Burford Ancestors - Generation 5 - David Allen Burford

David Allen Burford was born 20 March 1944 in Alton, Illinois.

David was the son of Bernice and Dorothy Burford.

Just FYI -- It seems he was called Bernie by his children and descendants. I only heard him mentioned in the context of my grandparents' household -- Lester (his brother) and Cleffie Burford. In that context, to my recollection, he was always called "Bernice".

David Burford married Judy Lisman.

I don't have a picture of her. 

Children of David Burford and Judy Lisman are:

i. William Allen Burford, born October 1965.

ii. Amy Lee Burford, born October 1966.

iii. Frederick Burford, born October 1966.

[Are they twins? There are a lot of twins in the Burford lineage.]

David Burford married Brenda Chenault.

I don't have a picture of her.

Children of David Burford and Brenda Chenault are:

iv. David Allen Burford, Jr., born 02 September 1980.

v. Robert Lee Burford, born 28 July 1981.

I don't have pictures, and I don't have any further information about David's marriages.

(Feel free to share with me any information you have.)

David Allen Burford died 03 January 2013 in Illinois.

The only documentation I have is the Social Security Death Index. I do not have a picture of his grave.

I have possible documentation that Brenda Burford died 13 March 2011....???

The closer I get to the current generation, the harder it is to find documentation. In most of my record-keeping I don't go beyond my grandparents' generation -- which would be Bernice and Dorothy's generation. I usually don't go into the more current progeny, those who may still be living. I've been doing a little more digging for the Burford relatives, just because I don't know as much about them as I do about the Hicks/Arnold/Carters -- and because I have joined a Facebook group comprised of the current generation of Burfords, mostly Bernice and Dorothy's offspring, who can give me some up-to-date insights. I sure do appreciate them!
