If things on this list seems a little different, it's because we're in the middle of a survey. (Compilation #237 describes our survey.) So far, 83 folks have responded. That's about 43%. Let's hear from the remaining 57%. Nyla CREED DePauk San Diego CA ===================== Subj: Burnett Religion Date: 97-10-31 22:09:01 EST From: MartieLee Interesting observation that Gerald made - I had, in fact, noticed the same thing in my Burnett line for the past 4 generations. Several of the Burnetts in my line were Baptist ministers, and all of the Burnetts I have known in my family are or have been Baptists. My curiousity has also been piqued by the fact that the quite a few of my Burnett men (direct line as well as uncles) were also carpenters and grocery store owners. Marlene Lawley [descendant of John Burnett of Aberdeen, Scotland through John Burnett of Aberdeen, Mississippi] ======================== Subj: Burnett Tartan Date: 97-10-31 22:08:36 EST From: MartieLee Mary Shelton, You mentioned having gone to the Scottish Games in NC last year and wore the Burnett tartan, carried flag... I'm really interested in this. When are the games? What part of North Carolina? More importantly, where did you get the Burnett tartan and flag? I would dearly love to present something like that to my mother!! Especially the tartan! Thanks so much for any information you can give me. Marlene Lawley [LEE-LAWLEY-BURNETT] ================ Mary: Be sure to let all of us know the answers to Marlene's questions. Nyla ================ Subj: Re: Comp #238 - Burnett-Turner-Ross-Via-Etc/Etc Date: 97-10-31 21:55:03 EST From: newbet@txcyber.com (Elizabeth L. Smith) Well here is my contribution but I have to admit I didn't see David's request and haven't any idea what all the "snipping" is about. I'm Bette Smith and I'm about to turn in a few days. I also am about to publish a book about one of my Ancestors who was married to James Higgins Turner. My Burnett relatives were much easier to find than the Turners. I am the decendent of Glen Owens, who was one of the very first pioneers in Oregon and was the older brother of Peter Burnett, 1st Gov. of California. I am married, live in Bryan Texas, do and volunteer stuff. We have two children who are grown up (unless they are having a crisis :) ) and one adorable grand daughter and the best daughter in law in the world. We also have two Golden Retrievers named Bubba and Bandit. =========================== Bette: Maybe you didn't get Comp 237. I sent out Comp 240 today. I didn't get my copy. I know some folks got it, but I never did receive a copy. Sometimes I get error messages stating a particular person is not a known addressee. I'll send it again and it seems to go through (or at least it left my screen). Who knows for certain? Nyla ========================== Subj: The poll Date: 97-10-31 21:34:37 EST From: jeffhatfield@mail.del.net (Jeff Hatfield) Nyla and fellow researchers, My name is Jeff Hatfield and I fit at the lower end of the age group. I am a . I have been doing research for about 1 1/2 yrs and have been with this group for about a year. I am still stuck on Arthur Turner (1825-1900) who lived in north-central WV. I have enjoyed this list and hope to one day (soon) see Arthur in one of the postings. Jeff ======================= Jeff: What county in North Central WV? I hope you see Arthbur in one of our postings, also. Nyla ======================= Subj: Research Group Date: 97-10-31 21:19:45 EST From: madamx@trellis.net (Jeannie) I am doing heavy research in Patrick County. I am not sure whether or not I am qualified to join your group as I am not descended from any of the names you list in your etc. etc. :) I do have some information on some of these names as I am researching most lines in Patrick in order to try to discover where my lines came from prior to the formation of Patrick in 1794. Hopefully by tracing related families I can find a lead on my own line. Please let me know what you think about my joining the group. Thanks! Jeannie Clark Watts Jeannie (aka Madam X) http://www.trellis.net/users/madamx ***The truth is out there...can you help me find it?*** Access my database of over 4000 names directly from my site or via Gendex. Researching the areas of Southern WV, most of VA, The Dutch Colonies in NY and NJ, and also some lines in PA, OH, and foreign countries. ================= Jeannie: Welcome. The Etc/Etc covers a lot of surnames. Which Patrick Co families are you researching? We have other folks who are researching Patrick County. What counties in Southern WV are you researching? I'm from Raleigh Co. Nyla ================== Subj: Burnetts in Missouri Date: 97-10-31 21:16:56 EST From: JBkuper@cnsinternet.com (The Kupers) I have just started researching the Burnett's in Missouri. Thomas BURNETT was born 28 Jan.1820 in Tenn. He married Sarah HOWELL [born in Virginia on 11 Sept. 1821] on 18 August 1836 in Camden, Ray county, Missouri. They had a daughter Mary Frances who married Elihu Nichols and settled in Morgan county, Missouri. Any information would be great. Other surnames are AKIN, MOON, HODGES, NICHOLS all in Missouri. Thanks, Barb Kuper I have had my family out in old cemeteries in heat of nearly 100. I have had the chance to visit federal centers and many libraries. All this and still learning. It's great doing this work during the long winter months in Iowa. ======================= Subj: Responses Date: 97-10-31 20:27:34 EST From: lonfink@dmrtc.net (Lonnie Fink) To: NCreed1@aol.com Hi Nyla, Don't know why I monitor this list! I Don't have any TURNER/BURNETT or ROSS connections. I guess I am just an email Junkie! My wife has a few TURNER Sidelines of her MARSEE SIDELINES. Does that make CENS2US. I am an , with a big passion for roots hunting, although, genseng used to be fun, I hardly ever do it any more. Although, I do get out in the woods every once in a while a kill a squirrel or two! And mushroom hunting in the spring!! Been doing Genealogy for about 4-5 years and still very excited about it. I guess I swallowed the bait hook, line and sinker, last time I took my boat god knows when! Well, I a happily married man, just celebrating my ten year aniversary, born and raised in Floyd Co,IN and lived there until just over a year ago, when I had to move because of a job transfer, Hope to be able to retire from where I am working if I can just hang in there 8 more years in I can take an early retirement if I am forced to leave. Although, I would rather wait until 13 years to take a full retirement. I am now yrs of age,and graying more and more every day! I am an plumb idiot when it comes to genealogy, but learning everyday, heck I am always asking question, I would have to classify myself as , not really sure what that means! Do it mainly for the thrill of the hunt, and the pleasure I get when I can help others with their search, The others I am definitely not! I am a Math Wizard and English Idiot. But, my wife and my dogs love me so thats all that really matters. ;) Check out my new web page database!

Kirkman) To Sandy: My records show Anderson Via, b. ca 1800, as the son of William Via and Sarah Elizabeth Ingram. His wife was Jane---? I have one son listed for him, Sparrel Via, although I'm sure there were other children. I hope this helps. I don't have the parents of William Via, but Mary E. Ingram was the daughter of James and Martha "Patsy" Ingram who were married 30 May 1800 in Patrick County, VA. I'd like to hear from Jim Albanese re: the Norris family.

Nyla ======================== Subj: David's Poll Date: 97-10-31 18:36:10 EST From: tlillich@midusa.net To: NCreed1@AOL.COM (NCreed1@aol.com) Hi Nyla, have no secrets, print it all!! I have enjoyed the compilations so very much!! Haven't found my BURNETT connection---YET!!! But know I will. With all the "cousins" out there, (NC, SC, TN, VA, KY), we're bound to connect somewhere! Just haven't found the connection--YET!!! I love reading through the compilations and thank you so very much for sending them on! I am a year old "richman, poorman, beggarman, thief, doctor, lawyer, Indian chief!! In other words, I am a , WHATEVER! And darn happy about it!! All jobs, (except the thief apply!!) Rich in the fact I've been married to a wonderful man for 20 years this Dec 31, yes New Years Eve!! Been blessed with three sons, a Senior, 6th and 2nd grader! Thief, no, not that either, unless I'm applying it to "my own detective work", with a teenager!! (No, not really, we have been blessed with some pretty darn good kids! I started this genealogy progect about 10 years ago with my mom's side of the family, (Meyers, Shultz, Houser, Moon. Didn't get to dad's side until June of last year. He never had a soul that did ANY family genealogy or "stuff" like this, nor do we believe they would have! Dad's a retired Army man, with a LOT under the belt. Served in Korea, only 15, NO I'm not kidding! Stole his brother's I.D., joined the service, and they found out 1 day before his 17th birthday that they had an "underage" soilder in their midst!! he had been found out! He re enlisted after that and served 20 years with the Army. Actually if they'd count the two "illegal" years, it would have been 22 years! Proud of my father!! they offered him the rank of SGT MAJOR, he declined for I was going into high school at the time and dad DID NOT LIKE JUNCTION CITY KANSAS, where I would start my high school years, so he retired. He is one special person!! LOTS of BURNETT family, yet all are ##$%$#$# to the genealogy thing, UNTIL, DAD put the book out this fall!! Boy, has that struck the interest underneath a few ! No other person has ever (in this Burnett) family cared enough to do what he has done! Now we are getting folks to "REACH" us, BUT, we can't get past my GG Grandfather! His name was (only as we have it, Jerry), now I know people did not name their children "nick names" back then, as we tend to do now. I believe his name was Jeremiah Burnett. BUT can't PROVE it!!! I'd love to hear from ANYONE with the Burnett connection. Our "Jerry" was evidentely born in Indiana, or that is what we found out on the 1870 Rockcastle Co, KY, Census. He married a Charlotte Baker. I'm looking for the surnames, BURNETT, BAKER, JOHNSON, SAPP, FOSTER, VERNON. Any "cousins" with ANY of these names PLEASE, PLEASE, get ahold of me. I know we're in the Burnett family in particular in the KY/ VA/TN/ areas during the mid 1800 time frame. Possibly earlier, just won't say until I connect. Getting closer!! Several names on Comp #238, have the Burnetts, saw a Baker too! Please folks get ahold of me! Nyla, may have the Turner family here too, don't know yet! Keep up the GREAT HELP, you've done for this group! I happened to stumble on this a few months back!! I just keep finding out by experience! Isn't that the way life is anyway!!! I live in Kansas, the "Heartland of the USA"! Love the genealogy!!
