Rowan County spun off into smaller counties such as Surry in 1771, Guilford in 1771, Wilkes in 1777, Burke in 1777, and much later Yadkin in 1850.   When Surry County was formed in 1771, tax records for this year list Benjamin, Joseph, and James Burk, Jr.
James Burk, Sr., died about 1783 at old Surry County, N.C. in what is now Yadkin County, N.C.  The revolution had torn his family apart.  Later Lucretia Burk shows up in the 1784, 1785, 1786, Surry taxables without James Burke.  I think she died in 1786 with the estate sale in October.
