Continued: Elizabeth's maiden name is unknown but might possibly be "Freeman". 1) There are Freemans present in Hancock Co GA at the time Elizabeth and Joseph Burgess are presumed to be there. 2) The name "Freeman" is used by possible descendants of this couple.
Elizabeth is recorded as the wife of Joseph Burgess by Dec of 1807. She may be a second wife as she is nearly 20 years younger than Joseph and only a few years old than a couple of his possible children.
Elizabeth is with Joseph Burgess in the 1820 census of Union District SC. In the 1830 and 1840 census for Union District, SC, Elizabeth is the head of the household as Joseph was presumably killed in 1824.
