Message Board Post:
I just wanted to correct the information that states that Rebecca Burress (daughter of
David / Nancy Burress) was living with Alfred and Harriet Burris in 1850. The Rebecca
living with Alfred and Harriet cannot be the daughter of David and Nancy Burress.
David Burress and Nancy MConnoughay were married November 15, 1849 in Indiana. Probate
records show that David Burress died September 1855 and lists Nancy as his wife.
Rebecca Eliza Burress is listed on the 1860 Barr Township, Daviess County, Indiana US
Census with her mother, Nancy.
On that census she is listed as 5 years old which means she was not born until around
1850.
On the 1860 census Rebecca is listed as having been born in Illinois. Her mother, Nancy,
is listed as a widow and is 27.
Rebecca eventually married Elisha Doane on August 20, 1872 in Daviess County, Indiana. I
descend through one of their daughters Eva Ellen Doane.
Nancy (McConnoughay)Burress eventually remarried to a Luther Masters.
