Searching Nathen I. Burl who lived in N>Y> State as well as Pa. Seems that he was Indian descent and since the name Bourel was french...I am wondering if he got his name from the French who may have been fighting the French/Indian war. We can find no trace of our Nathen and are led to believe that he was in the Indian uprising. He was born 1823 and married a Harriet Cole from Pa. Would be interested in knowing if there is any connection here.
