I live in Franklin, NC about 6 to 7 hrours' drive from Lewis Co.My husband, Robert Lloyd Hughes, is the descendant from Sophia Burriss b. 1813 md. Fielding Tilton Lewis on 11 Jul 1826 (my husband's maternal 2nd great grandparents).Their daughter, Jemima (or Jamima, known as Mima)Lewis married (1) a ___Finsley, (2) Enoch Howard b. 11 Mar 1829 in Lewis Coo., Ky (they were my husband's maternal great grandparents).
Their son, Robert Howard b. 1875 married Elizabeth Bruce b. 25 Jan 1880 (they were my husband's grandparents).Their daughter, Tressie Marie Howard b. 7 May 1903 d. 26 Nov 1978 md. Lloyd Allen Hughes b. 6 Dec 1900 (my husband's parents).
We may travel to Cincinnati for the 4th of July and may, possible, get to Lewis Co.I was there two years ago and found it to be a lovely place.I was most impressed with its Blue Ridge beauty.We live near the southern terminus of the Blue Ridge chain in southwestern NC.
Most of my husband's maternal ancestors are buried in the Howard Cemetery off the AA highway (owned by Merrill Osborne, my husband's distant cousin).
If I learn more about Basil Burriss I will let you know.
