I am interested in finding the parents of both Harriet Gilley b. 1837 IN who married
Garland T. Burris b. ca. 1827 KY. I find them as a married couple only in the 1860 census
in Daviess Co IN. They had Children:
Seth Curtis Burris b. ca. 1854 IN m. Laura Dillon 1874 Daviess Co IN. By 1877, he married
Caroline Mayes and they moved to Illinois.
Jesse P. Burris b. ca.1856 living with them in 1860. I do not know what happened to him
after 1860.
Laura Burris ca. 1870 IN, she is living with Seth C. Burris and his wife in 1880 in IL
listed as sister.
I suspect that Garland maybe the relative of one of the other Seth Curtis Burris' in
Daviess Co IN. Seth Curtis Burris b. 1800 d. bef 1870 m. Rebecca Polly and Seth Curtis
Burris b. 1836 KY d. 1914 Alfordsville, Daviess Co IN m. Mary Jane Allen.
Does anyone have access to the burial records for Daviess Co that would be willing to
check for Garland and Harriet Burris?
If anyone has any additional information on the Garland Burris family, I would like to
hear from you.
