Hello,
Wilmer Burr (or Papa Burr) was my gg, Eli my G, and Robert Dean my father.We were in Merryville in July for the Newton family reunion.What a small world!
I am researching our family and hit a road block on papa burr.Wasn't Mama Burr's name Vela Browning?Also I have heard stories that Papa was an orphan?I might be wrong, but any help is greatly appreciated.
I'd love to see pictures also.Especially the old ones of "Burr's Ferry".
Thank you,
Melissa Burr Vera
