P. K. Burleson
P. K. Burleson Portrait

 

PK is a Charter Member of the BFRG. We will show all of his contributions to our group in links on this page. His interest in Genealogy started many years ago. PK was the first Burleson in NC to establish his ancestry line back to Isaac Burleson Sr. for acceptance in the Sons of the American Revolution. He arranged for the government to provide a tombstone to mark the grave of Isaac Burleson. PK organized a Marker Dedication Ceremony to be conducted by the Alamance Chapter of the Sons of the American Revolution. He hired a professional genealogist to document the origins of the Burleson name and our family crest.
