Burris of Roane/Monroe co TN
Does anyone have any Burris relatives from Roane/Monroe co TN? I found a William, John, and John A. Burress/Burriss in 1830 Monroe co TN census and these names follow the name patterns in my line.Monroe co was taken from Roane co in 1819. The John in this census was age 60-70 in 1830, making him born between 1760 and 1770, and he could be one of five brothers born between these years that were sons of immigrant from London,John Burroughs/Burris and his wife Nancy ____, a Cherokee, who lived in Surry co NC. A William Burris married a Wilson in 1814 in Roane co TN, and they later moved to Campbell co TN, where my line lived along the Campbell/Anderson co TN border. My line has Elijah, born 1761 or 67, Jesse b. 1770, William, b. between 1762-66, and two more whom I have not identified yet, but it was passed down that 5 brothers lost track of each other.RB
