A Henry and a Thomas Burk were in Caroline Co. in 1740 ("Virginia in 1740: A Reconstructed Census," T.L.C. Genealogy, 1992). This is almost certainly Henry (F. &.), son of John and Ann. This Thomas is not one of Henry's sons, based on timing, and could possibly be Henry's oldest half-brother--based on proximity to their county of origin, Middlesex.
G. Thomas Burk, Sr. (G. 6. above) married Ann George, the daughter of Robert George, Jr. of Caroline Co., VA (discussed above). Robert appeared to have a brother, Richard, based on being a will witness in May 1745 for Mary Tunwell. (Richard George married Elizabeth Mayo on Apr. 20, 1734 in Middlesex, and Elizabeth is believed by Mayo historians to be a daughter of Ann Burk Jordan Mayo.) Robert George, Jr. died by June 12, 1766 when his will was presented by his son, Robert George (III), one of the executors.
Ann George Burk must not have been satisfied with the way her brother was handling the will because she filed a complaint against him on May 2, 1769, the year he died. In Spotsylvania Co., a Jane (Lewis ) George, widow of Robert George, deceased, of Caroline Co., died Sept. 27, 1774. Her will did not name any of Robert George's children who probably inherited most of his property after he died. Her heirs were: Mary Lewis, my brother Zachary Lewis' widow and Mary Littlepage, daughter of Betty Holloday; the children of my sister Elizabeth Shackleford viz: Lewis Shackleford, Mary Payton, John Shackleford and Zachary Shackleford. A Reuben Long of Caroline Co. was also mentioned. (Whether this family is connected with the Lewis grandchildren of Thomas Obrissell has not been explored, nor has the possible Betty Holloday connection to Frances Holloday mentioned under Henry's first child John and his son Thomas).
