My Thomas Aubrey BURNS was born 19 May 1827 in Missouri. However, we have not been able to pin him down anywhere for sure after that. His birth date was taken from his father's Bible record and his father died in 1872 - at time we assume Thomas was still living as no entry for his death is there. I believe he may have been the Thomas that is living close to Asbury Wesley who would be a brother - in Nemeha Co ., Nebraska in 1856, but can't be sure. I do not have a marriage on him or names of any children. These Burns are very elusive!! Don't seem to want to be found!!

My GGFather was a THOMAS BURNS from TEXAS, he married a MISSOURI 'SUE' INGRUM or INGRAM and she was Native American possibly Cherokee or Choctaw. I have no birthdates on this couple, however my GFather CLAUD BURNS was born in 1886, in TEXAS also, so I am only assuming "THOMAS" must have been born around 1840's to the 1860's. Do you have dates, spouses or children for your "THOMAS BURNS" ? > Also to [email protected] I noticed you also mentioned a THOMAS BURNS who was the son of a GEORGE P.BURNS & MARY ANN LESTER, do you have dates on your BURNS line ? particulary THOMAS. I am sure of my Thomas's birthplace as being Texas, but have no info at all concerning where earlier ancestors were from. Would like to hear from anyone that thinks they may have a link to my BURNS". > Terrie Burns Coffee > > > ==== BURNS Mailing List ==== > Did you know that only 7% of Rootsweb subscribers support Rootsweb? > If you're not already a Rootsweb member, please join with us! > RootsWeb Gen.

Just a wild suggestion from a lurker here,---if you know when and where the father died---and you know the son is elsewhere---have you checked the county records where the father died --maybe a power of attorney from the sons to collect anything due them from the fathers death? That would tell you where they were. But probably you have already considered that.
