JOHN AND MARY BURKE SHREVE

John Shreve born abt 1728-1732 Little Compton, Newport, RI died bef 1840 Pendleton Co., VA married November 2, 1762 in Fairfax Co., Virginia Mary Burke born abt 1730 {Fairfax Co.}, Virginia died abt 1789 Pendleton Co., Virginia


Possible kin of Mary Burke ; The area of Fairfax County known as Burke is named for Silas Burke (1796–1854), a 19th century farmer, merchant, and local politician who built a house on a hill overlooking the valley of Pohick Creek in approximately 1824. The house is still standing. Silas Burke 1796-1854 wife Hannah Coffer. Is Silas Burke a descendant of Mary's family? Like maybe a nephew? The name Celus or Silas has been handed down in the John Shreve family and I would like to think it is because of an ancestor on the Burke side...any thoughts out there about this?
