Monroe Co.Alabama Norris's (Burrel & Effy McLeod)
Posted by: Sherry Bloodsworth (ID *****0230) Date: July 11, 2008 at 12:48:35
  of 6067

I have just stumbled across some Norris family burial sites that includes, Burrell Norris,Jr. and wife Effie McLeod, Barzilla Norris the daughter of Burrel"Birle" Norris and Nancy Irwin-Norris. Also it shows 29-33 that their are 5 crosses and unmarked graves in the Norris family plot. Could possibly be their father Burrel and Nancy and etc...Anyways, I wanted to share this find with the Norris family researchers who like me have been looking.
