Rusty There was a Wiseman Burson that married one of my ggGrandfathers daughters that was from Carroll County, GA. The migrated to Texas. I have the name of the person that told me about that. However, I have not heard from her in several months. I responded to her note telling me about the marriage and requested that we get our lines together but she never responded.

While I was poking around up there in northeast TX looking for my line, I ran across another bunch up in Titus county, but they weren't connected to me (at least not in TX -- they might have been distant cousins). That's not your bunch, is it? Haven't heard about Wiseman Burson. I have a very good paper trail from Georgia to Mississippi to Texas. My Wiseman married an Isabella Pannell in Georgia. In Georgia, on one of the census sheets (1840 I think, don't have my binder in front of me at the moment), Wiseman and Isabella are living on one farm, the next farm over is Isabella's dad Zachariah Pannell, and the next farm is a Wiley Bridges. Always thought Wiley was connected, but haven't been able to show it.
