| When did William arrive in Montgomery and from where? The William in Bedford is probably the son of Edmund Burrass, who I find no relation to this William. |

| William is not listed in the tax records for these years, although Micajah is still listed. I could have missed him, film was very hard to read. But seems to have a problem being found to repay a debt...So may not have been taxed that year |

1815-1820? |
Montgomery County, Virginia, USA |
- 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.
