  • Notes 
    • They are on the 1850  census of Pike county Alabama.  Sarah, and their child, Eliza (aged either 22 or 27, writing unclear).  They moved to Austin county, Texas.  Burrell's children are all on the Alabama census in 1850 and soon after (ca 1854) settled in Austin county, Texas, traveling through Indianola, Texas.  His son James and most of his children are buried in Weimar with many of the REES family.  Family lore says they had 11 children.
