I have gathered info from here and there this is what I have on my family tree. Please check it out with any info you have and see if it is right , thanks. I went to the Gathering of the Clans at Grandfather Mountain in N.C. we had a great time and got info on the Chief of The House of Burnett and info on ordering taran and other thing for Burnett, if you would like them. Val The Burnett Family Tree Burnetts originally they were an Anglo-Saxon family, first heard of living in Arlesey, Bedfordshire before 1066. They moved up to the Scottish border country along with a number of Norman English families like the Bruces and Frasers during the reign of David 1. They settled amongst other places at Gordon, a village which gave its name to another great family who were shortly, like the Burnetts, to move to north-east Scotland. The first of the Deeside Burnards, or Burnetts as they were later called, was Alexander, a follower of Robert the Bruce, who rewarded him with an estate at Banchory and the post of Royal Forester of Drum. Legend has it that he received as his badge of office 'The Horn of Leys' This beautifully carved ivory horn, decorated with gilt metal bands and semi-precious stones, still hangs in the castle. For the next 250 years the Burnetts lived on the small artificial island fort or crannog on the Loch of Leys, the fortunes of the family rose slowly. Robert was a deputy sheriff of Kincardine and is believed to have fought for the king against the island rebels in the bloody battle of Harlaw just twenty miles to the north. His son Alexander was rewarded with Banchory as a free barony for fighting for the unpopular James 111, who was defeated and murdered by rebels only three months later. But it was one of Alexander's younger sons, Canon Burnett of St. Machar's Cathedral, Aberdeen, who established the important church connection which was to loft the Burnetts to a new level of wealth and prosperity. The unfortunate Canon was beaten to death in his own cathedral during the early period of violence against the Catholic Church, but he established an important relationship between the wealthy Abbey of Arbroath. One of his more worldly colleagues, Canon Hamilton, had despite his priestly vows produced a daughter for whom he was anxious to provide. In 1543 a marriage was arranged between the canon's daughter, Janet Hamilton, and Alexander Burnett of Leys, and as her dowry she brought a substantial area of church land. The Burnetts suddenly found themselves a much wealthier family. Five years after the death of Beaton, Alexander and Janet Burnett, already with six children, decided they needed and could afford a better home than the water-logged island of Leys. Crathes Castle took forty years to build; there must have been many delays for this was the time of troubles during the reign of Mary, Queen of Scots. Alexander had to fight in her army under the Earl of Moray at the battle of Corrichie in 1562, just a couple of miles to the north on the Hill of Fare. St. Nicholas Parish Church is the closest church to Crathes Castle and was the church most visited by the Burnetts of Leys. Some of the following dates and names were taken from the St. Nicholas Parish Church records. Robert Burnett was christened at St. Nicholas Parish Church in 1516. He married his first cousin Sara Johnston. The Burnett Clan and the Johnson Clan where allies and often married into one another. Robert and Sara had children one son John, our ancestor. John Burnett was christened at St. Nicholas Parish Church in 1548. He married is cousin Isabel Johnston in 1574.

But have no more info on this family sorry. ================== Subj: Turner - Foster - Witt of Henry/Patrick CoVA 0Date: 97-07-15 22:54:42 EDT From: Witt Bates To: NCreed1 CC: WmRVincent Descendants of Witt that originated in Henry & Patrick CoVA have given names of Turner and Foster. We know that Charles Foster, son of Mark Foster, married a Turner and Charles Foster lived near John Witt b ca 1750. Charles Witt b1775 in Henry CoVA, son of John Witt and grandson of David Witt & Sarah Harbour, had son named Charles "Foster" Witt And his brother William Witt b1776 had a son named William "Turner" Witt. William Witt married Lucinda Reeves, daughter of George Reeves, in Patrick CoVA in 1799. William Witt & Lucy Reeves moved to Franklin CoTN Does anybody know of connection that would trigger given names of "Foster" and "Turner" in descendants of John Witt b ca 1750 in what is now Henry CoVA? The conjecture is that he married a FOSTER as 1st wife and then Dicey Holland in 1783 ans 2nd wife. Appreciate any clues to possible Turner-Foster-Witt connection Wayne Witt Bates =============== Subj: Turners Date: 97-07-16 00:50:04 EDT From: shansen@cyberhighway.net (Sandra Hansen) Reply-to: shansen@cyberhighway.net To: NCreed1@AOL.COM Dear Nyla, Am uncertain of proper netiquette. ***** I find in your great newsletters interesting Bedford, VA, TURNER information.

The counties are as follows: Caroline, Charles City, Culpeper, Essex, Fairfax, Goochland, Halifax, Henrico, Isle of Wight, King George, King & Queen, Orange, Prince Georges, Southampton, Spotsylvania and Westmoreland. Chris will have the file loaded soon. Now as to a personal Inquiry. My Turner's are desended from James Turner who Married Kerrenhappach Norman. Kerrenhappach means horn of Beauty. I had originally thought it was probably an Indian name, but have subsequently found out that it is from the book of JOBE. What I am trying to find out is who were her sons. I know that one of them was named James Jr. I am reasonably sure that this is the same James that was governor of N.C. Kerrenhappach was a modern day Clara Barton of the Revolutionary War. A monument was erected to her at Gilfords Courthouse. The DAR records do not identify her other sons. I am trying to find out who they are. I Have Written N.C. Archives concerning this, but without success. Your help would be appreciated. By the way James Sr was originally from Halifax Co. Va. ==================== Subj: Turner List Date: 97-07-17 20:13:33 EDT From: rockhound@juno.com (Ann Martin) To: NCReed1@AOL.Com Hello Nyla: I understand that you have a Turner list serve.
