I am looking for the parents of my ancestor, Mary Ellefair (or Elifair or Ellifair or Ellafair or Ellyfair) Ailene (or Adline or Adalaide or Alleice) Finklea (or Finklia or Finkley). She married Thomas G. (possibly Godfrey) Burfitt (or Burfit or Burfet or Burfoot or Barfoot or Barfelt). I believe they were married in 1850 or before. According to census records, Ellefair was born between 1830 and 1835. Thomas G. Burfitt was assumed killed in the War Between the States as per his military records. What other areas or records could I search!?! Any information on the Burfitt or Finklea families of Butler, Covington, Monroe, Lowndes or Dallas counties in Alabama would be very greatly appreciated! Thanks! Fredreica BURFITT, T. G. State: AL Year: 1860 County: Lowndes County Record Type: Federal Population Schedule Township: Hayneville P. O. Page: 523 Database: AL 1860 Federal Census Index T.G.

Burfitt) born in New York Census states Thomas G. Burfitt and Mary E.A. Finklea Burfitt had 5 children, but only 4 survived. I don't know if the deceased child was born before Mary or after Frank or somewhere in between. I have been unable to locate a marriage record for Thomas G. Burfitt and M. Ellefair A. Finklea in Lowndes County. >From Marriage Record G., page 411 I have that R. H. Burfitt married Mary E. Grant January 8, 1880, at the residence of James Sharp. They were married by F.A. Liles. R.H. Burfitt is Robert H. Burfitt, son of Thomas G. Burfitt and Ellafair Finklea. He was born 4 Dec 1855 in Benton, Lowndes Co., AL and died 27 Dec 1921. He married Mary Ella Grant at the home of her grandparents. His brother, Frank Edward Burfitt married Martha Emma Hayden Burfitt. It looks as if Tom Burfitt and their sister, Mary Burfitt, never married.
