Notes:

Perhaps they both died in a short amount of time? Perhaps she remarried and I just can't find her. Mary was living with her aunt and uncle by 1870 and Ella was with same aunt in 1880. Perhaps she died when Ella was born.

The county boundaries in southeast Arkansas changed quite a bit from the time the Burfords arrived until Philip died. Rather than moving around, the county lines changed around him.

Philip married Tabitha TANKERSLEY about 1822 in , Bedford, Tennessee, USA. Tabitha (daughter of Rowland TANKERSLEY and Clarissa WADE) was born about 1805; died about 1848 in , Drew, Arkansas, USA. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

13.

Tabitha TANKERSLEY was born about 1805 (daughter of Rowland TANKERSLEY and Clarissa WADE); died about 1848 in , Drew, Arkansas, USA.

Notes:

She may have been born in Tennessee.

Although I can't document this, I think your Tabitha was probably the daughter of Rowland Tankersley and Clarissa Wade, whose family had apparently moved from South Carolina to Tennessee between 1810 and 1820. Rowland and Clarissa are said to have had a daughter Tabitha who was born about 1793, and Rowland also had an older sister named Tabitha. (I also wonder whether the Ronald Burford in your lineage could actually have been Rowland Burford.)
Contrary to the widely accepted (but incorrect) version of the Tankersley lineage, which claims that Rowland was the son of an earlier Rowland Tankersley, Tabitha's father Rowland was the son of Richard Tankersley and his wife Winnifred. This is the same Richard Tankersley who is identified in the traditional lineage as the husband of Elizabeth Fountain. The original source (an 1893 genealogy by Charles W. Tankersley) claims that Richard died in 1748, but in fact I've been able to trace his journey through Virginia and into upper South Carolina, where he was still alive as late as 1797.
As I said, I can't prove it, but it might be worth further research.
