Burdine Cousins,
I am esppecially delighted with the information that links
Eziekel as
Nathaniel's son.
"References to Nathaniel and Ezekiel
Burdine in the Journal and Letters of
Bishop Francis Asbury compiled by Leland Burdine Tate,
Blacksburg, Virginia
November 1960."
"Friday, September 26, 1800. (In a letter from Van Pelt's
in tennessee to John
Page, Pastor on the Cumberland Circuit, with reguard to
needs in green County,
Tennessee)- If I can send help from South Carolina, I
will. (The Rev. Ezekiel
Burdine was transferred from the Little Pee Dee and Auson
Circuit in South
Carolina to the Green Circuit in Tennessee.)
"Tuesday, November 25, 1800. We rode to Nathaniel
Burdine's-ancient Methodists,
who have a son in the ministry."
"From the Journal and Letters of Francis Asbury, edition of
1958, Vol.III, Page
192 and Vol. II page 266. (Published by the Abingdon
Press, Nashville,
Tennessee.) A footnote says Nathaniel Burdine lived near
Ninety Six, South
Carolina. Other records show he was the son of Richard
Burdine and was boarn in
1746 in Orange County, Virginia; apparently the part of
the county which be came
Culpeper County in 1749, and Madison County in 1793.
Ezekiel Burdine was born in
Culpeper County, Virginia, and greew up in Soputh
Carolina, returned to Virginia
as a young Methodist minister, and settled in Russell
County where he lived a
long and active life."
Well,
this is a fine day! Thanks June and Herb for sharing with me. Like the
pictures as well These are good prints and should reproduce fine.

I am rethinking the supposition that Samuel Patton Burdine and John
Travis Burdine are children of Samuel Burdine b. 1784 and Elizabeth
"Betsy" Sewell. I am wondering if Henry D. Burdine below could
not have been a son of Rev. Ezekiel Burdine b. 1775 born in Culpeper Co.,
Va. The census says that Henry D. was born in S. Carolina.
Could he have been born in Tennessee while Rev. Ezekiel Burdine was in Greene
Co.?

(Samuel

Benjamin Sewell's will in Claiborne County, TN as Grandsons) These are
the Burdines I am connecting to Samuel Burdine. Samuel P. is listed in
the 1860 Claiborne County census. Was Henry
D. b. 1803 in South Carolina a son of Samuel or Rev. Ezekiel?? Samuel's
first son Nathaniel was born 1810. Henry D. was born 1803.
Samuel's family moved to Smith Co., TN then Mary b. 1813, also
Smith Co., TN, then John B. b. 1817 in Smith Co., TN. I am
wondering why Henry D. b. 1803 in SC, wound up in Russell Co. Va and if
he married Elizabetlh Sewell, daughter of Benjamin, in Russell Co. Va or
Claiborne Co., TN. It is said in Journal and Letters of Bishop Francis Asbury, Rev. Ezekiel Burdine moved to Tennessee in
1800. Could he have only been temporarily in Tennessee?
Then Samuel Patton b. 1827 in Russell Co. and died Dec. 1864 in a Union
Army Hospital of wounds. There are no Sewell's in Russell
Co., VA in 1850 census. Was it Henry D. son of Ezekiel son of Nathaniel
and Anne Eddins that married Elizabeth Sewell?
And
finally two other Burdines in 1850 Russell Co. Could be Elisabeth
Johnston was a Burdine and Francis, mother of Thomas b. 1849, is Grandson.

Joe,
I
am soooo excited, Elizabeth has made my day for sure!
Nathaniel's
children have been found!! going with the Cenus information the
three
sons would be Francis, Ezekiel and Samuel-see below. He had 7 daughters.
Elizabeth
is sending me all the facts and I will share them as soon as I receive
them.
This is truely exciting. My guess, from what we've learned on Nathaniel
so
far, the ones born from 1770-1780 were born in Culpeper County/Madison
County,
Virginia and the ones from 1780-1789 would have been born in Wilkes
County,
North Carolina, then raised in South Carolina from 1790 to when ever
they
left.
I
was re-looking some Census information from 1790 South Carolina and it lists
20
Males in Nathaniel's household. I wonder who all these were?

Joe,
I have a Bible notation of a Henry Dickinson Burdine b. 07/14/1857
apparently the son of John Wesley Burdine. There is a John Alton
Burdine I
know of who I understand traces his lineage to Rev. Ezekiel M.
Burdine. I can check with him to see what he knows, but it will
take a while (weeks).
There is another entry that begins "Henry and Emeline's
children..." the first being born in 1880. Does this fit at
all?

Elizabeth,
I to am looking for your Burdine family. Sameul Patton and
James Travis Brudine are sons of Henry D. Burdine b. 1803 in SC. I
believe him go be
the son your Rev. Ezekiel Burdine. Do you know if Henry D.
Burdine might have moved to East Tennessee about the same time that John Wesley
Burdine did?

Ezekiel Burdine and Nathan Edins Burdine descendants

From: burdine@myhome.net (William D. Burdine )
To: jtburdine@earthlink.net
Elizabeth,
I just can not tell you how excited I am with this information. We,
Burdine descendants and I, have been searching for Nathaniel and Annie Eddins
Burdine
descendants, among others that we have little information on. I can not
yet say in for certain that Ezekiel is Nathaniel's son, but with the other
names of his
descendants it would be a good guess. I need more information.
What can you tell me about Ezekiel, do you know where he was born and
who his parents were?
Nathaniel Burdine in several Census was noted as having three sons. We
also know he was in Smith County, Tennessee just after 1810 and was in the 1820
Census. He died between 1821 and 1823. We know one of the three sons was named
Samuel b. 1784.Who handled his estate after Nathaniel died. He(Nathaniel) had
two other sons according to 1790 and 1800 Census. One about 10 years older than
Samuel and one born a year or to close to Samuel. He also had 6 daughters, Mary
born about 1775, the others remain unknown. Your Ezekiel would fit
the time line of the eldest son. I wonder where the Ezekiel name
came from? (other than the Bible)
I don't remember it in any of the Eddin/Edens information. I'll have to
go back and check on that. Interesting that his descendants went to
Texas. I had a
notion that this is were some of them disappeared. How exciting!
A
really short history. If you want more details let me know. Nathaniel and Annie
Eddins Burdine and his brother Samuel and Mary Eddins Burdine along with
Abraham Eddins and son William and Jacob Tanner were found in Wilkes
County, North Carolina 1781-1787.Leaving Culpeper County (area now
Madison County) Virginia. Their brother Reginald and Anne Sampson Burdine are
found in Pendleton District and Abbeville South Carolina in 1786/87-he and youngest
brother John were in Revoultionary War. John died in Culpeper County,
1786- and all of them and their sisters Hannah Burdine Shotwell and Barbara
Burdine Gresham are in south carolina. By 1803 they are all on the move
again into georgia except brother Samuel and two of his sons, Richard and
Abraham. Between 1810 & 1817 We find Nathaniel in Smith County, Tennessee.
Brother Samuel remains in SC with two sons and one (John) goes on to
Mississippi. Brother Reginald's (he died in 1787 in NC.) children
eventually settle in several counties of Georgia and Madison County, Alabama.
Any
help you can give me on Ezekiel, his parents and do you know any of his
children? Besides John Wesley?
A
fellow researcher, Joe Payne, had found some information on Ezekiel, probably
the same person. We would really like to find out who's son he was for certain.
I
have not personally searched across the atlantic. New information has lead us
to England and Wales. All 'family traditions' and 'stories' tell us they are
descended from Huguenots of France. Some research is on going in this
area as well.
Thanks
for the new information. Let me know if I can help anymore. Looking forward to
hearing from you again.

Yes, we have some information. My husband, John Theodore

John Wesley Burdine,

Nathan Theo Burdine 1905-198? . He is related to the Burdine for whom
Burdine Hall was named at the University of Texas at Austin and some Burdines
who started some college on the east coast. I understand my husband (and son)
are the
only male descendants of Nathan Edins Burdine.
Have
you traced the Burdine's across the Atlantic? I have been told they were
French Huguenots. Do you know anything about that?

Elizabeth,
Thanks so much for finding this information. I am happy to learn how
this family ended up back in Virginia in Russell County. Now if we can just
determine whose son Ezekiel belongs too. I am still leaning to Nathaniel
with Ezekiel's grandson being named Nathan Edins Burdine.
I need to go back to the earlier Census records and check on the age
listings.
I have an early day at work and probably home late. I'll pass on any
thing I can soon.

On a different note, these notes were written more recently
from a genealogy my mother-in law can't put her hands on at the moment:
Richard Burdyne -Orange Co., VA 1730's, later in Culpepper
Co., VA;
Nathaniel Burdine, Culpepper Co. VA to Newberry Co. SC before
1790;
Rev. Ezekiel Burdine (Methodist) circuit rider b. Culpepper
Co., VA reared in SC, settled in Russell Co., VA;
John Wesley Burdine b. Russell Co., VA moved to Hawkins Co.,
TN about 1863; Nathan Edens Burdine (1859-1909) Hawkins Co., TN;
Nathan Theo Burdine, TN to TX in 1937; John Theodore Burdine
b. 09/09/44 (my husband)
When
we locate the genealogy I'll send more.
Putting away the Bible, I found the following note stuck between some
pages:
Ezekiel Burdine, m. Martha _? b. 1782, d. 1860; John Wesley
Burdine m. Stella C. Fleenor, Nathan Eden Burdine m. Mary Jane Debord (parents:
Lee Debord,
Lucinda Gonce)
I guess this stuff never ends.
PS My side of the family had Bledsoe, Rice and Arden in Culpepper
Co.,Va. Any show up in the Burdine tree?
