Hello, Did any of your Burns go to TN? I have a John Burns born Nov 4, 1788 that came to TN as a young lad according to his War of 1812 pension file. I just came back from TN where they informed me a young lad at that time was between 15 to 20 years old. If this is so, he could have came by himself or with other families. Does this John Burns fit in your line? Thank you, Lorene Noennig email [email protected]

My direct line goes: William Burns -b. Ayrshire Scotland d circa 1801, m Miss A. Eliot, bur. Blodgett Cemetary, Hudson NH Served in the Army of New Hampshire, fought @ Bennington and Bunker Hill David Burns b. circa 1787 m. Eliza Childs Daniel Merrill Burns b Hudson NH, 1821, m Emily Louise Clements 1857, d St Paul MN 1906 Arthur Lee Burns b NH 1863, m Frankie Welsh 1895, d 1937 Kansas City KS Ella Leah Burns Patrick My grandmother b 1897, Kansas City KS m 1922 Joseph Cecil Patrick, d Dec 21, 1935 Have also heard the story that this family is kin to the poet Robert Burns - but this may only be because our earliest known ancestor came from the same part of Scotland.

Hi Jackie & listers, No....I'm afraid that the lines don't match up, but your names are certainly interesting! Actually, the earliest known BURNS for my crew was Thomas Burns in Scotland, and he m. Margaret LESLIE c. 1700. Their son, John Burns, b. in Scotland, removed to the north of Ireland, came to America in 1736 from Londonderry with his family, settled in what is now Milford, NH, USA.

----- Original Message ----- From: Paul Burns <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Wednesday, October 25, 2000 10:29 AM Subject: [BURNS-L] Robert Burns, the Poet I have read many times that Robert Burns, the poet, was born Robert Burness and he changed his name later in life to Burns. His family was a member of the Campbell clan. I have always been curious about his relationship to others with the name Burns and would appreciate any info. ---------------------------------------------------------- Hi Paul and list, Interesting about the name BURNESS. The Britannica tells us that Sir Alexander BURNES of Scotland, explorer and diplomat, (1805-1841) is of the "same family as the poet Robert Burns." In Alexander's case, only the extra "S" is missing at the end of the name - but that is probably another spelling variation. Also, I'm looking for the descendants of BEN EMERY BURNS of the Boston and Nashua, NH region, brother of my grt grandfather. Ben Emery had a son, Arthur Burns, and a dau. Ruth Herrick Burns.

I've been following the Poet discussion and I too was told by my Grandmother that we were related...haven't found the link yet either. Here are some websites with his family genealogy.

Hi Yvonne and C J, I have heard the same thing from my grandmother. In our genealogy there are many people with the middle name of Burns, My fathers name was Robert after the poet, my name is Roberta after the poet, I have in my possession a book, "The complete Works Of Burns' including his letters. copyright 1834, It has been handed down from geneation to generation in our family and was supposed to have belonged to Jean Armour Burns, his wife. My geat grand mother was Sarah Eliza H. Burns, born around 1800, we are not sure what the H in her name stands for, Some say Hyslip. but cant prove it. She lived and married in Franklin County Georgia.She may have been born there also, no record of it. My grand mother could not tell me how we were related, just that we were. I have been searching but have run up against a dead end so far. I just wanted to tell my story, I know there are others out there beside's us with similar stories. Bobbi Lewis http://community.webtv.net/blew37/THESWEETSMELLOF

CJ, my grandmother told the same story, but the funny thing is, I can not get beyond her grandfather. lol Maybe someday. Yvonne

I've just found 4 siblings in the LDS site. My father and uncle never told me of these aunts and uncles of theirs, but had always said there was some link to the Poet. I haven't found any yet but am cross-referencing as much as I can with what I have so far. Does anyone have a David, William John (1856), Margaret (1858). Samuel (1860) or Helen (1864) Burns, born in Glasgow area? Judy

The origin of my Burns is in Scotland. My grandmother told me that we were distant cousins to the poet Robert Burns. Is there anyone on the list that has this same connection?

Other derivations of the name Burns include the Muinter Birn of Ulster, the O'Conboirne of Erris, and of course the Leinster O'Byrne clan. Also, in Sligo many people named Bourne or Bournes changed spelling to Burns. And we musn't forget the many Scot-Irish Burns who, like the poet, were originally named Burness. > [Original Message] > From: Francine G.

Hello all, I'm researching the Burns name in the UK, and Australia, grandmothers two brothers that emigrated to Australia in 1888, and through to 1893/4. The names are Hugh Fraser Burns, born, 22 March 1867. Left North Yorkshire for London to sail on the 5th April 1887, arrived in Brisbane, Australia, on the 1st June 1887, on the boat, Waroonga. The second brother was, John Lindsay Burns, born 1877, emigrated in 1893/4, in addition his sister Elizabeth Burns, born, 1868, also emigrated with John. Its the two brothers I'm interested in. Hugh Fraser Burns, had two children, Hugh Fraser Burns, born 30 December. 1891. Second child William John Burns, born 6th December, 1893. Mothers name unknown. John Lindsay Burns, married Francis Louisa Cook, 30 January,1907. Children, Marjorie Mary Burns, born 29 November,1908. Joyce Ann Burns, born 30 December. 1909. This is all the information I have at this moment, if you recognised the names above please contact me by e-mail. All information will be very welcome. Thank you. Ever grateful. Alfie.

Dear Fran, You left out a few spellings after the Burns familys hit the US soil. I came accross these: Barnes, Byrnes. Burnes, and Birnes. Thank you, Stella Cusick

Has any other Irish-American researching the BURNS surname discovered that the name was originally BERN or BEIRN or BEIRNE or O'BEIRNE in the early 1800s back in Ireland? These spelling variations of the same surname were apparently very common back in the Emerald Isle, when so few people could read and write, and almost no one could spell. It certainly raises havoc with genealogists; at least it did with this one. Fran Weeks
