BURGESS/LOUD connection
My great, great, great grandfather was Naaman Loud Burgess. He was born about 1802 in MA according to the little I've found on him. I have nothing on him before 1837 when he married Mary Jane Rutan in New Orleans. Since "Loud" is an unusualy middle name I'm taking a guess it is a family name, possibly his mothers mainden name.
Any information would be greatly appreciated.
