(we think for thomas) Burries/Burris, was born in MD, as were both of his parents (whose names we do not know, nor where in MD any of them were born). He was born about 1830, as he died in Franklin, IN, in 1901, at 70 years of age. He was married to Margaret V (for Vandivier, we think) Watson, who was b. in VA, and died and was buried in Brown Co., IN, in 1897, Wm. then married Nancy Moore. Several of his 6-7 (grown) children contested his will, in that he'd left some $$ and property to the second wife. (We have census info for 4 census, the earliest in Ohio, when they had 4 of the children with them, one having been born in Ohio. The rest were all born in IN.) Do you have a William? What do you know about him?
