Profiles Mentioned:

Findagrave.com shows Dovie Ellen Love 11/19/1852-07/18/1926 & Hiram Burris 01/14/1850-03/02/1910. This eliminates them as parents since Solomon was born 1754. However, Some descendants have stated there were three brothers: James Burris, Joshua Burris, and Solomon Burris (1754-1845). .According to Solomon Burris' affidavit made years later, his family lived in Anson County but about 1776 his father moved to Bertie County. Hertford County was formed from Bertie, Chowan, and Northampton counties in 1759. Joshua’s father is shown as James Jacob Burriss/Burress/Burrus/Burrows/Boroughs (died 1768). The birth year of Solomon has been shown as 1752 but he signed an affidavit after the Revolutionary War as a veteran that he was born 1754.
