If memory serves me, legendary comedian Bob Newhart's mother was related to the Burns family in Maysville. She was from Maysville, herself, and was either a Burns, or her mother was. Cannot remember for sure. She may have been a Shea, a family which intermarried with the Burns family.

Gilmore (1850-1898) ca 1875. They lived in Maysville in the 1880's. Later, Mary Ann is listed in her mother's 1911 obit as "Mrs. Thomas Gilmore of Richmond, VA" Don't know if the Thomas is a typo or if she remarried, very possible since her Michael died fairly young. Don't really have much more on this, Mary Ann is not in my direct line and had no children that I know of, but I have made notes about her as I have come across them, I am a descendant of her brother, John Joseph Burns. ==== KYMASON Mailing List ==== Visit the Mason County Website! http://www.rootsweb.com/~kymason/mason.htm Be sure to bookmark it! --------------------------------- Start your day with Yahoo! - make it your home page

Hi Ben, Yes, well remembered, Bob's mother was a Burns, his grandmother was a Shea, from Maysville. Have you researched that line?
