OLIVER H. P. BURCH
Oliver H.P. Burch was born in Rives Co. (now St. Clair), Missouri. On the
1850 & 1860 census, Oliver is living in the household of James M. & Mary Ann
Brackenridge.
1840 Rives Co., MO census list two Burch households: John Burch and Robert
Burch. Comparing the 1840 census data to 1850, Mary Ann was either the
daughter, or the daughter-in-law, of Robert Burch.
Robert Burch was apparently widowed at the time of his death in 1850. His
children, judging by 1850 St. Clair Co., MO households were: Mary Ann
(Daughter or daughter-in-law), born 1822 VA; married James M. Brackenridge
and had son Thomas R. Brackenridge and possibly son Oliver H.P. Burch, and
daughters Eve Rebecca and Margaret V. Brackenridge; Alfred L., born 1828 VA
who married Sarah and had children Robert James and Jane; Benjamin F., born
1832 VA and had son Oliver; Jane, born 1830 VA; Miranda, born 1834 Va; and
Roancy, born 1836 VA. There were probably others not accounted for in St.
Clair County.
From early census data, the family of John Burch was: wife Magdalene;
children: William W., Alfred, Almira, Green L., Caroline V. William and
Alfred were born in Indiana, the rest were born in Missouri.
Oliver appears to have been either the son of Mary Ann (Burch) Brackenridge,
or a much younger brother. He married 1st Martha Adeline McLain in 1869.
She died in 1894 and Oliver married 2nd Fannie B. [?] about 1895. Martha
Adeline and son Austin D. are buried in Pleasant Grove cemetery. Oliver and
wife Fannie B. are not listed in St. Clair County cemetery records.
