I am not a Burriss/Burress....but did a look-up for a lady who was looking for the father of an Ennis Burris....
History of Johnson County, Missouri, by Ewing Cockrell
"the father of Ennis Burris was killed in Tennessee during an Indian raid on their settlement in that state. He was a native of Virginia and had resided in Tennessee but a short time, when his untimely and tragic death occurred. Those of the settlers who were left unharmed moved to St. Louis and with these came Ennis Burris and his mother."
This Ennis Burris was born in 1787.
The earliest Burris I have found so far are in Jackson County Tennessee.....
in Jackson Co TN land records there are:
1802 Boz Burriss
Jan 1814 - mentions heirs of John Burress
1815 - land where John Burress now lives
1819 - William burris
it looks like there might be two John Burriss?
Just thought this might be a place for you to start.
