Surnames: Tally Talley Snow Burris Burress Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/iBH.2ACIB/1012 Message Board Post: My great grandmother's name was Lovie Arkansas Kinard Weeks. She married James Garfield Weeks on April 2, 1908, in Colquitt County, Georgia. She was the daughter of George W. Kinard and Sarah Eveline Tally. Sarah is the one we are researching. She was born June 1851 in Georgia. My great grandmother said that her Mother, Sarah Eveline Tally, could hear the cannons going off when they were shelling Atlanta during the Civil War. That would have put them living around Atlanta in 1864. Sarah married George Kinard in February or March of 1868 in Berrien County, Georgia. My great grandmother wrote in the family bible that Sarah Eveline Tally's mother was Evelyn Snow, and daddy was no name Tally. Evelyn Snow according to family lore was full blooded Indian, presumably Cherokee. Beside Sarah Eveline Talley's name though it has John Burris, Allen Burris, Henry Burris, and Jane Burris listed as Sarah's half brother's and sister. There was also a picture of a lady in my great grandmother's possesion taken on a tin type with the name Tenasee Burris wrote in pencil on the bottom of the paper frame. I know that the lady has got to be kin, but I don't know exactly how. We found a Tennessee Burress (16) in the 1880 Blanco County, Texas census, living with her daddy, William Burress and mother, Eliza. Her siblings were, William (23), Bettie (21), Allen(13), & John (7). The census says that all the kids were born in Georgia. I think that this is the right family but I don't know how they tie in with my family. Any help would be greatly appeciated. I have pictures of Sarah Eveline Tally and Tenasee Burris if anyone is interested. My e-mail address in TC811@AOL.COM. Thanks, Tommy.
