Mr. Steve French

This is what I found in the 1870 Texas census:
Collin County , McKinney Post Office.

Francis Burke age 43 , born in Tennessee.
Sarah ( wife ), age 42 born in Alabama.
8-children..Mahlo age 14, Sarah age 16,Lesie 14,
John age 12, Tasills ( sic ?) age 10,Albert age 8 ,Lyena age 6, and Broesly ( sic ? ) age 2.As you can see,some of
the names of the children are difficult to read.

This may or may not be the family you are looking for.

Best Regards Donald Wall
