Posted on: Alamance County, NC Query Forum Board URL: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/NC/Alamance?read=566 Surname: ------------------------- I am researching my great great grandfather, Oston 'Also' BURNETT, and his family which originated in the section of Alamance County that was once the southern district of Orange County before 1849. His parents were Aaron BURNETT and Abigail WILLIAMS. Abigail was also married to an Edward BOWMAN and had a daughter, Margaret. I have a marriage bond between Alcey BURNETT and Nancy BURNETT on 26 January 1825 in Orange County. The witness is Michael HOLT and the bondsman is Samuel JEFFRIES. Also and his family migrated to Indiana in possibly 1839-1840. They are listed as "people of color", which means they may have been African American, Indian or both. The 1850 Census for Alamance County lists the majority of Burnett's as "mulatto". Any evidence linking Also BURNETT and his family to the Alamance area of "Old Orange County" would be appreciated.
