Notes
William Floyd, John Partree Burk and Sam Burk Jr (II) are neighbors on Pedlar in Amherst. In August 1750 Surveyor William Floyd, sold to Samuel Burk Jr, land on the Pedlar River. (Albemarle Dd Bk III, p. 219)
Sam Jr (II) was on Pedlar and may have had a store. Mrs. Gilbert's Notes, Raney Collection, says that Sam Burk went to New Hanover County, NC. Sam Sr. is in Albermarle until his death so she may mean Sam Jr. who probably established stores on Pedlar and on Rivanna and supplied them from Wilmington, New Hanover county. He dies in the 1750's so the Sam (III) in 1776 who is working for the Robert Donald Company, the main British mercantile company must be a grandson.
Other than his wife's name was Elizabeth, we have very little information for this Samuel. His death was prior to his father's. We note the spelling of Burks as Burk in his will, but when his wife qualified as executor her name is entered as Burks.
IN THE NAME OF GOD AMEN: I Samuel Burk Jr. of Albemarle County being sick and weak, but of perfect mind and memory, thank Almight God for it, do this fifth day of January, One Thousand Seven hundred and forty-three, make constitute and ordain this my last will and testament in manner and form following to wit:
