Mary Porter/Increase Burtch
I am seeking any information about the Mary Porter who was born about 1735 and married Increase Burtch about 1755.This marriage probably occured in the Beekman Patent area of Dutchess County, New York.Increase was the son of Jeremiah Burtch and Margaret Billings.He traces back to Thomas Birch who came in the early 1600's to Dorchester.Margaret traces back to William Billings who was in Lancaster Mass in 1654.Increase Burtch was a Rev. War soldier as were three of his sons, Admiral, Thomas and Richard.There may be information about this family at the Quaker Meeting House at Easton, NY.
