I have lost original message regarding Samuel Burns of Barre, VT Still there is a prominent Burns family owning a major business in the area. I suggest you contact the Vermont Historical SOciety for guidance in this search. 109 State St. Montpelier, VT 05609-0901 Perhaps the folks there can point you in the right direction. Or the Barre Historical Society, 46 Granite St. Barre, VT 05641
