PREFACE.

Soinotinif since, at a f;iiiiily re union, lield at tlic home of
Col. Epbraini Burkel, on the old lionic.lcavl farm, in Sinking
Valle}-, Blair county, Penusyjvani.i, llie subject of the liistorj-
of the lUirket family, and tlic deseeudant> of Peter Burkct,
deceased, was di-cussed.

It appeareii that no history of the Burkot family was
known to exist, and that no complete record of the descendants
of Peter Burket was in the possession of any of the members
of bis family. It was thought best to endeavor to complete a
record of the latter, and stc|)s wvn- taken to that end.

The work has jiroven much more diiTicult than was antici-
pated, and has, theref<ne, taken a much longer lime than it
was thought ]iossible.

It is believed the iiifoimation given is concct, and is like-
•wise as complete as it was pn.-silik- to obtain it. Should there
be an^ erior? or omibsions, ihcy have been uniutcntion.al, and
1 will be glad to be ndvist^d of tliem in order that the propta-
corrections may be made.

The blank pages are intcanletl to bo used in completing the
further family history as it may become necessary.
