Daryl and Group, According to William Gene Burleson in his book "The Burleson Family History" published Huntsville, Alabama 1988, the Mary Ann "Polly" Burleson who married Burrell Wright Howell was a sister to Joseph Burleson who married Patience Ward. He reports both Joseph (b. 1796 NC) and Mary Ann (b. 1828 TN) were children of John Washington Burleson and his wife Mary Elizabeth "Polly" McGee. I have seen the claim that Ms. McGee was a second wife for John Washington Burleson, which would indicate Joseph's mother as wife number one. If you would like a copy of the family group record from Mr. Burleson's book, please respond. Also, there is an excellent Burleson Family Association in Texas where you can leave a question.
