Hi Pat, Thought these Burns may be connected. :) Saw where Dennis answered you. Concerning the "A" and "E" - In my FTM file I have Gale as the source for the "A". I don't know where he found that. The "E" came from a headstone picture Helen sent me. Have a good day.

Lona, Concerning the A middle initial. Somewhere I have found his middle name listed as Augustus. I have a transcript of the obituary provided by Helen Ray which reads as follows: 3. Michael A. Burns Obit. Michael died 26 July 1929 He was survived by three daughters: Mrs. Harry L. Stover of Fertigs Mrs. Otis Overture, Buffalo, NY and Mrs. Ira French of Cranberry. two sons: Frank of Bakersfield, OK and Wm A. , of Sebring, OHIO. Burial in St. Catherine cemetery in Cranberry Twp. Samuel Coulters obituary transcript lists Mary nee Coulter as Mrs M.A. Byrnes as follows: 3. Obituary for Samuel Coulter. VCP 9 Feb 1905 SAMUEL COULTER aged 90, pioneer resident of Venango Co., died in Cranberry, Jan 28, 1905. Born near Londonary, Ireland, Oct 31, 1815, the son of John and Mary Coulter. He came to America in 1836, to Scrubgrass one year later, then to Rockland. He married Mrs. Lavinia Davis of Rockland, where they resided until 1864 when they came to Cranberry and built the Coulter House where they resided until 1880 when they went to Oil City and had charge of Cristie House and old Lawrence House. They went back to the Coulter House during the oil excitement. He is survived by his wife and children: Mrs. J. Bishop of Freedom, PA; Mrs. M.A. Byrnes of Maple Shade, PA; Mrs. J. A. Barclay of Allegheny; Mrs. J. D. Welsh of Independence, KA; Mrs. C. H. LeGoullon of Cranberry; J. J. Coulter of Cranberry. Interment to be in the Brandon Cemetery. The PA-roots/Venango web site lists the following about Michaels parents. John BYRNES - b. 1802 in Ireland, d. 8 Oct 1887 on his farm on Old Byrnes Hill in Cranberry Township; married Rosanna BOYLE, d/o John Owen & Mary BROGAN Boyle; they are both buried in St. Catherine's Cemetery in Cranberry Township.
