    3. I am looking for the parents of Tim Burks and Elizabeth (Lizzie) Lewis. Elizabeth was born abt. 1868 in Marshall Co., AL. Tim and Elizabeth married 23 Jul 1891 in Marshall Co. A note attached to the marriage records gives permission for Elizabeth to marry Tim and is signed by "Mattie Lewis". Someone told me Elizabeth's father was Henry Lewis, son of Robert Lewis and Sarah Cagle of Lewis Mountain, but so far I cannot find any marriage, census, etc. records to substantiate this. Elizabeth died between 1910 and 1914 and is buried in an unmarked grave in Old Union Cemetery in Grant. Tim and Lizzie lived in the Grant/Hebron area. Their children were: Henry, Earl Edward, Molly C., Robert J., Frank, Wheeler Joe, Carlton and Bill. Tim was born in Cleveland, OH and migrated to Marshall Co. before 1891. Census records state his father was born in Germany but I have no name. After Lizzie's death he married Etta Mae Morrison and they had several children: James Gordon, Hazel Pauline, Laura Catherine, William George, and Wilburn Douglas. Any help would be appreciated. M.
