In 1816 Aaron moved his family from Georgia to Mobile, AL., and in
1829 to Jackson Co. MS. where he died. Mary Ann joined the Church
in 1805 the same year of her marriage. She was said to be a devout
Christian woman and loved by all who knew her. She was known by the
Georgia and Alabama Conference, and her brother-in-law , the Rev.
Thomas Sanford(or Samford) of the Georgia Conference was ever most
dear to her. Mary Ann died 22 August, 1881 in Jackson Co. Ms., she
is buried beside her husband, and thought to be in the old graveyard
that was found years ago, when Mississippi Power began construction
of their plant located on highway 63 North in Jackson Co. This is
the location that the Burleson's lived. I made a request to see the
old grave yard but was told it was difficult to make your way to the
location, and some of the graves were destroyed by the bulldozer
before they realized it was a graveyard. Since this was private
property one could not go onto the site without an escort. Without
doubt all or many of the older Burleson's are buried there.
and probably the burial site for Aaron and Mary Ann Burleson.
Mary Ann was living in the household of her daughter Sarah, and son
in law, Ebenizer Clark when the 1850 Census was taken in Jackson Co.
