I am forwarding your message and my reply to the Burnett-Turner newsgroup so that anyone who might have a link for you can let you know. The genealogist of the House of Burnett, June Bork, is a member, along with about 175 other folks who are researching the Burnetts and others. Let's see if anyone can help you! Kevin K.

Stephenson Subject: Re: Indiana Burnetts Kevin, Thanks for replying to my query:-) I know next to nothing on my Burnett line, so I don't have much information to give you. My 3rd great-grandmother, Martha (Burnett) Agee, was born abt. 1815/16, in Tennessee. On 1 December, 1831, she married William (Jarrett?) Agee in Putnam county, Indiana. I found this marriage listed on a CD ROM at my local library. I haven't had a chance to do any research in Putnam county, so I don't know anything about her time there. I did find a couple of other Burnetts in Putnam county listed on that CD ROM. They are: Elisha Burnett & Elizabeth Burkett, 31 March, 1829; Elisha Burnett & Elizabeth Gibson, 30 Dec., 1829; William Burnett & Sally Jones, 29 Aug., 1832; and Anna Burnett & James Jarratt, 4 Oct., 1832. I don't know if any of these Burnett's are related to my Martha, but given the time frame they could be related. Martha had seven children: Mary Ann, Richard, Elizabeth, Matilda Jane, Benjamin, Lourena (my 2nd great-grandmother), and George William Agee. The first five children, born between abt. 1834 and 1842, were all born in Indiana - though I don't know if it was Putnam county. The family then moved to Buchanan county, Missouri, where my Lourena was born in 1844. By the 1850's they were living in Doniphan county, Kansas, and Martha's husband, William, died there in 1857. Martha died on 29 March, 1899, Huron, Atchison county, Kansas. Well, that's all I know about my Burnett line. (Told you it wasn't much!) I'm really hoping that Martha is familiar to you - I could really use a lead:) I didn't know anything about William Agee's line until a couple of months ago when I found someone over the Internet. I now have information back to the 1600's in France! (The Internet really is a genealogist gold mine:) Jennifer Wathen PO Box 494 Cleveland, MS 38732-0494 Kevin K.

Labourn's children were Alexander P., Matthew, Mary Jane and Brittain (my gg grandfather). These particular Burnetts moved to Florida in the early 1800's. Am looking for any information on Samuel W.

I am a recent subscriber and a descendant of Shadrack Turner of VA (his son William Turner was my ggggg grandfather). I am also descended from Francis Turner (his son Adam Turner was my gggg grandfather) who died in Patrick Co, VA, about 1803. This is the particular line that has me stymied! According to WFT, there is a tree for a Francis Turner who was born in Co. Cork, Ireland, about 1740, moved to Albermarle Co, VA and eventually died in Patrick Co in 1804. He had 5 children: Esther (b.1765 - d. WFT est 1766-1859), Adam (b. abt.1767 - d. WFT est 1768-1857), James (b. abt. 1768 - d. WFT est. 1769 - 1858), John (b.1772 - d. 1793), and Elizabeth "Betsy" Turner (b abt. 1774 - d. 1844). However, there is another WFT entry that lists a Francis Turner with no listing of his birthplace but the estimated dates are akin to the Co. Cork Francis; plus, the second Francis also died in Patrick Co, plus he too had children named (in this order) Adam, Esther, James, John, and Elizabeth "Betsy" Turner -- all of their estimated birth and death dates also are akin to the first Francis' offspring. Now, I would assume that these two Francis Turners are one and the same person, except that I have two separate husbands for Elizabeth "Betsy": the first was married to Edward Darnby abt. 1796 (and I believe they had children), while the second "Betsy" was married to Robert Rowan on Sept. 15, 1798 (this husband was mentioned in the second Francis' will of 1 Oct. 1803). Since "Betsy" #1 apparently had children with Edward Darnby, it seems impossible that only two years later she would marry Robert Rowan, so I guess these are two separate Francis Turner families, right? But how coincidental is it that they would both be based in Patrick Co, and include 5 children with the exact same names, in practically the same birth order?? If anyone could shed some light on this for me, I'd be extremely grateful! Sorry to have rambled on so long! I am also researching Ingram, Bryant, Moran, Jordan, Adams, Hunter, and Thompson. Thanks so much for any help anyone might be able to give me, and hopefully I may be able to be of help to someone else!
