Carol, Will you take a look at this William A. Burns family of mine and see if you can make any connections? Also notice that the wife of Henry Haynes Burns was from Union Co. SC. You can click on her Harris line at the top of the page. Thanks, Sue http://www.geocities.com/Heartland/Pines/5077/burns.htm

You may already know this, but most Burns/Bournes from Roscommon were from the O'Beirne sept.

George Burns Sr died 1771 in Edgefield, SC. In 1789 the land of George Burns senior was divided among his sons George, Robert, and William. 1790 census. George Burns, Edgefield: 30000 (apparently George and his brothers Robert and William) 1800. George Burns: 20010 10010 04 George Burns died before 1810, his estate was administered by John Burns and the widow Sally with Jesse Paine and Edward Kirksley securities George left sons David Rd Burns and George H Burns. They had moved to Union County, SC, by 1825. Robert Burns, son of George Burns Senior who died 1771 in Edgefield SC. He died before 1800 leaving widow Fanny and one child, Robert born 1798 who married Mary Burton and had a daughter Frances who married Garland Goode. I don't know if Robert and Mary had other children. The widow of Robert Burns the son of George Burns Senior married second to Nathaniel Samuel. William the son of George Burns Senior who died 1771 in Edgefield, SC. William died 1826. I am a bit confused about his wives. I think perhaps he first married Sarah Conner but am very uncertain. His wife when he died was Fanny Crews (Cruise) the widow of Abraham Cruise. Fanny had a daughter Frances Crews. Willliam's son George was born 1795 and died November 1826. William also had a son John, two daughters, one of whom was probably Lucinda. John whom I believe to be the eldest son of George but maybe not, was born about 1763 and died 1816 at age 53. He married Agnes "Nancy " Walker and had two children: Elizabeth Catherine born 1813, and John Heard Burns born 1815. John Heard Burns's first guardian was Catlett Conner, the "learned blacksmith" who was a state senator. After Conner's death, Elias Lake became John H Burns's guardian. John's first wife was Harriet C Pettigrew who died 1 March 1843 in Eutaw, Alabama, leaving one son John E Burns born 1842 in Greene County, AL, who died between 1850 and 1853 in Caddo Parish, LA John Heard Burns's second wife was Elvira Hapzibah Maxwell who died 6 October 1852 leaving sons Simeon Maxwell b 1847 March 21 and who married Lizzie Green; Simeon Maxwell Burns died 20 September 1920, leaving sons Simeon and Bill who married Faldine Rhilander, and daughter Nan. Elvira's second son was Albert Walter Burns born 1848 John Heard Burns's third wife was Mary Elizabeth Lake daughter of Elias Lake and Eleanor Henderson. She had Eleanor "Nellie" born 29 Jan 1856 in Caddo Parish LA who married 1877 Chaarles Hill and had Charles, Nellie, Minnie, and John. John and Mary Elizabeth had Elias Lake Burns born about 1855 in Caddo Parish who died after 1880. Also Mary Agnes "Minnie" born 21 April 1864 died 6 January 1940 in Milam County, Texas, and finally daughter Kate who lived and died in 1867. I would appreciate corrections and additions to the above. By no means am I absolutely certain of the early relationships. Carol

George Burns died about April 1771 in Granville County, SC, now Edgefield County. His wife was Elizabeth; I think she was Elizabeth Heard. Land conveyance records prove three of George Burns's sons: George born between 1756 and 1771, Robert born before 1768, William born between 1766 and 1771. Birth dates from Edgefield SC census records. John Burns settled George Burns's estate. I believe John to be eldest son, but have no proof. John married Agnes "Nancy" Walker who was born between 1784 and 1794. Nancy's second husband was William Burgess. I have more about this family, and am happy to share. Carol

Hi list, There were folks looking for Massachusetts Burns a while back. Since I'm doing some research on an Arthur W. Burns from Mass., Pvt., died in France Apr. 27, 1918, on the honor roll of the American Battle Monuments Commission--thought I'd list a few others from the state. For others that may be interested in all Burns' (or any name) who have so far been listed on the honor roll for WW1, WW2, and Korea, please go to the ABMC web site at: http://www.abmc.gov/ and click on the honor roll banners for the war-period you would want to search. This will take you to a search window where the name is typed in. For Mass. in WW1: John Joseph Burns, Lawrence J. Burns, Roy W. Burns. Bob Jackson ---

Hi list I am seeking information on James Burns who married Ellen Finner. They had a daughter named Margaret Jane Burns, born August 8, 1872 in Arnprior Ontario. Does anyone make a connection to these names? Sherrice

Hi all, Canadian National Archives list all members of the Canadian Expeditionary Forces who enlisted 1914 to 1918. Only possible candidate I see is as follows.

Hi listers, Thought I'd give this a try again, what with all the recent activity and all... Expecially since this most recent topic was a "Gilbert" Burns (even if it wasn't the "right" one for me). I'm trying to find ANY information on my grandfather, Gilbert Franklin Burns. My mother's parents divorced when she was only two, so not much information is available on him. We suspect that he may have had an alias (or maybe more than one), and we do know that he was in trouble with the law more than once. My grandmother, Grace Ella Follansbee, met him while he was at Fort Devins (Massachusetts) in April or May of 1919, when she visited there (for some unknown reason) with her uncle. Inside the front cover of one of her diaries is written "Serg. Gilbert Burns, Moter Transport Company, Containment, H.Q." and next to that is written "no 747". Inside the back cover is written "956-W, Gilbert Burns". We have four snapshots of him, including two pictures of him in some type of military uniform, one with hat and one without. [Military Records in St. Louis, however, tells us that they have no record of anyone by that name being there at that time. Someone has suggested that perhaps he could have been in the Canadian military, on detached service to the US...??] They were married on 10 October, 1919 in the Methodist Church in St. Lambert Parish, Montreal, Province of Quebec, Canada, and a copy of their marriage license gives his name as "Gilbert Franklin Burns" of the city of Montreal, and his parents as "Thomas Arthur Burns" and Ella (Etta?) Bailey. We do know that they ran off to be married there as my gmother and family lived in Keene, NH and she was under age to be married there. My mother was born in 1920, and her birth certificate lists his age as 24, which would mean he was born about 1896. My aunt was born in 1921 and her birth certificate lists his age as 25, which follows. On both the father's name is given as "Gilbert F. Burns" of Sherbrooke, Canada. However, on my aunt's marriage record, 16 years later, her father's name is given as "Albert Burns", age 48 -- in 16 years he aged 23 years or he was born around 1889 -- or she was mistaken... We have, as yet, been unable to determine anything else about this man or his family. I have a niece who has done some digging on him, and also a cousin. The only immediate relative who could have shed any light on this subject, my grandmother's brother, passed away a few years ago, adamantly refusing to say anything about Gilbert or the marriage to my grandmother, which ended in divorce 16 May, 1923. We do know that while married, they resided for a time in St. Johnsbury, Vermont, and Keene, New Hampshire. ANY information on this Burns family would be greatly appreciated! TIA! Mike Haskins

WoW.....reading this message appears someone is outraged! I dont think the writer meant it like it was taken...Those were words from a grandmother.....most likely elderly. Not all, but alot of elderly have their own opinions of people and are not afraid to let their OPINIONS out. I personaly think it was wrong to condem the writer....The writer was just stating how one person felt. Lets stop judging......its not our job.
