Hello fellow researchers!
I am hoping to locate someone that can help me locate the death of Matilda
Catherine Burks Dyer b. 1841 in IN. She married James H. dyer 12 Nov 1859 in
Greene Co., IN. James H. was the son of James Dyer and Nancy Rains. James
Sr. died 1883 in Green Co. (I don't know where he is buried) and his wife was
Nancy Rains (I think??). Nancy died in 1848 in Greene Co., IN.
James died 24 Sept 1887 in Daviess Co., IN and is buried in the Plainville
Cemetery in Daviess Co., IN.
I do not know if she is buried next to James or perhaps she might have
remarried?
I certainly could use some help!
I located Matilda on the 1850 census as daughter of Floyd Burks and Helen E.
Thompson. They were living in Monroe Co., IN. I have found on
Ancestry.com
some have listed her father as Edmund. I don't believe that's correct, but
I could be wrong.
If anyone has any information on the Dyer and Burks family I would love to
hear from them.
