Hello, I hope that someone out there can help me with this terrible brick wall. I hate to ask the list, but my dad has been diagnosed with Alzheimer's, and I would love to find out more for his sake. Please, if you know anything that might help, contact me off the list at pegbh@verizon.net I do not know a lot, only one census has been found. We think he may have died in Indian Territory OK, but my dad once told me that in Tx it was also common for them to bury the dead in the yard by a tree. No death certificate can be found. The census we have found is: 1880 Cass county, TX Prect. 3: Burns, Samuel born 1853 MO. age 27 in 1880 Mary Burns wife 26 b. MS William son 7 b. TX Mary dau 5 b. TX Thank You! Peggy
