Here is a message from Carol Burdine:
Currently I don't have any information on Joel Burdine. I'd like to learn more about any Burdines in Maryland. I've sent an e-mail to my list requesting information, but nothing new. Sorry you had problems finding me. My address has changed.
New information has come my way on a possible father for Richard Burdine as John. Any information on a John Burdine before 1700 would be greatly appreciated.

I edited the following information from the Internet at a site on South Carolina genealogy located at "http//:oldpendleton.homestead.com".
Richard Birdine was a contributor to the Evangelical Lutheran Church (Hebron) in the Robinson River area when they were raising funds in1733. Richard Birdine (or Burdyne) was probably not a German. This raises the question as to why he made a contribution. Some think it is because he may have married a German woman. This contribution of Richard Burdyne is the earliest known record in this area. He had no land patent. Robert Tanner deeded him 212 acres on 12 Mar 1738. In the 1739 tithe list, Richard Burdyne was located in the sequence of Zacharias Fleshman, Peter Fleshman, Richard Birdine, John Wilhide, Michael Claur... Richard Tanner (Gerber) was a German who had land patents in 1728 and 1735 in the vicinity of the individuals named above. Robert Tanner testified in 1720 that he came to Virginia with his wife, Mary, and five children: Christopher, Christianna, Katherine, Mary and Parva (Barbara). Richard Burdyne was nominated as executor in the will of Henry Frederick Phierpack (Beyerback), but Burdyne did not serve.
Richard Burdyne's will, written 22 July 1761, named his wife as Catherine.
The following is from a 1739 Tithe List of Hebron Church. In John Mickell's Precinct, which was north of the Robinson River, there were Tobias Wilhite, John Stolts, Frederick Bumgarner, Christopher Moyers, Peter Weaver, Mitchell (Michael) Wilhite, George Woods (Utz), Pals Plunkabeaner (Balthasar Blankenbaker), Ludwick Pfisher (Lewis Fisher), Mathias Plankabeaner (Matthias Blankenbaker), Nicholas Pluncabeaner (Blankenbaker), George Shively (Sheible), Conrat Pater (?), Jacob Broil (Broyles), Zacharias Flefhman (Cyraicus Fleshman), Richard Birdine (Burdyne), John Wilhide (Willheit), Michael Claur (Clore), David Ouell (Yowell), John Thomas, Henry Sluter (Slucter), John Zimmerman, John Full (John Paul Vogt), Christian Clemon, and Jacob Manfpoil (Manspiel). Again several English names occurred among these names.

Richard was a member of the Hebron Lutheran Church community at the Germanna settlement, near Madison VA. The Colonists of 1717 and 1719 remained in the Germanna neighborhood until 1725 or 1726 when they acquired land in Madison County. Many of these names are prominent in Madison and the surrounding area today. The Hebron Lutheran Church in Madison County remains today with an active congregation after being built by these Germanna Settlers in 1740. It is listed on theVirginia and National Register of Historic Places. There is some speculation that he was of French Hugenot descent, with the name originally having been "Bourdin" but this has not been established. He emigrated to America possibly from Germany, settling in Virginia . He may be of Welsh descent, also. At his death, he owned a Negro slave, Tom, a house, a still and well over 600 acres of land in Culpeper County, VA. See the Notes for Samuel Burdine, his son.

There is no record to confirm Richard was a minister. It was in family lore that figured he may have been because of his large library he left to his children. We do know he was educated, could read and write. All six of his children, as well.

BURDINE Mailing List: Message Board Post from Carol Ann Burdine [carolannburdine at sbcglobal.net]:
I'll not restart the Fletcher/Eddins debate. However, John [Fletcher] Burdine Sr. was never named such. Only John Burdine. Son Wesley and son John Fletcher Burdine both record their father's name in their own personal Bibles as "John Burdine my father..." John Sr. did have a son, John Fletcher Burdine [Jr.], generations later John Sr. became known as John Fletcher Burdine Sr. possibly due to his sons name. Samuel Burdine did marry Mary Eddins. We have her father's will for that record. In 1940 a Burdine manuscript was printed stating.... Samuel Burdine Married Mary ________? (Fletcher) because the researcher could not find a name for Mary. Since that time many of this family have tried to give her the Fletcher name.
Further research has shown that Samuel was never a minister. Frances Asbury visited him and brother Nathaniel at various times as recorded in his Journel. Samuel had sons and grandsons who became ministers.

I'm a descendant of Amos Burdine born 1786. His father is listed as John, born 1761 who is on Revolutionay War Roll.
I'm confused with John's father, listing Richard. That would put Richard at 76 when John was born. Is that possible in that era? That was also the year of Richard's death. Some also have a John born in 1754. Are there any records for any of this?
