My question involves George Washington Williams b. 18 August 1860 in Travis County, Texas. It appears that his mother was Frances Jane Pierce Williams b. 1840 in Georgia d. 1896 in Travis County, Texas. Some accounts indicate that George Washington Williams was born to a Mr. Burleson and Ms Pierce. Later Ms Pierce married my g g grandfather Evan Williams in Travis County,, Texas circa 1860. Thereafter George Washington Williams (Burleson?) was adopted (probably unofficially) into the Evan Williams family and was thereafter known as George Washington Williams. I would like any information about Mr. (fnu) Burleson the putative farther of George Washington Williams.
