1820 Census, Burke County, North Carolina

This Andrew England appears to be the same Andrew England who appeared in the 1830 and 1840 censuses in Anderson County, Tennessee.  It is likely that he was the son of Joseph England Sr. from p.7.

I do not have any primary source documentation on the name of Andrew's wife, but it might have been Bathsheba Walker.  I do not have any documentation of the marriage, but they appear to have been married about 1809 or 1810.

I believe that this is the Joseph England who was a Revolutionary War soldier and who moved to Anderson County, Tennessee about 1827.  The Joseph England in Anderson County filed for a pension in 1833.  His pension application stated that he had moved to Tennessee from Burke County.

It appears from the 1830 census in Anderson County that Joseph might have been the father of Alfred England, William England, and Andrew England.  I'm looking at Joseph as a possible candidates to have been the grandfather of my third great grandfather Jacob England.

It's very difficult to know who the rest of the people in the family were.  It appears as if it may have been a daughter and a son-in-law, or a son and daughter-in-law, plus three granddaughters.

  45+        <1775  1  1  Christian Bortles, Anna Catherine Anthony

I believe that Christian Bortles was my fifth great grandfather.  Which is to say, I believe that Christian was the grandfather of my third great grandfather Jacob England.

Christian's wife was Anna Catherine Anthony.

The will of Christian Bortles mentions a grandson named Jacob England.  There was no other Jacob England in Burke County at the time.  The best current speculation is that Jacob was born out of wedlock, the son of an England woman and a Bortles man, where the Bortles man was the son of Christian Bortles.

If on the other hand, Jacob England was the son of an England man and a Bortles woman, the primary candidate to have been Jacob's mother was an apparent daughter of Christian Bortles who appeared with the Bortles family in the 1800 census and the 1810 census, but not in the 1820 census.  So she presumably would have married an England man prior to 1820.

John Bortles was the son of my fifth great grandparents Christian Bortles and Anna Catherine Anthony.  As such, John was the uncle of my third great grandfather Jacob England.  However, we do not know which of John's siblings was Jacob's parent, or indeed whether such sibling was male or female.

It seems likely that this was Joseph England Jr., son of Joseph England Sr. from p.7, line 10.
