  Married	20 Oct 1795	Montgomery Co. VA
  	Annals of southwest Virginia, 1769-1800 Mongtomery County VA, Minutes of the County Court 1777 to 1800 1795 Oct 20 Groom: Michajah Burress Bride: Rachel McCoy Miniter: Edw Morgan Virginia, Marriages, 1660-1800 Name: Rachel Mccoy Spouse: Micajah Burrus Marriage Date: 13 Oct 1795 Marriage Location: Montgomery County, Virginia [Note: this could be for the marriage bond, not when they were married.]
  Divorced	They separated between 1840 and 1850. Unsure if they had actually divorced. Rachel was living with her daughter in Pike Co. KY in 1850. By 1850 Micajah was living with Elizabeth Francis. In 1849 Micajah and Elizabeth were in court and fined for lewd behavior. After the estate sale in 1852 after Micajah's death Elizabeth is referred to the "Widow Burress." Since Rachel died in 1855, if Micajah married Elizabeth, he would have been a bigamist. More than likely Micajah and Elizabeth may have said they had married, but didn't in order to avoid more charges of lewd behavior of living together without being married. The 1850 Russell Co. Census shows Micajah and Elizabeth had children ages 12 to less than one year. Perhaps his affair with Elizabeth led to Rachel's moving in with her daughter in Pike County.
