the Moore 4

I wanted to try and post a pic of my name sake (Burch) on my last post, but I haven’t been able to find a street marker in Ogden with the name. We stopped over at Gramma and Grampa Seamons house for Mother’s Day and after visiting/delivering a couple of pretend? citronella plants (plant story = another time/another post) – tried to find the way to Burch Creek Trail that Steve found for us on the internet.

We think we found the trail, but it didn’t have any clear markings so that was a no-go for any photos. Rats. I read a blurb about the trail on my way home via my iPhone; it’s a trail with over-growth and such. In parts, I think. Blah, blah, blah… whatev.

(Oh, this might have been the link to that info that I read.)

Anyway… I tried to find out more about ‘us’ online. There was a Daniel Burch that was noted and my Mom thinks that he was an uncle. So, maybe I’m not a direct descendant, but no matter, I’m still countin’ it!  Also, apparently Daniel was part of South Ogden – so now I know a little more specifics.

According to this record from the Church – I’m wondering if this was his whole family; wife and 5 children :)

I still would like to search more. I think that I should go to the city buildings in South Ogden for further research.

Oh, here’s a great link I found! (I’m ‘searching for past findings and info as I write this post, can you tell :) I think I read some of this before – but don’t remember it saying so much! (see History)

Final note: Daniel built a ‘gristmill’.

Hmmm… gotta find out what that is.
