My gg grandfather and mother - John Wood Burns/Mary J. Elliott - both died in Gentry County in 1851. He was the son of Isaac Burns and grandson of Benjamin/Sarah Smith Burns. I find others of this family (Jeremiah M. Burns family, Benjamin Smith Burns family, James Sampson Burns, and Privetts) that also were married and/or died in Gentry county. I would love to be in contact with anyone who knows of other Burns connections to these families. CJ Nichols
