Biography

Chloe was born about 1771. In 1791 Chloe Wedding was mentioned in the will of her mother.^[1] She passed away about 1870. ^[2]

1830 - Kentucky, Breckinridge County,
The 1830 U.S. Federal Census shows Benjamin Birch, living in Breckinridge, Kentucky. The census reflects one (1) white male between 70 and 79 years of age [likely Benjamin who would have been 77], one (1) white female between 50 and 59 years of age [likely his wife Chloe who would have been 59], two (2) white females between the ages of 15 and 19 [likely Nancy and Mary since Elender was married in 1825] and one (1) white male [likely James Fennell who was 5] between the ages of 5 and 9. Also living with them are four black slaves, one female between the ages of 24 and 35, two (2) females under the age of 10 and one (1) male under the age of 10. ^[3]

1840 - Kentucky, Breckinridge County,
Chloe is most likely living with her daughter Nancy and her husband William Tuttle. In the 1840 census, William Tuttle, of Breckinridge County, is listed as having the following residents in his home; one (1) male aged 30-39 [likely William who would have been 34 at the time], one (1) female aged 60-69 [likely Chloe who would have been 69 at the time], one (1) white female between the age of 20 and 29 [likely his wife Nancy who would have been 28 at the time] and one (1) white female under the age of 5 [likely their daughter Mary Ellen who would have been 2 at the time]. This is a logical guess given that Chloe resided with her daughter's family in the 1850 and 1860 census records as well. [1]

1850 - Kentucky, Breckinridge County, District 2, 23 Jul 1850
The 33rd family in the census records is the Tuttle family. Living with the William Tuttle family is Chloe Burch. Chloe reports to be 80 years old and was born in Maryland. She is living with the Tuttle family most likely because her daughter, Nancy Burch, married William Tuttle and they had room for her. Her son James Burch is listed next in the census records.

1860 - Kentucky, Breckinridge County, District 2, 4 Sep 1860
The 897th family in the census is the Wm. Tuttle family. Living with this i Chloe Burch, aged 89. She reports she was born in Maryland is reported to be blind.
