John Burhalter served in the George Militia during the Revolutionary War. His tombstone is in the Buena Vista City Cemetery in Marion County, Georgia.[1]
John and his father Michael Burkhalter, who married Martha Newsom, were both soldiers of the Revolution. John ran away from home and joined the Revolutionary forces when his father was brought home wounded. Martha (Michael's wife) turned her home over to the sick and wounded and nursed and administered to the sick and wounded. This she could well afford to do as Michael was a man of means. Martha Burkhalter received a land frant in Warren County, GA in 1752.[2]

B > Burkhalter > John Burkhalter
found another couple whose profiles are probably duplicates (Hans & Sarah... Ann "Marcus" is the first profile I've found for John's second wife).

Another Michael - Burkhalter-437 - is attached as father of another John, Burkhalter-57 (husband of Sarah Milledge.-1) but the text on that John's profile appears to support that he's the father of the John, Jacob, & Isaac that DAR says belong to John, son of John (see children named in the DAR record for John m Sarah M X ... A017334).
Hope all this makes sense. We have confusion in DAR records and duplicates in WikiTree that follow both sets of records (Michael -> John -> David m Ann Eliza & John -> John -> David m Ann Eliza).
