Date: 97-06-23 06:08:49 EDT From: waddie@earthlink.net (Waddie) Hi Nyla and old and new cuzins, It's been a while since I did this so figured I would for the benefit of all the new Burnett researchers. I have ALL my Burnett info I have compiled located on my home page. Soon I plan on adding more bits and pieces I have collected. I'll let everyone know when I do. If anyone can connect to my Burnett line at any point, PLEASE let me know. If you have questions, additional information, corrections, etc., again PLEASE let me know. DO YOU HAVE A HOME PAGE and are researching Burnett? Let me know this too so I may create a link to it. Thanks yall, Cuzin Waddie Waddie Salmon SALMON FAMILY TREE http://www.geocities.com/Heartland/3348/ Salmon - Burnett - Mason - Sowell Carwile - Hudson ICQ #1198171 =================================== Subj: TURNER Date: 97-06-23 11:35:21 EDT From: BekahAnn I am looking for Wilbur TURNER. He is the father of my Great-grandmother Nellie Mae TURNER. Per Nellie's death certificate she was born in WV on 14 Aug. 1891 to Wilbur Turner and Mae STONE. A request for a birth certificate for Nellie, Wilbur and Mae from the State of WV met with negative results. A cousin who is also researching this line received a letter from West Virginia Culture and History Center stating there is a birth record for a Nella M. Turner born 14 August 1892 (not 1891) in Kanawha Co. She was born at Winifrede which was the residence of her father, W.H. Turner. He was a miner. The mother's name was not given although the record says that the mother gave the birth information. According to family members, Wilbur and Mae stayed in WV (near Charleston) where they died (by 1908). Request for Death Certificates also met with negative results. Nellie Mae removed to Wellsville, OH where she married. She later moved to Cleveland, OH where she died in 1967. Her husbands include: Wilber NEWLEN, Herbert SALT, and William FOSTER. She outlived all three. Does anyone have any information on this family? I sure could use some help.

Hughes) Nyla: I'm glad you are back on line. Hope you are feeling "at home" by now. I have some comments regarding the "Confusing Thomas family info" thread in recent compilations. The family gets more confusing. Matthew, not Martha, was the child born to Adam and Mary Turner on 22 May 1801 according to the Adam Turner Bible. My cousin has the Bible and has sent me photographs. There are only 3 legible handwritten pages. Only births seem to be written on the photographs I have, no marriages or deaths are listed. I don't know how the confusion started. As far as we know, the Bible has not been seen by anyone other than my cousin and my aunt (now deceased) in the last 40 or 50 years. I spoke with O. E. Pilson about the Bible before I located it and he said that my aunt had invited him over to see the Bible, but she died before he had the change to go. So, he never saw it. The Bible is in poor condition. I have a handwritten letter from my aunt written in the early 1970's listing the children and the list agrees with the photographs. I posted the names and dates in Compilation #70. Adam and Mary had 11 children--Batsey (Betsy), John, Pollay, Francis, Ester (Easter), Sallay (Sally), Matthew, Adam, Ganay (Jane), Diack (Richard) and Nancay (Nancy). Polley Turner, 20 May 1827, is the daughter of Francis Turner, Jr. Adam Turner, Jr. had a daughter named Judith who according to O. E. Pilson was born CA 1833. Judey Turner, 4 Apr 1832, may be the daughter of Adam Turner, Jr. I do not know yet who the parents were for Paggia (Peggy), Patsey and William Green Turner. Perhaps someone out there has some documentation that will shed some light on these three. ==================================== Subj: Burnett Date: 97-06-23 21:49:09 EDT From: jerrylou@cyberhighway.net (Jerry Lou Patterson) CC: cyberhighway.net@aol.com Nyla, Some one asked about a Burnett reunion. A group of the members of the House of Burnett meet at the Pleasanton Highland Game held in Pleasanton, CA. every Labor Day Week end. I have drawn a Family Tree of the Burnett using the information from June Bork Book. It gives you a picture of how we a related. I represent the House of Burnett in the Southwest part of the United States. I met Ricky Lane Burnett in Costa Mesa and started him on the quest for his ancestors. His Burnett's come from the North. My Husband and I orginally started out to compile a book of all the information we could find on the Burnetts. I have several Volumes of information, but they are only indexed by state. I still have two mysteries in my Family of Burnetts that I have not solved. I still haven't located my Grandfathers Brother, James William Burnett. He left Texas, went to Arizona and worked as a Teamster in the mines there. I found him listed on the pay roll for the Mammoth Mines back in 1902, he never collected his pay. We do not know where he is Buried. He supposedly never married. There is another member of my family that doesn't fit, A Doctor James Burnett, list on the 1850 Censuses as an Uncle born in Tennessee. He was a Doctor. I have found him listed on a Census in Missouri, but I can't seem to connect him to any Burnett family in Tennessee. Also I have found a Tate Group that is sharing info via the internet. I'm related to Elizabeth Tate that married John Burnett Sr., born in 1761, they are the parents of Cornelius Burnett born in 1780. Jerry Lou (Burnett) Patterson ============================ Subj: Burnette's Date: 97-06-23 22:34:08 EDT From: KarenWood Nyla, I am trying to find two Burnette's who married two Jackson sisters, in either Bedford, Campbell or Pittsylvania Co. It's hard to say, but I'd bet on Pittsylvania. Their father, Francis H. Jackson and mother Sarah A. Hamlett Jackson were married in Charlotte Co, in 1846, were in Campbell Co in 1860 census as "overseer" for brother in law William St. John (m. Elizabeth Hamlett), and in Bedford as a Farmer in 1870. Daughters of Francis (frank) Jackson and Sarah Hamlett were Frances E. (Mary Fannie) Jackson b. 19 Jan 1854 m. A. B. Burnette, probably about 1870, I'd guess Pitts. Co, VA Sarah A. Jackson b. 20 Mar 1862 Campbell Co, VA m. James C. Burnette, prob abt 1878-80 in Pittsylvania co. or nearby. Their brother Raliegh Jackson bought the "Pocket" farm near Hurt on the bend of the Stanton River that juts into Campbell and Halifax Co. ANYONE recognize James C. Burnette or A.B. Burnette. I'd like to find descendants to see if they can unravel Jackson mystery. Have lots to share on maternal lines, but can't get past Francis Jackson's father, Ralph T. Jackson m. Polly Harvey. Also like to know who the Burnett's are.

I am looking for information about: Joseph Burnett Moore, born at Fannin, TX in 1852 died after 1900. His parents were Robert Moore (1813-1881), who was born in TN, who married Mary Alsbrooks (1815-1928) born either in SC or TN.

The URL for the Burnett/Turner/Via/Ross/Etc page is: http://www-personal.umich.edu/~cgaunt/etc/etc.html So far we have not gotten very sophisticated with the web site - there aren't any gedcoms to download, nor are there linked trees, something I think would enhance the site. I've just not had time to instigate it, which is why I'm Cc'ing my reply to Nyla, so she can include it in the next compilation. But you are very welcome to send me your file in whatever format you have, for download from the site. What I'd like to do is create one big database with the info we've gotten so far, and note the conflicting info, but I just don't have the time to enter the data. (Too many pots on the stove still - I've got a big backlog of web sites to add to Genealogy Resources on the Internet.) Once the data has been entered in a genealogy database, it can be put on the web site as linked html files.

In a book "Gone to GA" there is information that Edward Turner in the 1820 GA Census was "perhaps" of the Terisha and Sarah Turner line "by way of " Pendleton Dist. SC. I believe that the father of my Edward b c 1778 in SC was a William Turner. I would like to know if the William, son of "Old" Terisha could be this person. Do you have a listing of this William Turner's children? Thank you.

I must say I enjoy receiving the compilations from you and am hoping that one of these days something will happen to turn up. I've a little more information than the first time I wrote, but unfortunately not much! We are decendants of the Kentucky Burnetts (Burnette) that no one seems to know much about!! Including us! As I wrote before my great grandfather was Bruce Burnett, born in Rockcastle, Ky., in 1868, died 11-16-1933 in Richmond, Ky. Madison Co. He married a Mattie ?, when?. She was born 1872 & died 1895. They had two children, Clay & Nancy Burnett. He married 2nd, Nannie Crowley (Crawley), b.5-18-1877, Madison Co. Ky., d. 4-29-1960 in Lexington, Ky., Fayette Co. MOTHER: no records, FATHER: Crawley. Bruce and Nannie Burnett's children were Jerry, (my grandfather), Caywood, Joe Edward, Charlotte and two other daughters, one possibly named Lottie. We've since learned that Bruce's parents names were, Jerry and Charlotte Baker Burnett both born in Rockcastle, Ky. We're guessing birth dates of these two to be anywhere from 1830's to 1840's. We'd like to find out more about Jerry and Charlotte Baker Burnett, parents, other children besides our Bruce, ect. I know with all those Burnetts down there in Va. & Ky. we have to fit in someplace!! Do you suppose that Jerry could have been short for Jeremiah? We heard a story that three Burnett brothers migrated from back east and two settled in the Kentucky area and one went on down to Texas. Does anyone know about this story? I would be ever so grateful if anyone out there know ANYTHING about these Burnetts!!! Thank you, and keep up the good work!!
