Mary Ann's lineage has not been determined but is placed hereaccording t o one theory until more information has been found.However, if her bir th date is correct, her mother could not have beenCatherine Miller.
The Burket Family site says:
"The working hypothesis of this author (WLM) until more definitivedata e merges is that Mary Ann Zumwalt Burket was the daughter of aJacob Zumw alt, either Jacob Zumwalt the elder, most likely with wifeCatherine Mi ller Zumwalt, or a Jacob Zumwalt Jr., son of the elderJacob. The move ment from the St. Charles District to CallawayCo ofthe Burket family c oincides closely with that of the elder JacobZumwalt and relations des cribed above. The marriage of Mary AnnZumwalt and David Burket in 181 7/1818 is the time in which the elderJacob Zumwalt sold his O'Fallon h omestead at Ft. Zumwalt to NathanHeald and apparently moved to Callawa yCo."
Mary Ann could not be Catherine's daughter as she was born afterCathri ne died.
