Info taken from website:

James Burk's first wife Mary (Polly) Bane Burk had seven children but died in 1750. There was a terrible flood on Roanoke in August 1749. She might have been a victim. Neighbors Peter Kinter, wife and child were washed away.

One spectator said, "Entire hills were swept down and leveled and several tracts of bottom land, all inhabited, were filled with so much sand and gravel they can no longer be lived on. Houses and barns were carried away and with them a great deal of the crop. The Roanoke was a mile wide at several places and the water rose to 15 feet above dry land."( Samuel Eckerlin to Alexander Mack, Sept. 1749, Johnson, Patton and Colonists, p. 63) The flood was about midnight, August 25. Mathusalem Griffith, James Burk's neighbor made his will on September 11. He may have been injured in the flood for during the winter he died leaving wife Lucretia and six children. (CH,III, 16) By August 1751 James Burk had married Lucretia and their families together totaled thirteen. Lucretia was Welsh listed in the marriage records of Christ Church, Philadelphia, as Lyky Rees when she married Mathusalem on February 2, 1730 (Pa. Archives, Series II, v.8, 93, 116).
