My Phineas Burchard was born in NY 4 Jan 1826.
I found a Pension on him (maybe) showing he was in the Mexican Wars: Co-K-3rd Te__Mtd. Vols. the rest is blackened not legible.
I found him and his immediate family listed in the US. Fed. Census 1900 in Austin, Tx, Travis Co. It shows him to be born in Ny, his father born in NY and his mother born in Vermont, his occupation: capitalist
He married Elizabeth Blanton 3 May 1868 in Austin, Tx. They had 10 children.
Has anybody come across this Burchard in NY research. I would really appreciate any feedback or e-mail on this Burchard.
