I am a descendant of the Burgess/Henderson families on my mother's side; Grandfather:George Wallace Burgess & great-grandparents George Robertson Reeves/Jane Moore Reeves. Grandmother Mary Elizabeth 'Molly' Henderson. Great-Grandfather William Marion Henderson & Great-Grandmother Minnie Estella Gudgel. I have found some information from the Burgess side of the family. SurNames include Reeves/Bean/Bain/MacBean from Scotland.
On my father's side, I am a descendent of the Maples/Irby families. I have found descendents going back to 1451 Ireland on the Irby side & England/Ireland/Scotland ancestry. The Maples side of the family are descendants of England, I think.
