    3. Hi Will. Just thought I would let you know something about nicknames, etc. I noticed that you gave the name of Mary Polly as a BURRIS. "Polly" is a nick name for Mary. I don't know who started that, but you can easily get confused with the name(s). One time it may give her name as Polly and other times it may read as Mary. While I am on the subject of nicknames....you may also find legal documents giving their nickname and sometimes they may have listed more than one nickname and use it sometimes. I found that happened to my maternal grandfather. His marriage record list him as Jodie, his death cert. list him as Joda (what his wife called him) and when I found his birth cert. it was listed as Jos. L. CAREY. His marriage certificate also had his last name as LEARY and someone had scratched through it at the courthouse. That was due to the fancy handwriting they had in the years past. Hope this helps you. Good luck on your search. BURRIS/BURROWS is a real challenge.
