>From "Historical Collections of Brown County, Ohio" by Carl N. Thompson:
Pleasant
Township: Among the early settlers in this township were Jacob Burgett,
Aaron Burgett,
Valentine Burgett..." The Index to Rev War Soldiers: "Valentine
Burgett
- Buried in Pisgah
Ridge Cemetery. All that is available."
Any information that can be found on these people would be greatly
appreciated. I know that
Aaron Burgett was born around 1780.
Thank you,

Searching for information on John Burget who was in Pickaway
County at least by 1810. Need to know if
he had children George
BURGET, born 1805 in Ohio; Cassa BURGET,
born 1806 in Ohio; and
Sarah BURGET, born 1807 in Ohio. I believe
there may have been a
connection between my Logan County BURGETS
of the 1830's and
the John Burget in Pickaway County.

BURGET, BURGETT, BURNS posted by Sharon Suckow ,at Email:
lucky225@gte.net , on Tuesday, May 26, 1998
John BURNS immigrated from Scotland to NYC
to Circleville prior
to 1836. In 1843 both he and his wife died.
His son, also named
John,
was taken in by a neighbor Joseph BURGETT.
I am looking for
information on the BURGET family and also
trying to locate the
gravesites of both John BURNS and his wife.

BARTH, BURGETT, STUCKEY posted by Allan Griffith ,at Email:
magriff@bigfoot.com , on Tuesday, December 17, 1996
I am searching for ancestral & historical
information or any
descendants in common with: STUCKEY, Peter,
b.1836, probably
Germ/SZ/Fr border near Rhine. Probable
parents: Jacob (or Peter)
STUCKEY & Catherine BARTH, unknown
whether parents came to
U.S., but their son Peter allegedly immigrated
to U.S. in 1843.
Peter
had sibs: Catherine, b. 1827, Nicholas,
b. 1840, Sophia, b. 1841.
Nicholas migrated to and died in Lancaster,
OH. Peter married Julia
Ann BURGETT @ Circleville, Pickaway Co,
OH 9-30-1858, then
moved to Piatt Co.,IL. Sophia also moved
to Piatt Co., IL. I cannot
find definite parents of these STUCKEY children
nor parents of
Julia Ann BURGETT, although I believe Julia
had one sister named
Sarah who married a Mr. Duvall - probably
Andrew although that too
is uncertain.

Brough of Burgettstown.---At a meeting of the citizens of
Burgettstown, held pursuant to notice a the town hall in March, 1877, for
the
purpose of taking measures for the erection of the borough of Burgettstown,
to be composed of Old Burgettstown and Cardville, D. S. Walker was
chosen chairman and F. McFarland secretary. After discussion, Findley
Patterson, J. L. Patterson, and M. W. Murray were appointed a committee
to take the initiatory steps to procure the incorporation of the proposed
borough. This committee never reported, no meeting was called, and the
subject was held in abeyance till July, 1880, when another meeting was
called, and J. L. Patterson, J. L. Proudfit, S. J. Ghrist, William Melvin,
J.P.
Donnan, H. B. McMurray, and M. R. Allen were appointed to secure a
survey and present the proper petition to the court. This committee
performed their duties, and on the 8th December, 1880, gave notice that
application would be made to the Court of Quarter Sessions of Washington
County at the January term, 1881, "to incorporate the village of
Burgettstown, including that portion thereof which lies at and around
Burgettstown Station." The grand jury passed favorably upon the petition
on
the 12th January, 1881, and the court confirmed the action on the 23d of
March, following, and further provided that a special election be held
at the
town hall, April 5, 1881, for the election of borough officers, at which
time
the following were elected: Burgess, C. M. Elder; Councilmen, Dr., W. W.
Riddle, B. F. McClure, S. J. Ghrist, W. H. Witherspoon, J. P. Donnan, and
W. S. Fulton; School Directors, R. T. C. Stephenson, W. P. Vance, William
Melvin, James Carnahan, and William Blair; Auditor, T. L. McClelland;
Assessor and Constable, M. W. McMurry. Upon the organization of the
Council,
J. P. Donnan was chosen president, and the following appointments
were made: M. R. Allen, clerk; J. L. Patterson, treasurer; John Hemphill,
street commissioner; M. W. McMurry, collector.
Physicians.---The first practitioner of medicine in this section of the
county of whom anything is known was Dr. Ebenezer Jennings, a son of the
Rev. Jacob Jennings. He was a descendant of the Pilgrims, but a native
of
New Jersey, where his father lived and practiced as a physician until he
was
licensed by the Reformed Dutch Church and received by the Presbytery of
Redstone April 17, 1792, at which time the Rev. Jacob Jennings removed
to
Dunlap's Creek, Fayette Co.: his two sons, Obadiah Jennings (later know
both as lawyer and divine) and Ebenezer, the one above mentioned, coming
with him. He studied and practiced medicine in the East, and soon after
coming to this county settled in Smith township, and resided at the house
of
Judge James Edgar for some years. Upon his marriage he purchased a small
farm about two miles east of Burgettstown, from where he continued to
practice till his death. He was elected a member of the General Assembly
in
1806-7, and during the first year of his residence at the capital he became
interested in the treatise of Dr. Jenner on vaccination, and at the close
of the
term visited Philadelphia, obtained some virus, and on his return vaccinated
his own children and others. On his return to the Legislature the next
session,
but arduous labors, he procured the passage of a bill providing for the
vaccination of the poor. His health became impaired by his exertions, and
although renominated for another term he declined, and on the 21st
November, 1808, he died, aged thirty-three years, beloved and respected
by all. He left property consisting of five hundred acres of land in Beaver
County, eighty acres of land where he resided until a short time before
his
death, and one house and two lots in Burgettstown. His executors were
Thomas Smith, Robert Bowland, and Obadiah Jennings. The property was
left in trust with them for his three children, ---Maria, Samuel C., and
Jacob,
and provided for their education; and in case one or both of the sons desired
a classical education, a sufficient amount to meet the circumstances was
to
be taken from the estate. Rev. Samuel C. Jennings, one of the sons, is
now
pastor of a Presbyterian Church in Allegheny County.
Dr. Thomas Hersey advertised in the Reporter (Washington) under date
Feb. 10, 1812, that he "offers his professional services to the people
of
Burgettstown." He delivered an oration on the 4th of July the same year,
at a
celebration held in the town. How long he remained there is not known.
Dr. Samuel J. Perry was a resident of the town before 1821, as in that
year he was postmaster, but little is known of him. At one time he lived
where Dr. Harper lives, and later where Dr. Donnan resides. He died about
1830.
Dr. Stephen Smith came to Burgettstown about 1826. He succeeded
David Bruce as postmaster in 1830. About 1832 he went to Florence,
remained there till about 1840, and moved to Virginia. As a physician he
was
well and favorably known, and had a wide practice in the vicinity.
Dr. Mossman was a resident of the town five years prior to 1837, and in
the spring of that year removed to Peoria, Ill., where he lived for several
years.
Dr. Joseph Campbell kept a drug-store in the old Bruce House, now
William Melvin.
Dr. William Donnan, a son of the Rev. Alexander Donnan, born in
Scotland, came to this country with his father in 1818, and in the next
year
settled at Hickory. He studied medicine with Dr. Stephenson in Canonsburg,
and Dr. Hewitson, of St. Clairsville, Ohio; attended lectures at Jefferson
Medical College, under Pros. McClelland, Pattison, Woods, and Reeves;
commenced practice at Burgettstown in 1837, and has been actively
engaged in the duties of his profession here from that time to the present.
Dr. T. W. Bradley studied medicine with Dr. P. H. McCullough, of
Rumley, Ohio; graduated at Sterling Medical College, Ohio, in 1851;
commenced practice in Florence in 1844, before graduation; came to
Burgettstown in 1856, and has been in practice here from that time until
the
present.
Dr. G. W. Bell studied medicine with Dr. W. L. Wilson, of Beallsville;
attended lectures in 1853 at Jefferson Medical College in Philadelphia;
graduated in March, 1858; commenced practice in Burgettstown in 1854,
and has remained there in practice to the present.
Dr. W. V. Riddle studied medicine with Dr. T. W. Bradley. In the winter
of 1863-64 he attended lectures at Ann Arbor, Mich.; commenced practice
at Candor in 1864; remained there about five years, and in 1869 removed
to
Pittsburgh. About one year later he removed to Burgettstown, where he
commenced practice April 1, 1870, and has since remained there as one of
the physicians of the town.
Dr. W. T. Miller was a medical student with Dr. M. R. Banks, at
Livermore, Westmoreland Co., Pa., graduated at Cleveland, Ohio, in 1881,

Mahala is supposed to have been mother of Valentine BURGETT, Jr. b.
8,
June
1773. He, Val, Jr appears to have been 2nd child of Val, Sr &
Mahala.
This data from a bible record found by a Robert Laxton in library in
Memphis.
It does not say TN. Robert said, "I didn't have much
time to copy down
references....what a shame".
The end result of where Mahala came from, all indications point
to her
with
Val, Sr in VA, when their children were born. My Aaron BURGETT
b.1782
had VA
on his census sheets.
By the way if anyone checks those Family Tree KY marriage disks, I
believe
there is an error in their record of Valentine BARGET (another spelling)
and
Mary LANE. The correct year is 1799.

1833 WASH REPORTER
The account of JESSE SPENCER, ADM. of the estate of DR. BOSTON G.
BURGET, DEC.
==========
WASH CO, PA
Our ancestors were thrifty people. They owned a large body of
land at
the time of the death of Thomas Bigger.
Their children were
industrious. Saving their money, they
invested it in land. They
not
only accumulated much land in western Pennsylvania,
but some of
them
invested in land in Ohio, which was then regarded
as the far west.
The
writer has a deed signed by James Monroe,
President of the United
States, and dated September 27th, 1819, which
conveyed the title to
160
acres of land in Ohio to Thomas Bigger, one
of the three who lived
in
our family, but Aunt Ann and Aunt Betsy their
portion of their
father's
estate, coming to them at his death in Ohio
lands. This they sold
to a
man named Markle, and the writer distinctly
remembers his being
present
when the deeds were executed for this land.
All of the children of Thomas Bigger and Elizabeth grew up
in the home,
with a single exception. The son Thomas,
familiarly known as Uncle
Tommy in his old age, was indentured by his
father to a man named
Burgett, who conducted a tannery on the site
of the town of
Burgettstown, which derives its name from
this man. He served
Burgett
seven years in learning his trade. When
this service was completed
he
went over the mountain to Chambersburg, where
his Uncles James and
John
lived, and worked for some time as a journeyman
tanner. He then
returned home and built a tannery on his own,
which was located
just
west and near to the land, which belonged
to the brother Andrew.
For
years he carried on a flourishing business
the buildings, which
were
three in number, were still standing in the
boyhood days of the
writer,
but have long since disappeared. All
of the sons were farmers.
Of these children of Thomas and Elizabeth Bigger, only two
of them, the
oldest, Matthew, and the youngest, Elizabeth,
were able to
celebrate the
anniversaries of their births. A record
was kept of the month and
year
when the others were born, but not the day
of month. Thomas Bigger
himself, in an account book, set down the day
of the month and year
when
his oldest son Matthew was born, but the record
goes no further.
The
writer has this old account book, which contains
the following
item:
"Thomas Bigger. I was born in Ireland in the County of
Antrim. I was
married the 23rd day of May 1773, and sailed
from Londonderry the
9th
day of August 1773, and landed in Baltimore
the 16th day of October
1773. My son Matthew was born the 9th
day of March 1774." Amid
the
excitements and labors of those early days,
it is evident little
Valentine Burget [2] lived south of Georgetown,Pleasant Twnsp, Brown
Co
Oh. Felty is a knickname for Valentine. Felty's Day!
