My great grandmother was their daughter Josephine born 1875. Joseph Buress spelled his name Burress even though the children all spelled their names with "is". He was born in Illinois. His wife (Hulda Elizabeth Wood) was born in Missouri in either 1847/48. They were married in Independence County Arkansas 7 Oct 1869. She was living during the 1920 Census with her duaghter Bessie and son in law. At that time she was 72. She was not on the 1930 census so I know she died before then. I have a picture of them together and also one of each of them when they were babies. I also have some really old pictures that I haven't found the connection to yet. If you want me to e-mail you the pictures, I'd be happy to. Do you know anything I haven't mentioned? If so I would appreciate the help. This has been slow going patching this together, but it is reliable.
