Hello: I am looking for a WILEY or WYLEY H. BURGESS from Franklin Co., Ga. who may have come to this county in Texas after the War Between the States. He was a cousin to members of the HARDY Family that came from Laurens Co., S.C. to Franklin Co., Ga. His uncle was HENRY H. HARDY. Henry had a son who was CHRISTOPHER HAZEL "KIT" HARDY and he married April 15, 1886 in Palo Pinto co., Texas to MARY ELLA MCCOUN daughter of Benjamin Warren and Elizabeth Jane Gary McCoun. I am wondering if he came to Palo Pinto County because Wiley H. Burgess his first cousin had already relocated here. I have no knowledge of who Wiley married or if he married. He served in the War In Galt's Ga. 1st State Line. He was the son of Berry and Nancy Hardy Burgess also from Laurens Co., S.C. who moved to Franklin Co., Ga. in 1851. Wiley was born in Laurens Co., S.C. in abt. 1843. Can anyone out there give me a lookup in the 1870 Texas Census Index for Wiley H. Burgess. I just know Wiley "went to Texas" from family history passed down. I know Texas is BIG state so I started in a county that other members of the family are KNOWN to have moved to. Any help will be greatly appreciated by this "GA. Girl". Thank you, please e-mail me at my private e-mail address as I am not subscribed to this list.
