	I have received conflicting information concerning the Mary Burrus of Spotsylvania County.  If anyone has documented evidence of a marriage to Clements Burruss, please let me know. Other sources, including Rev. Douglas, have stated Mary to be the wife of Edmund Burruss of Orange County, Va.  A clarification would be appreciated.
