It's been a while since I've worked on this family. But, I guess I'm abt to get back into it. I checked my marriage records & didn't find a marriage for Peter Burris to Susan Kesterson in 1847. Peter would have been abt 29 years old. I wonder if this was a 2nd marriage. I just now checked my census records, & I guess not. 1840 Campbell Co, TN Census Records Burris, Peter 1 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 1 Males Females 10001 10001 It appears, (if this is the correct one) that he had a son & dau, before he left Campbell Co, TN.
