died while Linza was young and some of the family moved to Tippah Co. Linza
moved to Navarro Co., TX in 1854 where he married Sarah J. Scott in 1869

I am doing a search of my family history. I am looking for info on
Lewis Burrow of the Brush Creek Community of the Tippah/Alcorn area. I
do not know his wife's name, but he had a daughter named Celia/Celie Burrow,
who married Giles Preston Parish in ~1868/1870. Thank you for any information.
