  • Notes 
    • The 1870 census of Groveland shows: Elizabeth Burky, 54, Bavaria; Jacobine, 24, Bavaria; farmer Henry, 23, Bavaria; Jacob, 21, Bavaria; Helena, 20, Bavaria; and John, 18, Illinois; and carpenter John Gerber, 28, born in Canada.

      “Despite many efforts to find additional information on Jacobina, Henry, Jacob, and John Birky, no additional information has been found after the 1870 U.S. Census. (Some researchers have incorrectly stated that John Birky, son of Christian and Elizabeth, married a woman named Edith Kelso. However, in the 1880 census, Edith Kelso Birkey and John are living with his mother, whose name is Magdalena Birky. Thus, Elizabeth Stalter Birkey's son, John, did not marry Edith Kelso. The husband of Elizabeth Kelso was John Burkey Jr., son of John Burkey and Magdalena Roggy ). “ [7, 9, 10]
