Generation No. 2


2. THOMAS PETERSON ’37 ’502 BURGE (WILLIAM1) was born 1790 in Virginia ’37 ’50, and died February 09, 1870 in Muhlenburg Co., Kentucky. He married ELIZA A. ’37 ’50 PALMER February 26, 1817 in Wilson Co., Tennessee, daughter of FRANCES PALMER and NANCY KING.

Notes for THOMAS PETERSON ’37 ’50 BURGE:
MILITARY RECORD: During the War of 1812, Peterson Burge enrolled himself as a volunteer to be in readiness to serve a six month tour, if needed, for the term of two years in the Virginia Volunteer Cavalry from Sussex County, Virginia.

He was called into service in early 1814 and continued in actual service for a term of two months while being commanded by Capt. William Peters under the command of Maj. Thomas Hunton at Norfolk, Virginia.

By a General Order, he was honorably discharged from the service on March 18, 1814 at Norfolk, Virginia.

His term of service having expired after the campaign at Norfolk, he joined a company of cavalry commanded by a Capt. Ross of Dinwiddie County and, in September, was again called into service.

His company was stationed at Petersburg, Virginia and, after a term of one month, he was again honorably discharged.



LAND GRANTS: On November 21, 1850, in Wilson County, Tennessee, Peterson Burge filed a declaration to obtain bounty land, which he was entitled to, for military service of the United States in the War of 1812.

This declaration was sworn to before Justice of the Peace William Holmes. The statement was received and certified by Josiah Mclain, Clerk of the Wilson County Court.

This land was claimed under a law passed by Congress on September 28, 1830 granting land to veterans of the War of 1812.

Census and marriage records of Peterson Burge and his decendants were found at the Clayton Library in Houston, Harris co., Texas by his great-great-great granddaughter, Beverly Edmonds Downs and her husband, Fred.
While checking an Everton Publisher's Geneological CD ROM, a marriage entry in Denton County, Texas for a Burge was found. The submitter turned out to be Lavern Zalmanzig of Oklahoma City, a distant cousin of Beverly's.
Lavern had been researching the Burge family for more than ten years and had a wealth of information which she gladly shared with Beverly.
Peterson Burge was found on Family Tree Maker CD #316, 1840 Wilson Co., Tennessee, Page 66.
