Looking for information on Susanna Whitley who married Joshua C. Burris (b. 1819 in Ablemarle). They had 4 children, Caroline, Sarah Elizabeth, Alexander Whitley, and William Rufus (my GG Grandfather). I've found many Whitleys from Stanly Cty, but no mention of Susanna, and who her parents were.

Thanks in advance,

Kerry Flanagan
