Maybe someone in this thread can help me. I am looking for "any" connection between the Burkett's and Guard/Gard's.

My third great grandfather was Burkett Guard of Currituck Co. He was born between 1755 - 1774 and died bef. 5 Nov 1832. I do not have a maiden name for Burkett's mother but her Christian name was most likely Abigail. Of course, it's possible there was no relationship to the Burkett's, maybe they were just friends or a respected family.
