He was born in my home county of Union in Indiana. The below listed URL will take you to information at the Union Co. library concerning the Burnside family.

According to one source, Wm. T., born 1780, was a son of James Burnside, Sr. I do not know about the accuracy of this, but there was a Wm. T. in Laurens Co. who was born about 1780. Could this have been the source for the above "source"? The Laurens Co. census of 1840 has a Wm. T. age 60-70, and the 1850 census has a Wm. T. age 70. The 1850 census has an Ann age 40 who could be either his wife or sister. The 1830 census has a Wm. F. age 40. The T and F can be confused with the old script, and I do not have a copy of the original census in order to be certain about this middle initial. The 1810 through 1829 censuses have 2 Wm. Burnsides, one of whom corresponds to a person born about 1780. The other was born before 1786. Both lived along Beaverdam Creek, I believe, a tributary of Little River. The Wm. T. in 1850 also lived in this vicinity. The W. F. in 1830 looks like he lived over toward Cross Hill, probably in the Cane Cr. or Mudlick Cr. watersheds. Deed Book M, page 40, 1814, has Wm. T. Burnside and wife Mary selling 54 acres to Wm. Crosson. "Part of land formerly Joseph Hollingsworth converted by his heirs to David Hollingsworth, then to James Burnside, and then to Wm. T. Burnside. Deed M-41, 1827, has this same piece of property sold by Wm. Crosson to James Atwood Williams. It identifies this property as being in the Mudlick Cr. watershed. James Burnside owned some land on Mudlick. Examples are deeds F-208, F-209, F-443, M-24, and M-41. Deed M-243, 1831, has Wm. Burnside and wife Eleanor selling 21 acres on Beaverdam Cr. to John Odell. A plat is shown. The land borders Wm. Burnside, Fowler's Mill, Robert Workman, and Thos. Fowler. "Part of tract granted to John Lucas". Deed M-74, 1828, has Bluford ? F. Griffen mortgaging 376 acres on Beaverdam Cr. to John Odell. A plat is shown which has 177 acres on the southwest side of the river and 199 acres on the northeast side. "Estate of Wm. Young". Borders Est. of Wm. and Thos. Burnside, dec., Wm. Young, John Odell, Joseph Babb, and Robert Workman. Deed M-254 shows the same plat, described as a survey requested by Beaufort Griffen, 1828. Shows same bordering property owners, including "Wm. and Thos. Burnside estate"on the northwest side. Deed M-200, 1831, has Bluford F. Griffen selling 402 acres on Little River near Beaverdam Cr. Bordering property owners Wm. and Thos. Burnside, dec., John Odell, and Ben Brown. A plat is included that shows Wm. Burnside on the northwest, and Hannah Burnside on the north, adjacent to the southwest side of Little River. Deed M-255, 1832, includes the identical M-200 plat. In this deed, B. F. Griffen and wife Agnes L. sell 778 acres made of 2 tracts on Beavedam Cr. to John Odell. Tract #1 is 326 acres and borders Wm. & Thos. Burnside estate, Robert Workman, Joseph Babb, John Odell, and Wm. Young (minor). Tract #2 is 402 acres and borders Wm. and Thos. Burnside estate, John Odell, and Ben Brown. The above does not make it at all clear as to which William was the son of James, Sr., but maybe it will help.

There was a younger Wm. Burnside in Laurens Co. Although this will not help identify the son of James, Sr., it should be of interest to Burnside researchers. A Wm. E. Burnside is in the 1850 census, 35 years old. On or near page 228 in the census. Deed Book Q, page 181, 1857, has W. E. Burnside selling 14 1/2 acres to a group of people as a grave yard. "Known as the Maulding Burial Ground", on road from Cross Hill to Waterloo, a half mile from Cross Hill. (I believe that in 1857 Cross Hill was located at the "5-point" location). Deed Q-266, 1861, Milton Cox mortgaged 36 9/10 acres to John G. Turner. Bordered Wm. E. Burnside, James Leamon, M.F.Bullock, Wm. Hitt, and John g. Turner. (No location was given in the deed, but I believe that the land was not too far from Cross Hill). In Deed N-186, 1837, Geo. Holditch and wife Jane sold 175 acres total in the Little River watershed to Willis and Wm. E. Burnside. "Thos. Nickles Place" plus a piece of land formerly Dan Craddock. Sold to James McCollums. Borders Nat. Day, Feril Milam, WDA Dean, and Little River. The Craddock tract bordered Sanford Powell, WDA Dean. "Dean now owns the part of the Craddock land sold to MCollums. (I believe that this land is further upstream than most of the other Burnside tracts). In the 1840 census for Wm. T. Burnside, he shows 3 male "children", one in the 20-30 age bracket that could (repeat-could) correspond to Wm. E., and one in the age bracket 30-40. I do not have any information on the age of Willis Burnside mentioned in the above deed. I do not have any census records in my notes for any more William Burnsides after 1850.
