    The will of Fleming Burke, Senior was dated Oct. 12, 1846 and was probated Mar. 7 , 1848 in Russell County, Virginia. (Will Book 6, page 121, Russell Co., VA.) It was proven 5 April 1848 & 21 May 1848. In it he gives 6 slaves variously to his legatees. But, one, he specified the following: "I liberate, manumit, and forever set free my Negro woman slave Betsy, now upwards of forty years of age, in consideration of her faithfulness in serving and attending to me and my family; and I set apart out of my estate the sum of fifty dollars to be placed in the hands of my son William, as trustee for her, or in case of his death or refusal to take charge of it, then in the hands of my executor, to be applied for the use and benefit of said Betsy, as said trustee or executor may think proper to apply it, until it may all be exhausted". The Motto on the Coat of Arms of the Burk family: Ung - Roy , One King; Ung - Foy, One Faith; Ung - Loy, One Law. Another possible spelling of the first name: FLEMYN, rather than Fleming. Fleming Burke, Senior had a brother named John Burk(e). That John Burk(e) married a Rebecca Vermillion. Fleming Burk shows up on the Russel Co Personal Propery Tax List for the first time in

    Notes:

    A descendant of John Burke and Rebecca Vermillion Burke, Mary E. Skelton of Marietta, Georgia, wrote the following on October 15, 1984 to I. F. Burke of Lexington, KY: "I am descended from John Burke, brother of Fleming Burke, Senior, and his wife (John's) Rebecca Vermillion of Russell Co. (VA). They went to Illinois in 1830 and lived out their lives there. They and many of their descendants are buried in a beautiful country cemetery 1/2 miles from where I was born and raised. (She does not state where that is). We were there in early Sept. (1984) for the first reunion of the one-room country school I attended. Land for it was given by one of John's sons, another son gave land for the local Methodist Church, and my great-grandfather Burke gave land for another country school down the road. Robert E. Burke (now I remember) probably mentioned Imogene Verdal, P.O. Box 754, St. Paul, Virginia 24283. I have corresponded with her for some time. She is descended from Fleming Burke, Junior through his son Samuel Burke, Isaiah Nathaniel Burke, Samuel Jesse Burke. Her Samuel Burke and your Isaiah F. Burke were brothers. If I have your line correct it is: Fleming Burke, Senior, b. Nov. 29, 1767 - d. 23 Feb.,1848, wife/Rebecca (Miller? Bush?). Fleming Burke, Junior, b. 1802, d. after July 1870, married Nancy Jessee. Isaiah Fuller Burke, b. ca 1832, d. 1877/78, m/Martha A. with known children: David, b. 1854; Mary C., b. July 1856; Henry S.F. or L., b. 8 April 1860; and a dau. b. ca 1857, evidently died. You say he m. a second time SARAH HOLDWAY and they had a family: Isaiah Fuller Burke (1 of 10 ch.)" (Note: This letter was written to I. F. Burke, III.) She continues with some notes about Polly, the daughter of Fleming Burke, Senior, who married Isaiah Fuller. I will place those notes in Polly Burke's biographical sketch. The Russell Co., VA, Will Book 5:220 lists a will June 30, 1839 by BURK: one of the legatees is "Rebecca, daughter of Jessee Vermillion".

    • _UID: 2517736AF0BF4191A2AA53634A3198742363

    Notes:

    Polly Burke died before 1846 because the will of her father, Fleming Burke, Senior, made Oct. 1846, probated March 7, 1848 listed her children as his heirs. The man Polly married, William Isaiah Fuller, was admired enough by his father-in-law that he was made Administrator of Burke's estate. My grandfather Burke was named Isaiah Fuller Burke by his father who was Fleming Burke, Junior. So, it is apparent that he felt no resentment about the respect and affection given to William Isaiah Fuller. In fact, the name "Isaiah Fuller" has followed into two later generations of Burkes: "Zade" and "I.F." Burke were both named "Isaiah Fuller" Burke, even though there is no blood kinship to the Fuller family. - Virginia Rhoades. In a letter to Isaiah Fuller "I.F." Burke, of Lexington, Ky, on October 15, 1984, Mary E. Skelton of Marietta, Georgia (a descendant of John Burke who was a brother of Fleming Burke, Senior) states as follows: "Fleming Burke, Senior, had a daughter Polly who married William Isaiah Fuller. She had died by date of Fleming's will dated 12 Oct. 1846, probated 7 March, 1848. Among heirs were grandchildren, children of deceased daughter, Polly Fuller, to receive slave Harvey, bed and furniture and $200. Isaiah Fuller was Administrator of estate even though Fleming had 4 living sons in Russell County, VA. He must have been much favored and it's obvious where the name came from in your line".

    Polly married William Isiah Fuller 1817, , Russell, Virginia, USA. William (son of Abraham Fuller and Mary) was born 1796, Honaker, Russell, Virginia, USA; died 3 Dec 1878, , Scott, Virginia, USA. [Group Sheet]
