Diane, I have that Nellie, too, but didn't have her spouse. I would be interested in any information you have on her family if you are willing to share, and would be glad to share any more information with you that I have, which is mostly on the ancestry on Charles M. Burris. (I have nothing else on the children.) I believe this is probably the family you are looking for, below. If you have any questions, let me know. Btw, where it mentions the stones being vandalized in the cemetery.....my father-in-law has been the caretaker at the cemetery the last 20 or so years, and he said years ago a car full of teenagers drove through the fence at the cemetery and ran over these two stones. They were never replaced on the graves, but he found some of the pieces of the original stones in the church's storage shed. That is where the dates came from, piecing the stones together. Sue Dotson [email protected] CHARLES M.4 BURRIS (WILLIAM3, GEORGE T.2, THOMAS1) was born March 1873 in Grayson Co., VA. He married OMA K. CALLAHAN November 28, 1903 in Grayson Co., VA, daughter of S. CALLAHAN and SEALY UNKNOWN. She was born 1890 in Grayson Co., VA, and died 1926. OMA is bur. in the Jerusalem United Methodist Church Cemetery, Row J, Grave 18, Elk Creek, Grayson Co., VA. Children of CHARLES BURRIS and OMA CALLAHAN are: i. GARLIE M.5 BURRIS, b. Abt. 1906, VA; m. MILDRED UNKNOWN, Abt. 1927; b. Abt. 1913, VA. [Had at least 2 sons, Lake & Gary. This family lived across the road from my husband's grandparents in Fallville.] ii. NELLIE C. BURRIS, b. Abt. August 1908, VA. iii. PHEALY BURRIS, b. May 25, 1911; d. Bet. 1912 - 1913. Phealy bur.

Cheryl, Go to www.vitalrec.com and click on "States & Territories". Then click on the state you are interested in. For each state they have a chart listing the vital records, what years are available, how and where to obtain them, and the current fees charged. If request forms are required, there are links to download them. If you need to direct your inquiry to the counties, below the chart there are links to each county page which has their contact information. Good luck!

Does anyone know who the parents were of Harold Wayne Sharp Sr. in the obituary below that appears in today's Galax Gazette online? I have a Harold W. Sharp in my files, s/o Conley W. and Sylvia A.

I started w/Siddie as she married someone else I already had in the database. ;-) Thanks as always for any help! Bette

Can anyone tell me if the Dora Anderson that married Lester Testerman was the d/o Wm. A. & Malinda (Jones) Anderson? The census I found her in (1900) was off from the cem. info I have so I am hoping someone can clarify that for me. As always, I apprecate any help! Bette

Was there a Charles Jones, born about 1766-68 in Grayson County part of this family. He later lived in Henry Co., Va. and was married to Mary "Polly" King.
