RESEARCHER: Information sent to T.Mason from Juli Dalton [julidalton@gmail.com] on 23Feb2002. "Nathaniel Burden didn't die til after the 1860 Census, as he is listed there with his wife, Sarah, and children, David C., 21, Sarah, 16, George W., 12, and Nathaniel, 8. By this census record, Nathaniel could not have been born in 1841, but in 1851. George W. and Nathaniel are also listed in the same household with their mother, niece, and married sister in the 1870 Census."
QUESTION: Was he born in Tennessee?
RESEARCHER: Information sent to T.Mason from Juli Dalton [julidalton@gmail.com] on 23Feb2002. "Margaret married Eli Freestone, the first sheriff of San Saba County, Texas. They were listed in the 1860 Census of Grimes County, Texas, and then they disappear. They had two children, C.C., who died in 1860, around a year old, and Louisa, who is then found living with her aunt, Sarah Burden and her 2nd husband in the San Saba, Texas, 1870 Census. Her grandmother, Sarah McKinney Burden is living in the same household. Louisa's daughter, Sallie Jane Allison Collins, had a family Bible with Grandmother Burden listed in it, and said that her mother was raised by her Grandmother Burden."
GEDCOM file from Joe Cannon, Bay City, TX in Jul 1998 to T. Mason;
I have conflicting sources for this child. My records taken from the 1850 Texas census indicate that M. Bourden was born in Arkansas in 1841. Information taken fron the Ancestral File (see below) indicate that a Nathaniel BUrden was born to this family in Tennessee in 1841.
Conclusions:
1. There was another child unknown to either source.
2. There were twins, Nathaniel and M..
3. There was an error in the 1850 census and "M." is really Nathaniel.Until I can confirm, I will do the work for Nathaniel and defer decision on "M." until confirmation.

The Ancestral File list the 5th child of Nathaniel Bourden (Burden) and Sarah McKinney as "Sarah" Burden, born in 1842. She is probably the same person as "Susan" listed on the 1850 census. I'll not make any changes until confirmation.
RESEARCHER: Information from Bradley Canon [poll40@uky.edu] to T.Mason on 3 Oct 2003. "He came to Lexington between 1787 and 1790 where he was a prominent physician and citizen. He was a large landowner, member of the Board of Trustees of Transylvania College and helped organize Lexington's first library in 1795. Richard was active in the development of horse racing in Lexington. Along with his brother Samuel he was a charter member of the Jockey Club formed in 1797 and both served on its membership committee."
GEDCOM from Sue Hodnett, Caldwell, ID in Aug1998 to T. Mason; NOTES: This son of Francis was said to have served in the Revolutionary War as a surgeon's assistant, in Colonel Griffith's battalion of the Flying Camp of the Patriot Army, Maryland line, Sept. 6, 1776. He served through the whole war. Afterwards he settled in Lexington, and went into practice as a doctor somewhere around 1790. However, a researcher I recently engaged, said she could find no record of Richard's military service in Maryland. So I am wondering where other researchers got this information.
He was buried in the old Baptist Graveyard which is now destroyed. He server on the Board of Trustree of the Transylvania Seminary. REF: mainly Ross Downing society. (There is possibility of confusion with another Richard born in 1777.)
He is not listed on the 1776 Harford County, Maryland census, but may well have been away from home because other records link him with Francis.
Richard and brother, Samuel, both married Webb sisters, daughters of William Webb.
Richard is an adult by 1781, as he is charged for non-attendance as juror. Some early records listed him as being born 1777/78, and then being in the Revolutionary War in 1776 as surgical attendant. I didn't buy that at all. I am convinced, and the records bear out, that he had to be born about 1755/56. Richard and Francis convey Harford County land in 1790. They left Maryland for Kentucky about that time.DEATH: [HYPERLINK http://local.lexpublib.org/detail.cfm?counter=60468 ]
