General Notes: Husband - Findley Burwell

---

At the age of six, he and his sister Hannah were bound to Mr. William Shellito. Five years later his parents secured their release by paying eighty dollars. While with Mr. Shellito he was deprived of the privilege of attending school and had to put up with a great many hardships and very harsh treatment. After his father died he became the main support of the family. The farm being new and covered with timber, it required a great deal of labor to clear the land and prepare it for cultivation, and he proved himself equal to the task. After becoming of age he leased the farm from his mother for a few years and later on bought it. He was married to Miss Sarah Fonner, in a log schoolhouse, on Sunday after church services. After his marriage, he became a member of the Meth­odist church, and in turn held all the different offices of the church, and was a constant official member as long as he was able to attend to official duties.
