Surname: Avery, Burns, Perry
-------------------------
Hello Vickie,
I have some information on the Elizabeth Avery married to Andrew Burns
for you.
My 3rd great grandfather, Jesse Avery (b:10/19/1829-12/1/1892-Sandcreek
Cemetery; Morgan Co.) had a sister named Elizabeth and she married a Andrew
Burns. I do not have their dates of birth or marriage. But I do have their
children; Anna married James Voiles, Nancy, Maccallum married Nettie Voiles,
Melvinia married Elize Lochart, Dora, Amy married Harvey Gillaspy, Andrew
married Corda Fulcher, William married Bertha Prather.
Jesse and Elizabeth's parents were David Avery b: 6/24/1798 NC d: 1/6/1874
married Nancy Kemp b: 3/11/1806 d: 5/20/1843
Both are buried in Sandcreek Cemetery (just east of the cemetery wood sign).
David and Nancy had 7 children; including: Jefferson b: 12/1/1836 - 5/14/1914,
Madison 12/30/1833-1/4/1910,Monroe, Abraham, Angeletta d: 4/20/1857.
David purchased 80 acres of land on August 26, 1823 from the United States
Government that is now next to the Sandcreek Cemeter; the new subdivision
"Morgan Trails".
David Avery's parents were John Avery b: 1768 d:3/31/1845
and Mary Pringle b: 2/14/1779 d: 3/31/1850 Sandcreek Cemetery.
How are you related to Elizabeth Avery? Could you provide me her marriage
date? Also I see you have surname of Perry also in your surname list. I
also have Perry's in Green Township, Morgan Co.
Any information is most apprecaited!
