Hello joann. I am not a professional at this or anything , I do have a few Kentucky books to look in . But have you tried http://www.familysearch.org . Also I was wondering if maybe nancy divorced and the only name that was written down after that was Tate whom she remarried? I just thought maybe that might be a direction to look . Good Luck , hope you find the answer . I have Kentucky will book which has a few Burgess's in it. It has a John Burgess listed in the harrison County ,ky will abstracts written sept 2, 1826. Also another one that mentions William Anderson son of Ann Burgess written jan 29 1833.

Ky List; Montgomery Co Ky List; Clay County Kentucky List; Menifee County Ky List Subject: [KYPOWELL] Louisa Catherine Barnes I have the Montgomery County marriage of Louisa "Eliza" Barnes and John Burgess. It says John 21 1st Marriage resident of Menifee Co born Clay Co. as were both parents. and Louisa C. Barnes 18 1st marriage resident of Montgomery Co. born Mont gomery County as were both parents. Surety Frank Crouch. to be married 23 Dec 1875 at residence of Nancy J. Barnes. My problem is Louisa's mothers maiden name. I have her father as John Barnes and mother as Nancy J. Edwards, but the death certificate for Louisa from Missouri says her mother was Nancy J. Tate. I was hoping someone might clear it up as to whether her mother was Edwards or Tate. Thanks.
