(found in 1860 AR census) Found in later census Rains County TX. 
Burwell and wife Nancy C Burleson are buried in Cottenwood Cemetery Wood Co TX.
With them are Harve Mac and wife.  Yes Harve Mac was a cousin to Peter and Nancy's children.
I have no documentation to prove this only from older generations...
Burwell and Nancy C died before the 1900 census and their children lived with different relatives.

Names from 1850 Census - a real mess! very hard to read, using Nick names and Phonetics
This family was consistant in using Names from their Siblings, Uncles and Grandparents families
I was able to patch most of the names and mis spellings, but noted others that don't make sense.
The 1850 Census transcribers mistakenly, listed WHITUS as WHITAS, in one online display.
Note also, that Peter Whitus and some of his brothers, changed their surname from Whitehurst,
Which goes back about 10 generations, who had all used WHITEHURST, until this time period.
I would guess 9 of the 10 Children, were born in Shelby County TN their last residence before TX
