Description

Joseph Burke was born in 1820 in Wicklow, Ireland. He probably spent some time in the state of New York before arriving in Savannah in 1841. He may have married Ellen Burchel Phelan in 1845, but, if he did, neither his wife nor any children they may have seem to have survived him. Burke’s offices as a cotton merchant and exchange broker were at 66 Bay Street. He was also a founder and member of the Board of Directors of the Bank of Commerce.
