I've been monitoring the Shelby County, Kentucky genweb newsgroup, and have had a conversation concerning the Shepherds, Carriss's, and Burnetts, and how they intermarried. Some good info has been provided by several participants, and I thought it would be good to send it on to you guys, so you can add it to the files. Read on and enjoy... Linda-- I have a Henry S. Carriss, born 1795, died 1861. He was married to three different women that I have records of, none of which was Nancy Ritchey, but my info may be incomplete. I show his three wives as Katherine ?, Elizabeth Tinsley, and Roda M. Brown. He ties into my family because Roda Brown was the widow of James Morrison Burnett, and I am descended from the Burnetts. I show that he had the following children: With Katherine ? Jane Carriss Sallie Carriss Simon Carriss, born abt. 1824 With Roda M. Brown Margaret Louisa Carriss, born abt. 1835 Sarah M. Carriss, born abt. 1840 Martha Carriss, born abt. 1842 Henry C. Carriss, born abt. 1844 Isabel Carriss, born abt. 1844 Maria Carriss, born abt. 1846 John Carriss, born abt. 1845 William Carriss, born abt. 1846 James Carriss, born abt. 1848 My notes also show the following: Henry S. Carriss's first wife is unknown. (Maybe Nancy Ritchey rather than Katherine ?) His second wife was Rhoda M. Brown Burnett, widow of James Morrison Burnett. He and his first wife had four children, one of whom has been identified. He had three or four children with Rhoda Brown Burnett Carriss. Henry and Rhoda are shown with at least seven children, and in the 1850 Census, there were 11 people in the household, some probably grandchildren. I would like to correspond with you about this, and will most certainly trade info. Kevin Stephenson Kevin K.

This seminary was operated from 1897 to 1912 by the Misses Annette and Hasseltine Fuller in their home on Moss Street in Martinsville. Tuition ranged from $2 to $4, depending on the course. Boarding students paid $10 a month. A Martinsville Military Academy was also chartered in 1897 and operated by Colonel Robert Morgan with the assistance of Rev. Charles Myers. It was in existence only 3 years. Ruffner Institute, established in 1877, was the first graded elementary and secondary public school.

Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Content-Length: 2071 My name is Travis Burnett and I am currently attending Baker University, which is located in eastern Kansas. I have decided that it was time for me to trace back a little family history for myself, and thought that this would be a good place to start. Below I will try to chart neatly what little I know of my family past. To make it a little easier on myself I am going to start at myself to as far back as I currently know---which isn't far, sadly enough. I, Travis Jack Burnett, was born February 12, 1980 to Travis Norman Burnett, II and Teresa Ann Garrett. I am their only child together. My father, Travis Norman Burnett, II, was born to Travis Norman Burnett and Frances Carlene Grace on October 17, 1956. My grandfather, Travis Norman Burnett, was born to John Percival Burnett and Mamie Bernice Taylor on date unknown, 1933. My great-grandfather, John Percival Burnett, was born to John Courtlan (sp?) Burnett and Mattie [middle?] Travis on date unknown, 1906. To my knowledge it was my great-grandfathers dad, John Courtlan (sp?) Burnett and what family he had then, were the first Burnett's of mine to migrate to America. I am right now awaiting information from my great-grandfather, John Percival Burnett, on whether this is correct or not, however. I am also under the impression that they first settled in South Carolina before traveling west and settling in either Montana or Wyoming for a while, before finally settling down for good in the Fresno, California area somewhere between 1915 and 1920. One other fact which would be helpful is that in my Burnett heritage line there were no women born for eleven generations! I found this to be very interesting. No women were born until my great-grandfather's generation when three of his four brothers, named Harvey, Bill, Travis (died at age 9), John (?), birthed only women. This is everything that I know about my Burnett heritage. Should there be anyone that has any useful information to me, I would greatly appreciate it.
