Andrew B Burch, (grandson?): Our Family History

Generation: 1

1. Andrew B Burch, (grandson?) was born in 1874 in Gulf of Mexico (son of Increase Ransom Burch and Julia Ann (or Julia Marie) McGaffey); died after 1880 in of, Sabine Pass, Jefferson Co, Texas.

Generation: 2

Increase Ransom Burch was born in 1820 in New York (son of Jasper Charles Burch and Jane Atwood); died in 1864 in Sabine Pass, Jefferson Co, Texas.

Other Events and Attributes:

Census: 23 Oct 1850, Sabine Pass, Jefferson Co, Texas
Census: 10 Jul 1860, Sabine Pass, Jefferson Co, Texas

Notes:

According to 1850 Census, Julia Ann is 17 and born in Michigan, but in 1880 census gives her mother born in NY. Since the relationship is not indicated, and she is too young to be a mother to the two children listed in the census, (Rachel J age 6 Ohio, and Neal M, 3 months old TX)makes me believe she is a young sister.
Also Charles, 28, born in Ohio, gave his parents' birthplace as New York, so assuming Charles is a brother to I.R.
