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. Jerusalem United Methodist Church Cemetery, Row C, Grave 8 (no stone; original vandalized), Elk Creek, Grayson Co., VA iv. ROBERT BURRIS, b. August 06, 1913; d. February 06, 1916. Robert bur. Jerusalem United Methodist Church Cemetery, Row C, Grave 7 (no stone; original vandalized), Elk Creek, Grayson Co., VA v. MARY BURRIS, b. August 12, 1917; d. August 12, 1917. Mary bur. Jerusalem United Methodist Church Cemetery, Row C, Grave 6, Elk Creek, Grayson Co., VA vi. KYLE C. BURRIS, b. Abt. April 1919, VA; d. Bef. 1930. Kyle bur. Jersalem United Methodist Church Cemetery, Row C, Grave 5, Elk Creek, Grayson Co., VA vii. WAYNE BURRIS, b. Abt. 1926, VA. ----- Original Message ----- From: Diane Renfrow To: [email protected] Sent: Saturday, January 17, 2004 3:45 PM Subject: Re: [VAGRAYSO] Burris -- Boone My Nellie was Nellie Clara Burris,married Henry Henderson Wilson.

Diane, I have a Henry Wilson in my files b. Abt. 1908, s/o John William Wilson and Bessie Unknown. John William Wilson's second wife, Vera Virginia Porter, is also bur. at Jerusalem, so I am wondering if this Henry Wilson in my files is the same person as your Henry Henderon Wilson?

Oh Sue, Indeed it is! Henry Henderson Wilson is the son of John Wilson,and John's first wife,Mabel Linkous. John & Mabel had 4 children: Henry,Roy,Cecil,and Mildred. Vera Porter &John had 6 children: Juanita Wilson, J.W. Wilson,nancy Wilson,Donald Wilson,Willie Wilson,and Barbara Wilson. Henry Henderson Wilson is the father of my first husband,Roger Wilson. We divorced in the 70's,but I have a son and a daughter,and I am trying to get their ancestry together for them. Of course,right now,they are probably not interested. But I know how that can change as a person gets older. You are dream come true,Sue,and I thank you so much!
