    1. [BURNS-L] William W. Burns 1829-1903 Cumberland Co KY
    2. Trying to find parents/siblings of William W. Burns. Have been told his father may be "Berry Burns". William was discharged from CSA with disability due to contracting measles which left his lungs and hearing damaged. He drew pension from government "He was in C. War in 5th Calvary under Capt. Bradshaw. Enl. 10/4/1861 dis. 4/28/1862 disabled due to contracting measles in service" William married Sarah Jane Norris (daug of John J. Norris & Jane Murphy) on 11 Oct 1852 in Cumberland Co where they remained the rest of their lives. On a census, William stated both parents born WV, but WV not a state at the time of Parents' births, so probably VA. Name is found as Burns, Burnes, (and even Barnes) on various records. Any help would be appreciated. Happy to share info. Cherie in Indy
