You are showing Lyman Burr (1832-1864), your number 050027. I agree with you on his parents, Lyman E. Burr and Fanny Kelsey and with his birth year, 1832. I have his death date as 20 July 1865 at Greenwood, McHenry Co., Ill., rather than 1864. This information is from the Civil War Pension File of his widow, WC 95252.
His wife/widow was Elisabeth Jane Hollister aka Jane Elisabeth Hollister. She was born in 1834 at Sullivan Co., NY, daughter of Sheldon H Hollister and Melinda Crocker. I have more information about her ancestry. She married again (1870), to Andrew Couse, and died 31 January 1917 at Champaign, Ill.
Lyman E Burr and Elisabeth Jane Hollister had two children: Lester A. Burr (1856/7 - 1862) and Ellis Martin/Mertin Burr (1857/8 - 1922).
Ellis Martin/Mertin Burr married (1881) Nannie Glenn and they had at least one child, Bessie Burr, born in 1882. Ellis had a company E.M. Burr at Champaign, Ill. I would hope to learn whether there were children other than Bessie and who their present-day descendants may be.
