Doesn't appear the Byrne/Burns Family was in Nelson Co until around 1800. UNLESS, Michael Burns of the 1791 tithes is BYRNES???

James Byrns - Maria McLean surety: Stephen Burns, both over 21, m 10 Dec 1840, J. Bullock. It would appear that the John Byrne 67 in the 1850 Cen Meade Co is the John who m Catharine Hill. John b ca 1783--would suppose that Catharine is about the same age. Which could possibly put her as d/o Atkinson Hill. Per Nelson Co Tithes: Atkinson Hill 7-2 Jos Barnett's list 1785 Atkinson Hill, Thomas Goodwin 2 Wil May's list, 1787 Atkinson HIll, Thomas Goodin 2 Atk Hill's #2, 1788 Atkinson Hill, John Osborn 2 Atkinson Hill's list, 1790 Atkinson Hill 1 tithe Atkinson Hill's list 1791 Harrey Hill, James Jarber 2 Atkinson Hill's list 1791 Thomas Hill 2 James Baird's list 1788 Thomas Hill; negro Grace 2 John Caldwell's list 1790 Thomas Hill; negro Grace 2 Jno Caldwell's list, 1791 William Hill 1 Atkinson Hill's list 1791 Is it possible that Atkinson Hill was married twice??? His will names daus & 1 son William. Execs: James Slaughter, Joseph HILL, Elisha Johnson (son-in-law) & Wilford Lee (b 1774, son-in-law- m 2 daus???-the 2 daus who m Wilford Lee were both named as Lee in will, so question &2 mg of Wilford Lee-1841 Jefferson Co, Ky- unless she was a Widow Lee when Wilford married her?????). Wits: Wm HILL, Hugh Reynolds, Wm Vittitow, John Protsman, James Rhodes, rec'd 25 Jun 1824. In later pages-- only Wilford Lee acts as exec of Atkinson's estate. But: Hill male Mgs in Nelson Co: Thomas m Ann Mitchell bond 25 Sep 1812; Wm Byrn signed bond; both over 21. George - Sally Mills 4 Aug 1814 by Nathan Hall min ret James - Dolly Eldridge 4 Apr 1814 W. Stallard, min ret. John - Fanny Nalle 18 Feb 1814 Barnaby McHenry min ret Robert - Sarah Cotton 18 Jan 1816 W. Stallard min ret Wm - Lucy Abel 13 Aug 1813 Daniel Walker min ret. Wonder what Atkinson' 1st name was ??? Atkinson is obviously a surname, as is Hill. Phila. Co, Pa Ch Records 1709-60 has both Hill and Atkinson records. IE: Wm Atkinson bur 28 Nov 1729 Nicholas, s/o Wm bur 1 Jun 1742 Nicholas, s/o Wm & Mary, bapt 6/Dec/1733. Hill records as well--but do not know IF these pretain to Atkinson. IF he was born 1755--maybe Rev War but can't find record for Atkinson Hill. Can't find Atkinson Hill in PA. Mary Y.
