Hi All: I have a George Alexander Burns, Sr., Aug. 17, 1817 Pa. (allegedly in Chester County) he married Dec 23 1854, Mahaska County, Iowa to Adaline Florence Snider b: Jun 30 1839, Jay County, Indiana. They resided in Iowa, Missouri (possibly the Aurora, Lawrence County, Mo. area) then on to Cherokee County, Kansas before finally settling in Altamont, Labette County, Kansas, where George passed away on Apr 20 1896 and is buried in the Elston Cemetery. After George's death, Adaline moved to Laramie County, Wyoming, where several of their children resided, and homesteaded all by herself. George was allegedly the son of Eleazer Burns b: 1791 Pa. and Mary Stiver b: 1793, although I have never been able to find proof of this. Children of this couple were George Alexander, Jr., m: Mary Vermillion; Elizabeth m: William Kendall Baker; Alice m: Jonas Ryland Baker; Lucinda m: Charles or John Ropp; Mary m: Cyrus Wilkie Metcalf & Casper Mergenschrouer; Alfred m: Hattie Angeline Denison & Dora Thornbrew; Laura Adaline m: Hurbert A. Smith; Estacia Margaret m: Wesley McGill (Laura and Tacy were twins); Aaron m: Isabell Gaw; and Nora Adell m: Gallio Claudis Connelly. Does anything sound familiar to anyone? Allice Burns Reynolds
