Their son Elias (my gggg gf) married Sarah Burgess, dau of Edward and Margaret (maiden name unk) Burgess in Pittsylvania Co., VA 1785. She was also born in Prince Georges Co., MD. Elias and Sarah migrated to Franklin Co., GA, ca. 1790 and lived out their lives there.

She died there in 1898 and he in 1904 and they are buried there. I descend from their son, William Samuel, born 1859, South Carolina, d. 1903, Indian Territory, in a coal mine explosion. His son, William Turner Burgess, returned to Jefferson Co., AL in 1916 and was active in Coal Mine Safety throughout his life. He was my grandfather.
