The author set out, many years ago, to compile the stories of his families’ oral history about the Burleson Family History and Heritage.
This published research for the past century had focused primarily on the Burleson descendants who lived in Stanly County of North Carolina.
These are the stories that weave in and out of decades of folklore, and remind us that our freedoms to live and worship in this great country came with a high cost to our ancestors. Whether it was braving the sickness and starvation at Jamestown as our ancestors did, the need to survive against the wild wolves and Native American Indians as our Burleson ancestors did in the first Connecticut Colony, the sacrifices that families made when their young men marched off on foot to the battlefields, as our early Burleson Ancestors did in the American Revolution, it was these hardships that our ancestors endured which remind us of their commitment and dedication to carve out a homeland full of hopes and dreams of freedom for their children.
This publish edition is of one such descendant, William (GrandPa Billie) Burleson who descends from Isaac Burleson Sr. a Veteran of the American Revolution, from the Stanly County area of North Carolina.
