Notes

a.

Note: Benjamin Burgess arrived in Southport (now Kenosha) Wisconsin in 1836. He died two years later from complication from those first Wisconsin winters. Benjamin and his wife Amanda started a saw mill on the Pike river near the town of Somers in Kenosha County, Wisconsin. The site of the saw mill is on the land described as the South West quarter of Section One Town Two North, of Range Twenty-Two East containing 160 acres. The land was officially transferred to Amanda Burgess by the United States on November 15, 1838 on certificate number 1018. The land was transferred for the United States by President John Tyler. This information is contained in the Abstract of Title number 48533, for the land.
