General Notes: Husband - Philip Gresham Granddison BURFORD
==========================================================================================

The county boundaries in southeast Arkansas changed quite a bit from the time the
Burfords arrived until Philip died. Rather than moving around, the county lines changed
around him.

General Notes: Wife - Tabitha TANKERSLEY
==========================================================================================

She may have been born in Tennessee.

Although I can't document this, I think your Tabitha was probably the daughter of Rowland
Tankersley and Clarissa Wade, whose family had apparently moved from South Carolina to
Tennessee between 1810 and 1820. Rowland and Clarissa are said to have had a daughter
Tabitha who was born about 1793, and Rowland also had an older sister named Tabitha. (I
also wonder whether the Ronald Burford in your lineage could actually have been Rowland
Burford.)
     Contrary to the widely accepted (but incorrect) version of the Tankersley lineage,
which claims that Rowland was the son of an earlier Rowland Tankersley, Tabitha's father
Rowland was the son of Richard Tankersley and his wife Winnifred. This is the same
Richard Tankersley who is identified in the traditional lineage as the husband of
Elizabeth Fountain. The original source (an 1893 genealogy by Charles W. Tankersley)
claims that Richard died in 1748, but in fact I've been able to trace his journey through
Virginia and into upper South Carolina, where he was still alive as late as 1797.
     As I said, I can't prove it, but it might be worth further research.

   This is Philip GG's son and pretty much confirms Tabitha as dau of Rowland and
Clarissa Wade Tankersley...take care. [Larry McCutchen]
