There he bought 200 acres on Kings Creek on July 31, 1792 and sold half of it on January 9, 1793. He moved to Pickens County, South Carolina (then part of Pendleton District) prior to 1800 Census where he is believed to have died.

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.
