In his book on the Burch family, W. Bernette Burch cites one wife for Joseph Burch -- Mary Hollendsworth. He lists three children -- Joseph, Jr., Edward S (Ned) and John. A different source cites one wife -- Mary Ann Fisher -- and one child -- Joseph, Jr. The possibility exists that
Mary Hollendsworth and Mary Ann Fisher were the same person and she was married prior to marrying Joseph Burch. Thus, one name was her maiden name and one was her married name. This theory has not been proven. There is also disagreement as to the correctness of the name Fisher. Some researches think it was Fithner.
