Person:Mary Burch (17)

The Birch book, pg 9, says that Lizzie married a Hurst and that her sister Sue H. also married a Hurst. The rootsweb chart of Thomas D. Stanley Jr. has the names of the two Hurst men. This chart says that Hossey Hurst married a Mary Ellen Burch. I have found Mary E. on the 1880 census and am making the assumption that her name was Mary Elizabeth, not Mary Ellen. This would fit with the nickname of Lizzie.

Email from Jack Hendrick verifies that her name was Mary Elizabeth, and gives the following dates: birth: 9 Feb 1855 death: 27 Sep 1897 Find-a-grave site has her birth unknown and death 27 Sep 1897. This site also says the inscription on her stone (not shown) is died 42yrs, 7 mos, 20 days which would give a calculated birth date of 7 Feb 1855.
