          The first Burchfield emigrant from old country (Germany) to the Unided (sic) States was about time of Revolutionary War. They settled in Pennsylvania, Maryland or New Jersey.
     The first known was Joseph Burchfield who came to Ohio about 1750. It is not known if he was the father of Charles Burchfield the first husband of Pheoby Tope or the second husband Joseph Burchfield who was Grandpa's father.
