On This Day in Family History - January 30

Elizabeth Angeline Wylie Burns died 30 January 1924, age 76

She was the wife of Rev. Jesse Burton Burns

They were married 23 May 1865 and had nine children: Nancy, Mary, John, Marion, Jennie, Josephine, Lucy, Surena, and Dovie

Jesse was a brother of my great-great-grandmother Malisa Evaline Burns Hicks

Malisa was the wife of John Henry Hicks.

Our Hicks family genealogy records do not go back any farther than this. From here we can trace the Burns family genealogy back three more generations, and then it branches off to the Webb family -- Mary Webb, the wife of Charles Burns. Her family's lineage goes back one more generation to her father Merriweather Wenn Webb, born in 1697 in Virginia, in British Colonial America.

Pretty cool, huh?
