Hello Donna, and Laura, Good to see you both back and busy at it. Do either of you know if the BURRIS, and BURTON families you are discussing are originally from Wayne Co., Ky. ? I would be interested to know. And Laura we have got to get together on our Shaw, Frazier and Ramsey's.

Donna, I inquired about the place of origin because there was a large, I mean large contingent of folks that moved from the Wayne Co., Ky. to Randolph, Macon and Chariton Counties. I assume that Mercer Co. is probably close to the Wayne Co. area. There were several Burris and Burton families that made this treck.
