A big welcome to our new folks and a welcome back to Ann. (Ann, I apologize again for deleting your address.) Folks, be sure to check out all our compilations on Chris Gaunt's home page. All the files have been zipped and can be downloaded thanks to Kevin. Nyla ======================= Subj: Burnett, William d before 1772 in Henry CoVA Date: 97-08-13 11:26:42 EDT From: Witt Bates@aol.com Seeking parentage of William Burnett, dec'd before April 1772. He was associated somehow with the Harbour and Witt of Henry CoVA. For example, William Burnett and David Witt had a joint land patent (Patent Book 33 page 27) for 627 acres on S. Fork of Goblintown Cr. in what is now Patrick CoVA. However, David Witt sold both halves of the Patent, 313 acres to David Harbour (son of Elijah) in 1772, and 313 acres to John Stamps in 1785. Further, Henry CoVA Deed Book IV, indicates that William Burnett had a Harbour connection: On 23 April 1772, SAMUEL ALLEN acknowledged receipt from TALMON HARBOUR of sixteen pounds (and change) "in full of the estate of WILLIAM BURNETT, deceased." FOLLOW-ON TO THE ABOVE ENTRY 16 YEARS LATER IN 1788: In regard to the above entry, there was a Bond posted (Henry CoVA Deed Book IV page 447) and proved on 15 August 1788 which states that "The condition of the above obligation is such that the said THOMAS CUMMINGS and JOHN HENDERSON shall keep and forever maintain the said TALMON HARBOUR and his heirs secure against all persons who shall hereafter make any lawful claim against the estate of WILLIAM BURNETT, deceased." My ancestor John Witt (son of David Witt d1808 & Sarah Harbour) was witness to this bond. Seek information in regard to the above WILLIAM BURNETT (deceased before April 1772) to include advice as to his connection to the Harbour and Witt of the area.

Hughes) Nyla, I will get the missed ones from Chris' home page. I surely don't want to be removed. I have developed a good way to save the compilations, certainly not unique, but it works for me. I save them directly to WordPerfect where I edit them to include just the names and the genealogy information, then I save them to a floppy and print them out in small point type with small margins back to back. I was running out of storage space...... This takes a bit more time up front, but saves both time and paper in the end. Thanks again for the work you do. Ann =========================== Subj: Turner update Date: 97-08-13 12:33:24 EDT From: rockhound@juno.com (Ann Martin) I am still here waiting - hoping that someone will recognize my Turner family in Pendleton county, Kentucky late 1700's early 1800. Some family names are John A., Lucinda John J., James, Henry Clay, Nancy, Frank(Franklin), Wm. T.,Thomas J. Parents came from Virginia?? A descendant of above was living in Wyandotte Co, Kansas in 1893 - John J and Susan Turner. Other Turners in Pendleton County Ky same dates as above were George, William and John, other after 1810 were Francis, Thomas J., James. Any help appreciated. Ann ======================= Subj: Re: Comp 179 - Burnett-Turner-Ross-Via-Etc/Etc Date: 97-08-13 21:30:54 EDT From: anhughes@palmnet.net (Ann N. Hughes) To: NCreed1@aol.com Nyla and David, This message is in response to Comp 179 and the Allied Families of VA, Inc. When O.E. Pilson took me and my husband to see the Allied Families pavalion in May of 1995, I took a picture of the dedication plaque on the building. It lists only 15 families--Andreson, Burnett, Corn, Hatcher, Houchins, Pedigo, Pendleton, Pilson, Ross, Stovall, Turner, Wood, Via, Jamison, and Price. I assume the other two you mention, David, have been added since I have been there. Could you post the names of the new families, please? Ann ======================= Subj: REUNION SUGGESTION Date: 97-08-14 06:12:19 EDT From: waddie@earthlink.net (waddie) Hi Cuzins! I have a suggestion here. A few weeks or so ago a Burnette cuzin on this list posted a note about a Burnette Family Reunion here in Virginia. As I'm always curious about Burnett/e I emailed her, we compared a few notes and I looked at her home page of Burnette. SURE ENOUGH, there it was! A firm connection way back to our 2nd generation of Burnett here in America. Two sons of John Burnett I. I was EXCITED! As it was an open invitation for us decendants of John Burnett's line to attend the reunion, I went and drove the 3 1/2 hours across the Blue Ridge Parkway to the reunion. I met two cuzins there, both doing genealogy and had all there stuff with them as I did. We each had TONS of information that the other didn't have! It was FUN!!!! I also got to meet and talk with LOTS and LOTS of kin folk there. Of course they were the nicest people in the world! THEY ARE BURNETT/E's. Bottom line here is and my suggestion: If you get a chance to go to a reunion such as I did, GO!!!!! Don't make no difference if you know them personaly or not. If they are kin you can bet there are some there also doing the research and looking for YOU! Take care, Waddie Waddie "Bos'n Mate" Salmon Visit my Home Page at: http://www.geocities.com/Heartland/3348/ Researching - Salmon, Burnett, Mason, Carwile, Husdon, Sowell and Sprouse ========================== Waddie, I've never been to a BURNETT reunion. But I can speak first hand about TURNER reunions. I love reunions. I may not know the cousins when I get there, but I'll know them before I leave. One thing about cousins, you can pick and choose the ones that you want to claim as kin. Nyla =================================== Subj: Elizabeth Turner and Cynthia Turner Date: 97-08-14 07:25:01 EDT From: anhughes@palmnet.net (Ann N. Hughes) In getting organized to get back into genealogy, going through files, making corrections, and entering data, I went through my notes on my last trip to PCVA in May of 1995. Regarding the ongoing the controversy over the maiden name of Elizabeth Turner, wife of Francis Turner, Sr., O. E. Pilson comment to me as we were standing at the graves of Francis Turner, Jr. and wife Nancy that he suspects her name was Elizabeth Lackey. O. E. has tremendous credability due to his very responsible research work. I assume this conclusion was deduction or he would have cited a source. I have been searching for some time now for the wife and the parents of Isaiah Turner b. 1770, father of Cynthia Turner [1794-1827]. Cynthia Turner married of Lewis (Lou) Turner 5 May 1817 in Franklin County, VA (Franklin Ct Mar Records list marriage and that she is dau of Isaiah Turner). Cynthia and Lewis Turner are buried in the Lewis Turner Hardin Hall Cemetery.They are my gggrandparents on my grandfather's paternal side [Alvah Jeremiah Turner]. As to Isaiah Turner's wife, Frieda Clark Cannaday states in The Cannaday Family of Virginia and West Virginia, 1988, that an Isaiah Turner married Elizabeth Cannaday on 9 Dec 1797, but this were my Isaiah it would be three years after Cynthia's birth. Frieda doesn't say what county and the Marriages of PCVA by Adams doesn't include them. Frieda also says that no records for B & D dates for Elizabeth have been found in Patrick or Franklin Cts. As to the parents of Isaiah Turner, J. D. Turner stated at one point that there were three Turner families in PCVA--Francis, Shadrack, and ?(I don't have his letter in front of me at this moment, but I don't believe Isaiah was listed as progenitor. I'll check.). I'd appreciate any clues as to Isaiah's wife and/or parents please.
