I descend from Lucy Blakeley/Porter Burgess. Catherine Blaney was his first wife. As we have learned more about the Burgess family, the family researchers have come to believe that Porter Burgess' grandfather, Nathaniel Burgess, was married to Miriam Morrison. She is buried in the Scotch Ridge Cemetery (d. 1849). Do you have any probabilities for who her parents might have been? Thank you for your time. Robin
