Posted on: Searcy County, Ar Query Forum Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Ar/Searcy/11535 Surname: Burnes, Lewis, Norris ------------------------- We definitely have a connection!! Betty Phildary Burnes is the daughter of Thomas S. Burnes and Elizabeth Holtzclaw Burnes, her given name is Elizabeth, they lived in Searcy Co., AR and Marion Co., AR. I'm not sure of her birthdate, but she's listed in "Genealogies of Marion County Families 1811-1900:" "ELIZABETH "Betty" BURNES b. AR d. aged 22 m. aged 15 JOHN LEWIS (son of Daniel and Mary (Norris) Lewis.)" I find it very interesting that Betty's middle name is Phildary, we have several women in the Burnes line named after Fildera (Dowden) Hardy, she would be the grandmother of your Elizabeth!! I'm a descendant of Julia Ann Burnes, sister to your Elizabeth. I would love to share info with you!! I'm in contact with many other descendants and we have a web site on MyFamily.com that I would like to invite you to join. Hope to talk to you soon, cuz! Barb Price
