Samuel J. Burris aka Samuel Houston Burris
I am posting this for anyone that has been researching Samuel Burris b. 1817 in LA. ( the birthdate is questionable). I have found copies of his pension claim for the Texas Revolution at Clayton Library in Houston (Texas Revolution Pension Claims reel 206, first 511, last 520.These records state that his middle initial was J. I am not sure where the "Houston" came from.His wife had a brother named Samuel Houston and his son was Samuel Houston. If anyone has any questions about the info please e-mail me. I jst wanted to share this with everyone.
