CJ My gggGrandfather settled in Southwest Mo. in 1837. There was a Joseph R. Burns that came with him. I don't have any other information on him except he stated he came to TN as a young lad. He was born Nov 4, 1788. Does he tie into your lines in any way. He refered to a older brother Jimmy that was killed on the way to CA in 1850. Please let me know.

I have these names....Joseph and James but in a reversed order. There are far too many Burns in my family to list here. I don't think these are the ones you are looking for as they were in KY and went to CA in 1853 but they are so close in name and DOBs that I wonder about them and how they might have been related. You can see them at http://www.angelfire.com/mt/mamachic/burns.html Thanks, Delleen Starner [email protected] > CJ > > My gggGrandfather settled in Southwest Mo. in 1837.

Lorene, Ooh.......I don't know. I can see some possibilities but nothing in what I have at this point pinpoints anything. Let me tell you what my situation is....I am just learning about the Burns family that I connect to when they were in KY and VA. There was a David Burns of Virginia that had 12 sons and one daughter!! Those sons branched out and went everywhere! There is a book coming out that will be over 700 pages long about this family - I don't know whether they have information on all of the sons. Their names were Samuel, David, Robert, Thomas, William, James, Isaac, Peter, Richard, Jeremiah, John, Jesse and I don't know the daughter's name. I descend from Jeremiah who went to KY from VA. There was one of Jeremiah's sons that went to central Tennessee and spread out from there. A little bit closer - in Missouri - my ggg grandfather was Benjamin Burns who originally settled in Clay County - he was there for the 1830 census, but in Missouri before 1821 - over towards Howard County. We only have one documented -for sure- son and that was Isaac. We believe he had sons Jeremiah M. Burns and Benjamin (Jr.) but could have had other sons that we have no knowledge of!! Benjamin married in 1800. I also know that some of his 1/2 brothers came to Missouri to the same area he was in, but who knows others - or their children - could have gone to other places in Missouri. On thing is for SURE! That is, that the Burns were very elusive and DIFFICULT to trace!! At least this line has been. I lucked out after years of frustration in finding the key that opened the door for me.....didn't think it was ever going to happen, and then it did! When I get a copy of this book I will have more information and just maybe?? One never knows! CJ [email protected] wrote: > CJ > > My gggGrandfather settled in Southwest Mo. in 1837.
