Life

Amaryllis Perry was born about 1805 in North Carolina, according to the FamilySearch tree, which gives no source for her birth and records no parents; the tree also spells her given name Amaryliss, Amyrillis and Ameryllis.1 On 7 August 1859 she married William Whatley Carlisle, a widower since March of that year, in Chambers County, Alabama; every index entry for the marriage names her Amaryllis Burson, and a few give the date as 6 August, which is probably the day the licence was issued.2 Inference Since she married under the name Burson but the tree calls her Perry, Perry was probably her maiden name and Burson the surname of an earlier husband, though no record in hand shows a first marriage.3 The tree places her in Russell County, Alabama, in 1850, without an attached census record.4 The records disagree about her death.5 The tree gives it as 1863 at Opelika, Lee County, Alabama, and places her burial in the Carlisle-Burson Family Cemetery in Chambers County, but a user-supplied source carried into FamilySearch from older family files cites the census of 1870 for a death "after 1870" in Alabama.5 Inference Neither statement is backed by a record attached to her profile; an 1870 census entry for an Amaryllis Carlisle in Chambers or Lee County would decide between them.5 Her husband died at Opelika in 1883.6
