Notes
a. Note:   Census: 1870 CARROLL COUNTY, GEORGIA - Carrollton Post Office - Enumerated August 22, 1870 - Page # 206 - Household# 1443 Alexander Burke, Male, 52, Works at Saw Mill, GA, Cannot R/W Tobitha, Female 47, Keeps House, GA, Cannot R/W Thomas, Male, 20, Works on Farm, GA, Cannot Write James, Male, 19, GA Martha, Female, 16, GA Druscilla. Female, 14, GA Nellie, Female, 12, GA
  Census: Research Note: Thomas Burke was age 20 as of August 1870, making him born 1848/1850. As this fits the Thomas Burks who was the one who married Eliza M. Waters in 1880, I am asuming these were his parents. Jane H. Moore Waters and daughter Eliza Waters were living near on page 215.
  Census: Jane Moore Waters and Eliza M. Waters lived in Household # 317 in the same area. What I am assuming is when Jane H. Moore Waters remarried, her daughter married Thomas F. Burks.
  Census: 1880 CARROLL COUNTY, GEORGIA - Lowell District - Enumerated June 23, 1880 - SD# 4 - ED# 30 - Page # 45 - Household # 342 Thomas F, Burk, Male, 36, GA, GA, GA, Farmer William A., Male, Son, 8, GA James S., Male, Son, 7, GA Franklin E. , Male, Son, 5, GA Martin L, Male, Son, 3, GA Susan E., Female, Daughter, 1, GA
  Census: Research Note: This shows Thomas F. Burks as a widower in 1880, with 5 children. The 1860 census for Carroll County has him in the household of his parents. So he married at some point after 1870 but before 1872 to an unknown lady. To date I have been unable to locate a marriage for him. The first wife was deceased before 1880.
  Census: Research Note: In 1880 Jane 1900 COBB COUNTY, GEORGIA - Powder Springs - Enumerated June 13, 1900 - ED# 30 - SD# 7 - Sheet # 14A Thomas F.
