Thomas Burch (1778–1849) was an early nineteenth-century Methodist circuit rider in the United States and Canada.
[4] Burch remained in this position for three years, as it was impossible to reassign circuit riders across the border during the war.
[3] Burch neglected his duties on the Quebec City Circuit in large part, travelling there only twice in his first year.
Burch remained highly respected among his peers; he was chosen to attend the delegated conferences in 1820 and again in 1828.
[7] Burch continued circuit riding in the United States until 1835, when he was declared supernumerary due to illness.
He retired to Yonkers, New York, where he remained until shortly before his death, when he went to live with his son, Thomas H. Burch, in Brooklyn.
