Good Morning Sharon and List, I sure could use some help on this one. It just doesn't fit with the ages. John Washington Burleson's wife Mary would be about 54 years old when Mary Ann was born. Not to say this is impossible... but very unlikely given the times. I have found a couple sites that show Mary Ann Burleson the daughter of Joseph, son of John, SR. I have also found Mary Ann Burleson listed as the dau of John, Sr. Sharon, I would love to see a copy of the family group record from Mr. Burleson's book. I'm still trying to do a DAR application for my elderly mother and need this one link to complete it. Mary Ann Burleson and Burrell W. Howell are already married on the 1850 census. I was hoping there is an old will or probate in the county for John, SR or Joseph that might give indicated a relationship with Mary Ann.
