Polly BURRIS m.McMurtry m.Phillips
I am looking for "Polly" Burris b. 8 Feb 1827 Henry Co., IN., d. 10 May 1918, Hamilton CO., IN. Married twice - Ansel H. McMurtry (my line) and Thomas Phillips after Ansel's death. Family tradition holds that g-grandfather Samuel McMurtry (Polly's son) was 1/32 Cherokee; an ancestor of Princess Tanzi, daughter of a Cherokee Chief. If true, this connection might have been "upstream" from Polly 5 generations. Does this Indiana (Henry/Hamilton co.) Burris family sound familiar to anyone? Thanks. /Jim/
