The Levi Henry Burcham mess

Hello,
I'm glad to have someone to talk to about this.I, too, believe I come from one of the Levi Burchams.He would be my sixth great grandfather.I know for fact that I come from his son, Henry Burcham (b. abt 1811 d. 1867). Henry was born in Hickman County, TN and brought his wife and sons to Tishomingo County sometime between 1830 and 1845.Knowing this, and that Levi was buried in Tishomingo County gives me hope that I can confirm that he is Henry's father.My grandmother was sent a large amount of Burcham family history that a distant relative had done back in the 80's.He stated that the best he could find on our line was that Levi had married a woman named (Honora?) Ann Wyatt.From there they had had several children.I have been VERY confused with the whole situation becuase I had been told there were some Nancys thrown in there somewhere.I know I'm of no help really, but I have been trying to straighten out the whole Burcham situation and have never been able to completely wrap my head around it.I was sent picutes of the headstones of Levi and Lucinda's headstones.If you ever are able to figure out the whole mess I would appreciate so much to hear how it all worked.
Thank you,
Jordan
