I posted the above under my brother's email address while visiting family back in June.Have had no luck in researching the Burkets so tried to research the neighbors.Since William and Melinda Burket had two children named Stephen and Rebecca, I thought Stephen and Rebecca White might be Melinda's parents or some other relation to the Burkets.Stephen and Rebecca White were in Marion Co. with other White family members in 1860.Miles Blansett, husband of Frances Burket, your Rebecca's sister, took out a land patent in Marion Co about that time.I think Miles died during the Civil War and she remarried a couple of times.
I mention the connection to the Henry Burket because a descendant had found information in Madison Co., AR which indicated that Henry's father was a Membrance Burket.It could be just a coincidence, but the name is unusual.
That's about all I know about the Burkets and wished I knew more.Do you know any family stories, etc. that might give any clues to the Burkets?
Hope to hear from you.
