Aness, wife of James Dillard BURGESS, as on her headstone, is Agnes Aness/Aniss CANNON according to many researchers.
Curiously, on the 1927 death certificate of her son, James Madison BURGESS,she is named as "Annie BROOKS." She was first listed as BURGESS, lined out, and BOONE entered underneath. The informant was L. L. BURGESS of Berlin, Georgia, who was also the undertaker. This is the only record or research this compiler has seen that lists BOONE as Aness BURGESS' maiden name. Interestingly, Aness' son, William Wesley BURGESS, married Susan C. BOONE on 25 July 1857 in Thomas County, Georgia. Their maiden surnames may have been confused by the informant in 1927. Other research consistently lists her as the daughter of Archibald CANNON, Jr., and Mary CRIBBS. [Did Agnes Aness "Annie" Burgess possibly remarry before her death in 1883?]
NOTE: Posted research has variances in dates and places of events in Aness' life. Other than the BOONE maiden name anomaly, they generally agree that Agnes Aness CANNON married James Dillard BURGESS about 1831 in Dooly County, Georgia.
The family of Aness and Dillard is enumerated in the 1840 census. Names inserted are not in the census itself but matched to age ranges from other sources.

The housholds of Josiah, age 70-80, Robert, age 20-30, William, age 20-30, and S. T., age 30-40, BURGESS are in close proximity.
In 1850, Aness, 37, and Dillard, 42, are in Sumter County, Georgia with six children: William, 17; Mary, 16; Samantha, 11; John, 9; James, 6; and Stephen, 3.
Next door are John W. and Mary CANNON, age 24 and 21, and their two daughters. Two homes away is Osborne BAKER, 20, in the home of James BAKER, 27. Osborne would marry Aness and Dillard's daughter Mary on 10 November 1850.
By 1860, Aness, age 45, and family are in Thomasville, Thomas County, Georgia. Two more children, Robert, 10, and Jane, 5, are in the family.
