Will, thanks for posting this. I haven't found out much more, any more, really about Mary Adelia Burris who married Thomas Leroy Latta, and who both taught school in Calais and other towns around Monroe Co. I did find on one of her class souvenirs that listed the board of education 1899-1900 school year: J.L. BURRIS. Do you (or any one at all out there) know anything about J.L. If he was on the school board, there should be something known about him.

This is being sent out to all of my lists to let you know about a problem RootsWeb began experiencing in the last couple of days that is causing some valid subscribers to not receive posts to lists he/she subscribes to. When a post is not delivered to a subscriber, it is "bounced" to the List Admin (that's me) for information. When a certain bounce threshold is reached within a given period of time, that subscriber is dropped from the list as no longer active. Normally this is good, because it purges the lists of people who change ISPs without notifying us, or are otherwise not receiving e-mail. In this case,however, it is due to certain ISPs who have installed spam filters and are listing RootsWeb on their reject list erroneously. In a few cases, some RootsWeb mail is getting through, and some is not, but in all cases when a subscriber reaches a given number of bounces, his subscription is terminated automatically by the servers. If you have a personal spam filter installed like "Spamcop" or others, or if your ISP has one installed to do it for you,then you are a possible candidate to have your RootsWeb mail cut off without notice. For now, please just keep an eye on the volume of mail you get. If you have a sudden drop in mail, try to subscribe to the list once again. If you are still subscribed, you should (hopefully) receive a notice to that effect. If you are not on the list any longer, your subscription attempt will be accepted and you will be put back on the list. You may also write to me privately if you would like me to check it for you, but please understand that with having 10 lists that I manage I cannot possibly do everyone manually so I would ask that you try it yourself first. I thank you in advance for your cooperation in this regard. I do not even know if this message will get to everyone, but hopefully it will. If there are any questions, please feel free to contact me off the list. RootsWeb is working to resolve this problem with the people who control the spam filters, and hopefully it will be resolved before too many more people are dropped from the lists.

Hi List I have found new info and now I'm not sure what is right the family was told that William Burris father when he got off the Man of War ship he went to Ohio well, I had found out something different and seen that William was born in Virginia and that was on one of the census and I think that might have been the 1850 or 1860 and now I have found that on the 1880 census he has listed Maryland as place of birth and what we thought from the family bible of the year that he was born is also different and we had his death in 1878 but he shows up in the 1880 census living with his son and daughter - in-law/ niece for that marriage was first cousins.

It involved a lot of Tiltons and Frosts, but the brick wall is Betsy Burriss. I have been doing lots of research on Elijah Tilton of Ohio and have found that there were Elijahs, Richards, and Williams all over the place at the same time in that area. "Mine" were in Knox County, Jefferson Township. There wwas an Elijah and a William also in Knox County, Jackson Twp. But I found land records that show my Elijah and a Richard living in Jefferson Twp.less than a mile from Josiah Frost, Jr., whose son, Joseph, married Deborah Tilton, one of the children of Elijah. Deborah and Joseph moved to Ogle County, IL with Elijah. My grandmother's family record quite clearly says "Grandmother Debbie's mother was a Burriss before she married. (Elijah Tilton)" There was a Rev. Burriss who organized the first Methodist Church iin Jefforson Township OH, and my family were all staunch Methodists. I believe that the standard references on Tiltons in Ohio are wrong about my line. Tilton researchers refer me to the books that say my Elijah married Elizabeth Claw. But my grandmother had everything else right, so I am quite sure that my Elijah did not marry Elizabeth Claw or Clow. I have looked at genealogies on the Web and found references to a Betsy or Betty Burriss, who was the daughter of a Rev. Burriss (which one, and when, I don't know), which explains the fact the my Elijah's wife was named Elizabeth. But she was not Elizabeth Claw! Does anyone have ony info on Burris or Burriss ministers who lived in Ohio? Charnee Smit

John C. Burris b. 1775-1779 (based on wife's birthdate & letter to me from Tom G. Burrows, Merritt Island, Fla dated 8-6-1986 in which he says b. 1776 or 1777 in Guilford Co. N. C. says he moved to Highland Co. Oh when oher Quakers moved there) m. Deborah Ballard b. 3-4-1779 (7th of 9 ch. of Thomas Ballard & Elizabeth based on Westfield, Surry Co., N. C. meeting records) 1808 listed on Highland Co., Ohio Voters List. 7-28-1810 Fairfield MM, Ohio John C. Bures & w received on certificate from (person sending copy cut off balance of column) In the same location was John and Frances, Daniel, and Barclay. 7-28-1810 Fairfield MM, Ohio Deborough (Buris) received on certificate from (balance of column missing) 1-18-1815 John C. bought land in Highland Co., OH from Nat'l Pope & James Johnson 12-25-1815 Highland Co., OH John C. and wife Deborah sold land to John Harleman 1-6-1818 Highland Co., OH he married Sarah Jessup (conclusion: wife Deborah died 1816-1817) There is a gap in records at this point. I don't know if he died or what here. But I see more John C. records elsewhere but they could be those of a John C. Jr. 12-21-1829 Morgan Co., Ind. land deed John C. Burris twp. 14 1840 Index to Indiana Census lists John C. Burris as a head of household in Morgan Co., IN. Another listing from Original Deed Book 4 from Highland Co., OH stated in deposition dated October 18, 1836 that S.E. corner of tract of Andrew Beaver (deposition to prove validity) Samuel Ramsey deposes that about 1817 or 1818 hew saw the trees marking the corner. James Ramsey deposes the same as Samuel. Both Ramseys state that JOHN C. BURRIS was then the owner of the Andrew Beaver tract. My thought and there is absolutely no proof to back this up, is that since John C. Burris traveled the same routes that John Burris and wife Esther Terry and their family traveled that he could possibly be the son of one of their older children such as William or Moses. In some notes someone sent me years ago I have a notation on Moses "1784 John Burris moved to Stokes Co., N. C. on Toms Creek. Moses about 19 years of age." This would indicate for instance that John & Esther's older son William had to have been at least 20 or older. Little is known about William as he was disowned, condemned for his outgoings etc. several times until he was finally disowned. William could have been born as early as 1757 or 1758. William was still at home in 1-30-1776 according to Quaker records but he could have been married at any time about Jan. 30, 1776. Tom G. Burrows was having the same problem you had in straightening out the different John Burris, but he did not have the problem solved in 1986 when he wrote me. Good luck!
