[Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

I'd like to know where the proof was found her father, William Burris, was a Rev. Soldier. Unless there were two unrelated William Burris' in Montgomery County, there is zero proof the one that lived there was in the Rev. War. He seemed to be a very poor man who was constantly in trouble with debts. If anyone could offer proof of the Rev. War connection or information of a William Burris on Montgomery I missed, please let me know.

Birth:
The only proof of a connection between William Burress and Elizabeth is the marriage record, that does not specifically name Wm as her father. Could have been brother or some other relatives & also is this the same Wm claimed to be the father of Micajah?

Died:
Asthma

Henry married Anna Barbara Widmer in 1826 in Virginia, United States. Anna was born in 1808 in Germany; died in 1895 in Virginia, United States. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

Birth:
Bedford County was formed in 1754 from Albemarle and Luneburg Counties.

Deed:
Note: Burruss or Irby, or their wifes got the property from Henry Candler, date unknown

Census 1810:
1 Male 16-251 Male 45+; 1 Female -10; 1 Female 16-25; 1 Female 45+ (this would indicated William had two other daughters besides Elizabeth)

Died:
Only a guess based on the reasoning in 1810 he was in Montgomery Co. In 1820 the only Wm within range is in Campbell who is too young. Assuming he didnt leave Montgomery and he didn't get missed in 1820 census, he probably died between 1812-20.

William married Ellender Candler (?) in 1774 in Virginia, United States. Ellender (daughter of John Candler and Elizabeth Gibson) was born about 1757 in Virginia, United States. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

Name:
The fact that Ellender is the daughter of John and Elizabeth is not proven! I also do not know if she was William's first or second wife. The only proof of their marriage was a deed in 1809 Campbell County.

Other Events:

• Bedford: 1753, Bedford County, Virginia; Bedford County is formed from parts of Lunenburg and Albemarle counties.
