 and 1785 according to the tax lists so she was probably closer to 1760 otherwise she would be only 16 or so when married. Name Catherine from the Deed associated with the probate of the estate of Israel Burket, father of Jacob Burket. Jacob Burket (Farmer, Distiller) and Catherine had the following children:
