Focusing mainly on the Burrises of Amite County, Mississippi, andthe Florida Parishes of Louisiana, this examination offers a mother lode ofinformation for genealogists researching the Burris line, which may includesuch family names variations as Burroughs, Burrows, Burrus, Burruss, Burress,and Burriss. Much more than a tale of who begat whom, this volume provideshelpful insight into the nature of the family.By their fellow men, the Burrises are usually highly regarded.They are considered reliable, trustworthy, and honest. They also are known fortheir fair play. One of the highest tributes the author ever heard paid theircharacter came from a former district attorney, who remarked that, whenever hehad a case to come before a jury and there were Burris men present, he alwaysaccepted them without a single question.
