Can't help you much with the Thomas Nelson Burns side of your dilemma, but here's what I found in "Genealogies of Marion Co Families 1811-1900" pub 1997 by the MCAR Historical Society. Tom N Burns m MCAR 15 Jan 1899 Lillie D Wood (daughter of Ambrose Sevier "Bud" & Catherine "Katie" [Estes] Wood) b Kingdon Springs MCAR July 1878. Children: Homer Burns m Ethel Clark; Verlie Burns; Jerome "Rome" Burns; Cecil Burns b 16 Dec 1903 d 7 Jan 1972 m/1 J B Waggoner m/2 Murley James Johns. In "Marion Co Marriage Records 1896-1905" I find TN Burnes aged 32 of Stone m MCAR 15 Jan 1899 Lillie Wood aged 21 of Stone. Stone was a post office between 1884 and 1913. It, like Kingdon Springs, was located in the area of a great many of the zinc and lead mines during the mining era of MCAR. Sorry I don't have any more definitive information for you.

Is this the same Burnes family line who owned the funeral home? Authored books, Marian Burnes, right?

Most probably not, Barb. That Burnes family has been documented every which way but loose from their emigration to Maryland, thru the Revolutionary War, thru TN and beyond MCAR. Apparently there is no Tom Nelson Burns within that particular Burnes family. Contact Barb Price [email protected] or Brandy [email protected] to verify this. It's my guess - only a guess, mind you - that this Tom Nelson Burns was one of several thousand people that moved to MCAR during the mining era. The dates are right, the locations (Kingdon Springs and Stone) are right, the fact that he's not listed in the MCAR 1880 nor in "Marion Co 1890" by Helen McMindes all lead me to think this is a valid possibility.
