The Tapley who was at the Alamo was Tapley Holland, brother of Susanna Holland Burney, not Tapley Burney. There were several Tapleys named from the one who died at the Alamo.

Surnames: Burney, Holland, Harris Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/JiB.2ACE/262.2.1.1 Message Board Post: You did not say which of William and Susanna Burney's children was James Andrew's grandparent. I have some of the descendents in my data, but not James Andrew. Do you have any old photographs from this family? My ancestors, Susan Burney and Wintford Harris, also lived in Madison County when they first married, then moved on to Lampasas County, and finally Eastland County. Regarding the burial of Alamo soldiers, they were apparently stacked and burned just hours or days after being killed. The bones were probably buried later, but no one is sure where. So yes, Tapley Holland's remains are probably buried there, but his only memorial is a plaque inside the Alamo listing him as having been there.

Surnames: Burney, Holland Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/JiB.2ACE/262.2.1 Message Board Post: I have James Andrew Burney who was the great grandson of William and Susan. He was the son of James and Martha (Goodman) Burney. James Andrew was born 3 Nov. 1887 in Madison County, Texas and died 6 Mar 1978 in Andrews County Texas. He married in Madison County in 1907 Bessie Eunice Harrington, born 6 June 1888 and died 18 Nov. 1972 in Andrews County. I'm looking for the parents of Bessie Eunice Harrington. I haven't been able to find her in the 1900 Census. The Handbook of Texas onlinne has some information on William Burney and Francis and William Holland. William Burney's son Tapley was at the Alamo and I believe is buried there.

Surnames: Burney, Holland, Harris Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/JiB.2ACE/262.2 Message Board Post: I am a descendent of Susan, next to youngest child of William Burney and Susanna Holland. I have done quite a lot of research on this family. Susan Burney married Wintford Harris. They are my great-grandparents. At present I am looking for descendents of Susan's siblings. Susan had a photo album which has come into my care. There are people whose identify I do not know among the pictures and I'm hoping someone else has pictures to compare. Do I understand correctly that Gordon Burney's ancestor was James Burney? Do you know that James' wife Eudora was a sister of Wintford Harris? They had a fairly close history (living near each other) so I am thinking James' family is a likely place to look. I would like to hear from any descendents, especially if they have pictures.

Please direct any answers to Joan Lewis-Osborne at jlo@myclearwave.net Eleanor Colson I am looking for African-American cemeteries in or near Navasota, TX.  My great-great-grandparents died in and around Navasota in the 1920s and 30s and I am trying to locate possible grave sites.  Unfortunately, none of my cousins living in Navasota and Houston have any idea where they are buried. I live in Minnesota and have not been able to travel down to Navasota to do any investigating.  My great-great-grandfather, Jeff Jefferson, was a slave who lived in Grimes County and died there in 1923, his death certificate lists an undertaker, CA Dunavant, Navasota Texas and since he lived in the country it says "place of removal, City."  So I assume he was buried in the City of Navasota and since he was a landowner and several of his children were fairly well off, I thought that he may have had a grave stone.  If you know of any African-American cemeteries or African-American churches in Navasota with cemeteries I would love to have that information.  I also intend to submit a family tree with names and birth and death dates to  your site, much of my great-grandmothers family lived in Grimes and Washington Counties from the 1850s on, all were slaves and freedmen.   Joan Lewis-Osborne
