BURRUS & MARTIN Families - VA, TN, MO & others,,,,,

Classification: Query
Surnames: BURRUS - BURRIS - MARTIN
Can anyone help with these families to clarify & correct family records?

My BURRUS/Burris & MARTIN family members originate in the NC, TN, VA, areas; later relocated to MO aprx. 1830 - 1840 time frames; possibly earlier. Not sure of migration route prior to locating in MO areas; other than TN, VA, possibly AR or others.

My "Isaac BURRUS", born Bet. 1770-1780, Albermarle County, VA, and "Nancy (Martin) BURRUS", were 'Parents' of "Frances An/Ann BURRUS/Burris", born aprx. 1811, Overton County, TN.

Note - Two (2) Marriages for Isaac Burrus/Burris are:

Marriage #1 - "Isaac Burrus/Burris", born 1770-1780, VA, married 1892, in Albermarle County, VA, to "Frances Ferguson", born 1766, Cumberland County, KY; daughter of William Ferguson. Two daughters born to this union; one died early years in a home fire. Isaac Burrus/Burris signed papers to have "Thomas Burrus/Burris", as Exec. of Estate to handle affairs to collect inheritance of daughter since he was living in another state - it is presumed this was during the time after the death of his 1st wife, Frances Ferguson.

Marriage #2 - "Isaac Burrus/Burris", born 1770-1780, VA, married 1810, in Overton County, TN, to "Nancy Martin". There were apprx. 11-children born to this union.

1. "Frances An/Ann Burrus/Burris", born 1811, Overton County, TN, married "James Martin", born apprx. 1800/1805, NC - in County which later became part of TN - thought to possibly be a part of Smith County before it became part of TN; not sure of the 'original county name while part of NC'. Date & location of 'their marriage unknown'; possibly in TN, since their first 2-children are shown as being born in TN, on the 1850 Census, Newton County, MO, as such. This family arrived in S.W. MO area as early as 1830, according to MO Census Records. The remainder of their children were born in MO, according to later Census Records.

"James Martin" born 1800/1805, NC, is last found on the MO Census Records in 1860; "Frances An/Ann (Burrus/Burris) Martin, born 1811, TN, is last found on the MO 1870 Census Records.

Can anyone help with information on these families - i.e. 'their Marriage Date & Location; the 'Parents' of "James Martin" who was born in NC/TN? I have their children & family members from MO Census Records 1830-1870.
