The last info I have on John and Elizabeth Burgess is the 1870 Livingston Co. IL census.After that, they seem to vanish.If anyone knows what happened to them after 1870, please reply!
*Note there was another John and Elizabeth Burgess in Indiana and they are often confused, but NOT the same couple!
