• Notes

  Mary Helen Haines notes: There are no marriage records of a Burress, Burriss, etc. to Rhoda; however it now appears she had two children around 1805 that she gave up in 1810 to William Smith. So, who is the likely Burress father? There is a James Burress born Ap. 1807 who married Mary Francis Neal and appears to be neighbors. So, if a Burress is the father of James B. McFarland, it could be James Burress' father, who family trees claim as Micajah. However this Micajah was born in 1777 in Bedford Co. VA, was living in Montgomery Co. VA in the 1810 census. In 1820 he was in Lebanon of Russell Co. VA. However, there are other Burress's in the area. One name that shows up is a William Burriss of Tazewell Co. that sells 200 acres on Sept. 26, 1806 to a Henry Stump. Book 1, p. 275. In the 1840 census there is a Jacob Stump (age 30 to 40, prob. son of Henry) on same page as William Smith Esq. (the person who took in Rhoda McFarland's two children in 1810). A Henry Stump in the 1850 census is living in the Western District of Tazewell next to Kinders, Archibald Thompson. In 1820 census for Tazewell Co. there is an Alexr Barris, over 45. There is a Thomas Barris, age 26-44, and John Barus with 2 males 26-44. There is no separate census for Tazewell Co. in 1810. The residents are in the Wythe Co. census. However I did not find any Burress in those.
