Hi Mary, Didn't find too much checking the different spellings of both the names. You didn't give any dates or first names to go with the surname. If you're looking for a James R. and Elizabeth Burkhart, they went to Platte Co., MO. Let me know if any of these are the right first names, and I'll send the info. 1900 Census - Lincoln Twp. St. JOHN - Rufus Maggie KEARNS - Mary E. Flory A Martha Minnie A Perl R. KEARNS - Joseph Abagal J. 1860 Census - Union Twp. BURKHART - Elijah Palina 1870 Census - Lincoln Twp. KEARNS/KEAMS - Josephus Abigal James P Anne E Smith Mahala Frank For 1870, there's also a Mahala Kearns, 75 yrs, retired that's living with a JEWELL family. 1880 Census - Jackson Twp. KERNS - Thomas M Lydia Ann KEARNES Josephus Abigill Smith Mahala Frank Nellie V. KERNS - Merrell Mary J Malinda L Olie M Let me know if any match and I'll send on the rest of the information.
