I saw the below for William H. Burris and figured I would add my own Brick Wall involving My own William H. Burris.. I am looking for any Burris's in Northern VT mid early-mid 1800's, More specifically William Henry Burris I estimate b1854. His marriage record (2nd marriage- I cant find anything on his 1st) has his birth place as Danby CT, but his childrens birth records say all sorts of different places - mostly Northern VT. (Hyde Park, Morristown, Johnson) but also a NY. He married June 6, 1870 Morristown VT, Mary Jane EATON and had 8 children. Also according to his marriage record his father was William D. Burris and his mother was Mary ( no surname) Family Tradition says one of the Burris ancestors ( which one is not known) was a sailor along with his brother, who stole his money and took off when they reached America.
