Thomas B. Burbridge and Mary (Polly) McNary were married in Pike county [Illinois] by the noted Elder James Burbridge, on January 20, 1842; this date, which in other records appears as 1841, being fixed by the certification of Elder Burbridge himself, found among old records at the courthouse, after considerable search.

Sons of Thomas B. and Polly (McNary) Burbridge were: Robert, John W., James, and Thomas Burbridge. Daughters included: Cynthia Ann Burbridge (Mrs. Harvey Weaver), Jaley Burbridge (Mrs. Abe Caley), and Harriet Burbridge (Mrs. Anderson Foreman.) Only Robert Burbridge of Pittsfield [Pike county Illinois] is still living.

Thomas B. Burbridge and his wife lived in Pike county when it was a wild land. [Native Americans] were numerous. To the 1880 historian, Thomas Burbridge related that he had ridden on horseback to mill, a distance of six miles.

Thomas B. Burbridge was born in Kentucky in 1818, and came alone to Illinois in 1840, where, two years later, he married Mary McNary. They settled on Section 29, Hardin township, and there, spent the remainder of their lives. He was a son of Robert Burbridge, grand old Pike county pioneer, whose father had emigrated from Virginia to Kentucky, when that state was a wilderness.

In Kentucky, Robert Burbridge followed farming, and there, he married a Miss Richards. In 1825, they moved to Pike county, Missouri, settling near Louisiana, and from there, they came across the Mississippi, to Pike county, Illinois, in 1841. In this county, Robert Burbridge Sr. died in 1849, his wife in 1852.

Mary (McNary) Burbridge died at the family home in Hardin [township] in July 1861, and Thomas B. Burbridge afterward married Emily Hodge. There were nine children in the first marriage, two of whom died young. Mr. Burbridge was a Republican in politics, and in his home community he served as road commissioner and school director.

He and his first wife were active workers in the Christian church. Thomas B. Burbridge died in August 1888, being survived by the seven children already named, of whom Robert, now in his 90th year, is the only one living.
