Sharon & Patricia, I can't find Miriam anywhere, even in these updated uploads on the Burnett's. I showed a Humphrey POSEY in the Henry Co., GA census. Most of us know that Francis J. Dover was supposed to be married to Polly POSEY, so I follow the POSEY's ... as allusive as all our lines. There was a Humphrey POSEY in Buncombe Co., NC fairly early living near a Joseph CROSS. Also near the family that is supposed to be the ancestors of Elvis Presley. In the John Ehle book, "Trail of Tears," he talked briefly about a Humphrey POSEY in Buncombe that was a circuit riding Baptist minister who made a lot of progress with the Cherokee when the Methodists had failed. Humphrey briefly went to Tennessee and set up a Baptist school for the Cherokee children and church for the families. Don't know if this is the same guy or not. As long as I'm out in left field (again), one of the prominent Revolutionary commanders was a POSEY who was said to be the illegitimate son of George Washington. Think he went to Missouri. The POSEY thing is interesting because they were in that part of Alabama that had been part of the Creek Nation. There are several POSEY families that have a FIELDING middle name pattern (my connection), and these are the ones in Coosa or that immediate area that went to Arkansas and Texas. They appear to have South Carolina roots and the closest clue is from Pendleton, SC with the next stop in Shelby County, Alabama with a DOVER in the neighboring household.
