Do you know if there's a link somewhere to William S BURD.doc and Descendants of Lewis Cast BURD.doc? Kathy
Anyway, to answer your question I show Lewis Cast BURD < Spencer J BURD < Robert Harper BURD (Brother of William Spencer Jr) < William Spencer BURD. This is in that document, and has the following sources for Robert Harper - I've kept the numbering used in the notes intact, as well as the typos:
2. Van A Stilley. Some Decendants of Michael and Isabel Harper Germany to Virginia, the Carolinas, and Kentucky;
5. Van A Stilley. Some Decendants of Michael and Isabel Harper Germany to Virginia, the Carolinas, and Kentucky. page 5;
6. Chester Wilkes. Information from Chester Wilkes letters. 11626 Lida Rose, San Antonio, Texas, 78216. From Chester Wilkes letter dated July 24, 1991;
7. Ann Newman. Letters;
8. Unkown. Copied as writtened from the Gardner file at the Historical Society in Munfordville. January Quarterly Vol.31, No. 1, page 13.
Again, my apologies for the delay. I'll be glad to share my info if you'd like.

I am sorry to hear about the loss of your wife. That must be incredibly difficult. How long were you married? My connection to William Spencer Burd is based on a significant DNA match between myself and several of his descendants, plus proximity in the early censuses between Burd family members and Hance Harper. It also appears the families moved from SC to KY together.
Do you have copies of Van A Stilley. Some Decendants of Michael and Isabel Harper Germany to Virginia, the Carolinas, and Kentucky.
Chester Wilkes letters (1991)
Ann Newman. Letters

I would be happy to pay for copying and mailing, if you have these sources.

I'll see what I can find on my 'puter for the sources. I was out of the genealogy stuff for close to 20 years, and just got re-interested a couple months ago. So after that, when I went looking for my materials, I found that I'd lost a large amount in a hard drive crash some years ago. My back ups were flawed, but I did recover some info from that. That's been remedied now, but that doesn't help my lost files.
I'll let you know as soon as I can.
Mike.
