I haven't made the request in a while, and I'm hoping there are some new list members out there. I'm looking for any information on the Tallahassee Burns. Specifically, I'm looking for any information on the origins of my g.g.grandfather, Michael Burns (who went by Mike, and Mack as well, and is misspelled on a census as Michel) He married Elizabeth (Eliza/Lizzie) Geddie. They lived in Spring Hill (Leon Co) FL and later Tallahassee. I know that he was born in GA sometime between 1814-1825, but I have no idea where in GA. There is a Civil War Pension record that I have seen, but again, I have no clue if he had siblings or who his parents are. Thanks!

Has anyone any info on a Burns ford at the Youghiogheny River in or around Fayette Co.,PA. This is mentioned in the "REPORT OF THE COMMISSION TO LOCATE THE SITE OF THE FRONTIER FORTS OF PENNSYLVANIA: Vol II, Part 10" "Sparks Fort" "Spark's Fort was near Burns' ford, in what is now Perry township, Fayette county. Also from Ellis Franklin's book "History of Fayette County" page 711-this is listed "Thomas Burns, it being a part of the Burns Tract, which extended to the Youghiogheny River, and on which the Burns ford is located. thanks steve thanks steve
