Note: AFN:K1V1-VX 23 Sep 98 From Wills, Administrations, Guardianships and Adoptions of Highland County, Ohio (1805-1880): "June 25, 1863. Elizabeth B. Roberts, widow of Thomas Roberts, dec'd., declined to administer his estate and the court appointed James P. Roberts Administrator. Sureties: William and John Roberts." She may be the daughter of Jacob Burris, 1803-1875, and his wife Nancy A., both buried in Burris Family Cemetery, Eagle Twp, Brown Co, Ohio. They had children in 1823 and in 1830 and later. 3 Apr 01 From Brian Burris, <[email protected]> "We found her tombstone, located in the Eagle Township World War Memorial Cemetery, located on U.S. 62 in Fincastle. Her tombstone reads: Elizabeth, wife of William Martin- died Feb. 11, 1903, aged 77 yrs, 3 mos, 27 days. This would put her birthdate on or around October 15th, 1825. It says in the census that she was born October 12th, 1825. This has got to be the same Elizabeth- there are just too many likenesses for it not to be. Elizabeth is buried right in front of yet another Jonathon Burris, who, going by the birthdate on his marker, would be the son of Jacob [brother of Elizabeth]." From Ed Tillman, <[email protected]> "Both Elizabeth & John Abraham (my great-grandfather) were the children of Jacob Burris. Both were living with their grandparents, Jonathan & Elizabeth, in 1850, as you mention, but I have no idea why. Maybe helping out, as the grandparents were getting up in years. However, in 1840, they were still at home. In his will, Jonathan mentions his two sons and refers to Elizabeth Robberts (with 2 b's) as his granddaughter..." |
