I am seeking the forbears of Joseph Burnett, listed in the 1850 U.S. Census at Dallas County, AL, Summerfield Beat. Born 16 June 1822, (NC or SC), died 26 April 1872, possible a resident of Perry or Greene County at that time. Someone sugggested he was son of Thomas Burnett and Mary Quarles of Edgefield District, SC. Do not know if that is accurate. Joseph Burnett was married to Jane Collins Green Burnett, on 20 October 1846. Jane was married earlier to John D. Green, who died 12 August 1838. Jane and John D. Green had one son, John, born 1838 in Al. Child was born the same year his father died. Joseph and Jane had 5 children: Mary Agnes, born in 1846; Franklin, born in 1849 (according to information I was given, Franklin died at about 3 years of age); George Monroe (my great-grandfather), born in 1851; Mary J.S., born in 1853; Irena Y. [possibly Irene], born in 1856. Any information about Joseph Burnett's birthplace and his father and mother will be much appreciated. Thanks! Marshall Burnett, Ed. D.
