Biography
Alice was born in 1858. Alice was the daughter of Abner Goodson and Elizabeth Harris. Alice died in 1902. [1]
Alice married Christopher Columbus Burgin on July 27, 1877 in McDowell County, North Carolina. In a later typed record it is recorded as October 25, 1874 which is most likely incorrect due to the hand written marriage record from 1877 stating date and individual who married them was on July 27, 1877. [2][3]
In 1880 Alice and Columbus were living in Crooked Creek, McDowell County, North Carolina. Alice was 21 years of age and had one child at that time. [4]
