with Albert Leopold Vitter Birth 9 Sep 1791 Paldy?, Kilkenny, Ireland 
[1] Gender Male Possessions Between 1848 and 1851 [1] Griffith's Valuation of Ireland records that a Robert B., Esq., owned (1848–51) properties at Ballyjohnboy, Lacken, and Posey, all in Ullard Parish, Co. Kilkenny. David ofLacken was this Robert's father, and had died in 1833.

Nicholas Burtchaell (1826–1890) and his wife Annie Dinnin Burtchaell (1840–1917) "are the scions of the New Orleans Burtchaells" (page 46).
Regarding Nicholas Burtchaell, who immigrated to New Orleans in the mid-1850s:
Also from page 46: "His story was unknown to Dublin bachelor chronicler George Dames Burtchaell (1853–1921) who simply noted him as 'died unmarried.' Nicholas emigrated on the same ship as young Annie Dinnin; they met after disembarking in New Orleans and married soon afterward.
"The family retains the recollection that Nicholas fled Ireland. One story (Wyona Denstedt) is that he and a cousin were out riding and the cousin was killed. Nicholas, disguised as a negro, then emigrated. Another concurs in that Nicholas had to sneak out of Ireland. There is further belief that one not his brothers wished him to come up to Canada to take our his business.
"Unlike most other Burtchaell branches, the Louisiana Burtchaells have been Catholics. Their chronicler has been Gerald J. Burtchaell, who in 1971 studied the genealogy and occupations of the Louisiana Burtchaells."
