How tough would it be to get a scan of the newspaper article from the microfilm? Do you know anything about the relationships between the Burney family and the BROOKS? I know that there was at least one marriage. But I think there may have been more. Anything you might know about James and Anna BROOKS? They were Pioneers to the area there between Leon co. and Jefferson Co. circa 1829. I haven't been able to find anything with her maiden name on it... just a hunch, could be she was a Burney? I have seen Guilford's name on land records.. how much do you have on this family? - Bill Carolyn Schiewe wrote: > > I am a descendant of Willis Burney thru his son Guilford Burney. > While doing research in Tallahasse,FL, I discovered a newspaper notice > of the death of Willis Burney on microfilm of the May 20, 1842, issue of > The Florida Sentinel indicating his death occurred on May 11, 1842, and > that he was about 67 year old which would place his birthdate ca 1775. > Thought you might like the information. - ------------------------------------------------- The Brooks Historian - Bill Brooks http://home.fda.net/bbrooks/public_html/brooks.htm http://www.my-ged.com/db/surnames/bbrooks/A mailto:bbrooks@fda.net Surnames - ARCHER, BROOKS, BURNEY, EDMONDS, FREEMAN, GOFF, GRACE, HALL, KNAPP, MANNING, TAYLOR, WILSON - ------------------------------------------------- -- - ------------------------------------------------- The Brooks Historian - Bill Brooks http://home.fda.net/bbrooks/public_html/brooks.htm http://www.my-ged.com/db/surnames/bbrooks/A mailto:bbrooks@fda.net Surnames - ARCHER, BROOKS, BURNEY, EDMONDS, FREEMAN, GOFF, GRACE, HALL, KNAPP, MANNING, TAYLOR, WILSON - -------------------------------------------------
