Henry Burk's will was written April 5, 1777 and proved July 10, 1777 in Caroline County, Virginia. Henry left to his son, John 200 acres of land. Others mentioned in his will include his son, Thomas and his grandchildren John and Ann Burk, Henry's children. Also mentioned were his daughters, Judith Hundley, Ann Burton and Jane Southworth. Henry's Executors were his son, John, and his son-in-law, Joseph Cross.

Henry Burk listed six of his seven children as living in his will. His wife, Judith, and son Henry (Jr.) were deceased and Henry's children were included in his father's will. This will was written on April 5, 1777 and proved on July 10, 1777 in Caroline Co., VA and suggests that Henry had acquired considerable holdings. Henry owned an ordinary (tavern), he served on the jury several times, supervised road building, won the right to build a mill dam, farmed, and set out a peach orchard. The ordinary was operated from 1734 on and was on one of the oldest roads from Annapolis to Williamsburg, about a mile below Burk's Ferry--later Burk's Bridge--over the Mattaponi River in the lower center of the county. The ordinary was established in the same place where one had been operated by Jno. Sutton. Giving bond with Henry was William Southworth (whose son married Jane Burk) and William Burdett. After his death, Henry's will was in dispute until around 1812, based on son Thomas giving power of attorney in Franklin Co., GA to Seth Strange to receive what might still be due him from the estate.

Judith was baptized Mar. 1687/88, and was the widow of Abraham Trigg who she married in January 1710/11 as his second wife in Middlesex Co. Trigg's first wife was Elizabeth Guest/Gest who he married on Dec. 14, 1704, and who died between 1709 and 1710. Their known children were Mary, baptized May 9, 1706, and Elizabeth, baptized 1709. Judith's children by Abraham Trigg were Susannah, Daniel, William and Abraham--the last born in April 1719 some two months after Abraham (Sr.)'s death (on Feb. 25, 1718/19), and the same month is which she gave bond for the administration of Trigg's estate. Abraham Trigg (Sr.) was baptized May 4, 1684 and his father was Daniel Trigg.

When Henry married Judith, he came into control of 150 acres Trigg land along with four children by Judith and Abraham Trigg, and at least two by Abraham Trigg's first wife, Elizabeth Guest/Gest. (Henry Burk had two tithables added in 1720 and these do not appear to have been sons of Trigg and his first wife.) On November 1, 1737, Judith Burk relinquished her right of dower in land formerly owned by her first husband in a deed of Daniel Trigg to Thomas Berry (Order Book 1732-37, p. 89--in Hopkins, p. 270). A Daniel Trigg died in Spotsylvania Co. in 1769 and a William Trigg in Bedford Co., in 1773. That these were Judith's children by Abraham has not been verified. Judith's parents were Robert and Sara Clark.
