• Notes

  This is taken from the book "Descendants of William "Billy" Burge (Byrge) compiled by Neal B. Byrge According to the 1850 Federal Census Records of Anderson County Tennessee, William BURGE was head of household age 76, b. in North Carolina. Wife Juda, age 48 b. in Tennessee. I cannot find any birth, marriage or death records on William or Juda. Willaim last appeared on the 1860 Federal Census Records for Anderson County Tennessee. Juda last appeared on the 1870 Federal Census Records for Anderson County Tennessee. I was told by McKinley JONES, a family member, that Juda's maiden name was LAWSON. I cannot document this information. Campbell County Tennessee Deed Index 1804 - 1890 shows Willaim BURGE deeded land to Samuel LAWSON in 1847. William received from the State of Tennessee a 500-acre grant in Campbell County in 1836. According to information furnished me by, Oscar Phillips, William "Billy" BYRGE acquired land on Cages Creek in Anderson County Tennessee, he owned everything from the mouth of Cages Creek to the head, and to the tops of the mountain on both sides. He later sold his land for $800.00. He lived in a bottom just below the county bridge that crosses the river on the road to Charley's Branch and Rosedale. NOTE: I am told by Obal BYRGE, Oliver Springs, Tennessee, that he examined a bible in the possession of W.B. West, and the entries indicate that William was b. 6 Feb 1776 and d. 26 Dec 1862. Juda was b. 1802 and d. 7 Jul 1875, I have no idea where either of them are buried. Based on information contain in the Federal Census records, William d. aft. 1860, Juda d. aft. 1870.
